      My Mrs has a tattoo of a seashell on her inner thigh. It's so realistic, that if you put your ear against it, you can smell the sea

        my dad had a bluebird tatooed on his forearm.
        he reckoned it was the worst mistake he made as a lad, so I followed his advice and never had one.

          If I ever get a tat it will be a big blurry green anchor on my right forearm just like my dear old granddad, god bless his soul.

            As the saying goes, the only difference between a person with a tattoo and a person without one is that they don't care whether you've got one or not...




            ...having said that, I did get a bit carried away when I was getting mine about five years ago, and ended up saying to the guy that was doing it that "I think one or two tattoos can be nice, but getting too many with contrasting styles can look a bit of a mess, you know?". It was at that point I remembered the man with a very sharp needle pointed at my skin (who was a very nice chap, btw) was covered head to foot in the things, including on his face and neck.

              Whilst on holiday I saw an old bloke wearing a t-shirt that had "tattoo and piercing free zone" printed on the front, I don't have tats or a Prince Albert but couldn't help but think he must be a dick to take such an offensive stance.

                And to think that one of the things people that don't have tattoos always say is: "that'll look really stupid when you're older!". Good thing that old chap with the t-shirt managed to avoid looking stupid there.

                  There's another difference. A person without a tattoo can get one quickly and cheaply. A person with a tattoo can only get rid of it (relatively) slowly and expensively.

                  I don't in fact care, though I don't have one myself. I'm amazed how touchy some people with tattoos are when you needle them about it, even faintly suggesting that it's a bit silly. A touch of protesting too much... And then you get some ugly mutt with tattoos that would disgrace a nursery school child's scribbling book, banging on about "body art".

                  Though, admittedly, some tattoos are good enough and original enough to be considered art.

                    It depends on the tattoo and the canvas.

                    Most of them look awful but you get the odd one or two. Blokes can get away with more.

                    Personally i cant think of anything I'd want tattooed on me.
                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                      As long as its meaningful, why not?
