Tattoos. Cool or not?

[-DeaDLocK-]

Thinking of getting a 3-inch Celtic design on the back of my shoulder. Kinda always wanted one, but never got round to it.

Do you have one? Did it hurt? Was it worth it? Regrets?

I never see myself regretting it, but I guess you never know.

Never seen the point in getting tattoed somewhere you can't see it; be a bit like buying a painting and hanging it facing the wall.

Thought about having a tattoo of a Penis done on my forehead,


reckoned it would make me look like a bit of a dkhead though.

Yes. Yes. Yes. No.

Not so much where you can't see it, but where you can selectively show it. Sometimes they're inappropriate and can lead to incorrect character inferences, which is when it's best left covered.

The location I'm thinking will be visible when I go sleeveless.

We've been here before.

Think what you'll feel like....

(a) When they're out of fashion and the next generation just takes the piss....

(b) When you're old and wrinkly and look like an old parchment map....

Would you condemn yourself to wearing kipper ties and flared trousers for the rest of your life....?

Football clubs, dragons, brand logos, random Chinese symbols and a few other clichéd bits of tat aside, I think they're very cool.

I really believe that if you're going to get one, it should hold some kind of personal significance though.

Not cool.

Wrinkly tattoos on old men =

Since when did anyone care what the next generation thought? (See Clarkson on Popular music today).

When you're old and wrinkly you won't be worth looking at anyway!

Got one, didn't hurt much - can't remember so can't be that bad. Their worth it, but don't get them wet for a few weeks - it'll fade.
And they are addictive..

Was once informed by a Client of mine (Inspector in Police Force) that the BiB refer to tattoos as bar codes for criminals.

Wouldnt go there Im afraid.

Oi...old wrinkly duffer.....you look like a tt....

No, suppose you're right, it doesn't matter.....

If you want to know if it hurts or not, get a needle and prick yourself a thousand times wherever you want the tattoo to be.

But just because you get old and wrinkly, doesn't mean to say you don't fancy people. Or get fancied. Does it? - if I'm wrong, then I shall just have to die young!

When I'm old and wrinkly, tats will still turn me off.

Walking out of the shop after my first one, I was planning my next one..

It's been about 4 years since my last one and I have a serious yearning for ink at the moment...

Something extra will be adorning my skin soon..

btw, I can hide or show all (well most) of my tattoos, and honestly couldn't give a monkeys what anyone else thinks about them... they're for me...

Like Beckham's new one, translated from some strange language as....

I am for my beloved

and my beloved is for me

who grazes sheep in rose-like pastures.....

Personal significance being something about his....errr.....affection for four-legged wooly things.

Probably......

Mrs Vitesse has a Celtic ring on one shoulder and drew up her own design of a cherrub with a revolver and an oozy on the oppossite shoulder blade.

She chose those areas as there won't be any wrinkle problems later on in life, and they have been well thought out and very well done.

Be Very careful to go somewhere decent even if it does mean going further for it. Make sure you see some evidence of the work that has been done, not just tracing guides of what they 'can' do.

If you're anywhere near London, I believe 'Evil From The Needle' is a really good place. There used to be a chap called 'Bugs' there who was very good.

If you want some more info then drop us an email and i'll pump Mrs Vitesse for it

Nice Girlies with a Tatoo on their lower backs gives you something to aim for.
