"Do you have any tatts TD?"

"No" I reply.

Well that's good as you would have had to pay another £100 for the additional blood test.:ohmy:

Clean as a whistle me.

Call me old fashioned and boring but I think tattoos are ugly and trashy, especially on girls, even worse on mature women. Men OK, only if they have one big one that can be covered and is artistically done by a top artist, not a series of ‘stickers’ all over the body.

Take Angelina Jolie, for example. Undeniably stunning, but even on the red carpet, flawless make up and designer gown she still looks like she need a good scrub in bleach from all those tatts. Amy Winehouse, say no more.

Have you seen all those 40 + women in shopping centers displaying their ‘art’ on their flabby arms? Not a good look. Old men with ‘Born to be Wild’ etched on their legs while waiting for their arthritis prescription in the chemist. Wild indeed.

My artistic tastes change and develop as I get older. Probably would of got a Micky Mouse tatt in my teens – lovely. :o

I blame Miami Ink. :rofl:

Yet to meet anyone who has owned a tattoo for 10 years or more who still loves it as the day the got it done. :p There's always something they'd change; design, colour, size.

Tattoos are very fashionable right now and a huge money spinner for the industry. I predict in perhaps 5 - 10 years time, they will be less trendy and folks will be spending $$$ to get them removed. Time to buy shares in Laser Removal Companies me thinks. :rofl:

I've had 'one' of mine for years ...

Love it like the moment I left the shop.

It's personal preference. I think tatts on birds are soooooo sexy if done right ;)

Next up that swallow on my neck ...

Obviously, you have a Chav taste in 'birds' (charming expression :mad:. says it all), not so sexy on women at 50, 60 :thumbdown:

So anyone with a tattoo is automatically labelled a chav?

A tad judgemental :blink:

Will redo it and do want another one (agree they can be addictive)

I think 'A tad judgemental' is being very kind.
I would have gone for,extremely judgemental and self-opinionated.
