I hadn't seen any pics of the delectable Beckham until I saw this article; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...chest--it.html now obviously Becs is a little bit hot, (until he opens his mouth and he has peaked a few years ago but still gets a few points) but I'm not sure about the full arms and back covered in tats, the odd one or two I think can be quite nice on a man with big muscles as long as they aren't something cliche but whole arms? The female equivalent would be Amy Whitehouse I guess ok she isn't exactly a sex symbol but seems more and more people are getting them. So do we like tats? On boys and what about on girlies? Its all fine when you're in your prime with no flabby bits, but what happens with age? hmm Im not sure.

I feinted having my ears pierced so would never be an option for me but Im just interested in what people think- personal art, fashion statement or big mistake?

I too wonder how well tattoos age.

I actually quite like them, but in moderation. I've seen a few blokes who look like they're wearing long-sleeved tops, such is the extent and density of the ink!

I also think that "one" should think carefully about placement so that the person always has the option to show them or hide them away... mainly because there are certain situations where they aren't appropriate or give the wrong impression. Like it or not, people will judge on how you look.

Tramp stamps? In order of importance:

1 - no.
2 - not at all.
3 - never under any circumstances.

Also...........

a) they're not sexy
b) they ARE dangerous

Otherwise OK.

I've got one, top of my arm, had it for over 15 years and still love it, would like another one day but you need to pick the right one and be sure you want it.

Aging tattos will be so funny over time.

Imagine 50 years from now... all those old dears in the nursing home having their arses wiped with pictures of wings just above their ass, or grannies with screwed up butterflies on her ankles.
