Those of you who don't like tatts, can I ask why?

This is not like other fads or fashions, it is more or less permanant disfigurement, removal is not easy and often not 100%.

4 years isn't long really Brightness, if you like it and its discreet thats up to you. It is the ones on view, girl/boyfriends names etc, that are the worst.

Why would a young lady want such a naff thing on her body anyway? they are tacky, cheap, and in some instances downright repulsive.
 
My tattoo isn't tacky or repulsive (if you find it so, you don't have to look ;) , it certainly wasn't cheap either! Oh yeah, and I'm not a young lady either - even though a rather nice policeman insisted I was the other day - even though his female partner laughed when I told him that I thought it was an offence to be drunk on duty :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Would you like to see a picture of it?

Keyplayer, methinks you need your legs slapped :evil:
 
I like a nice placed dinky one..maybe a motive or a little symbol..nothing wrong with that..a rose on the shoulder or hip or..well you know.. ;)

But an armfull of dirty black tribal scribble ...all in the name of looking hard.........no thanks.

Or chinese symbols... whats that all about?..given your average shaven headed tattooists grasp of manderin theres probably hundreds of people walking around with beef satay, crispy noodles, and a portion of chips written on the backs!

Yes, like Beckhams back declares to the world his love for - five spice!!!
 
Thank you for your comments. Number 1 it is then. (Thankfully it was my chosen one also).

Some points:

It will be going on my left upper arm, above another one I have, opposite another one I have.

Tattoos done properly in the first place and in a certain style, and looked after properly will not go mushy after so many years.

Someone needs to spell 'Mandarin' properly. Someone needs to know what Maori designs look like and what Celtic designs look like.

The reasons people have tattoos are wide and varied. Personally, I don't need to justify it to anyone, despite them trying to make me justify it. *yawns*

What you're having done looks more Celtic to me than Maori btw - am I right?

do them in a sort of faded green colour and then wrinkle the paper up and smudge the edges of them........then well know what theyll look like in about 10 years time! :LOL:
:LOL: more like 20 yrs..and then you have them tidied up/covered.....a tat is for life, not just Christmas........and lampshades after life :eek: If I was Welsh...I`d have LLandudno tattoed somewhere that made it spell LUDO some of the time :eek: :LOL:
 
One point about tattoos, green is the only colour that cannot be removed at a later date if you don't like finished artwork ;)

Did anyone see the guy in the paper last week, he went to a tattooist in the Falkland Islands and asked the guy to tattoo ENGLAND on his back. The guy tattooed ARGENTINA on there instead :eek:

I'd have sued the pants off him!

Which do you prefer, if any? I have tried to design my own. Thanks for any comments.
Err - none of them.

They all look like sawblades with a doily in the middle.
 
*is glad that ban doesn't design power tools for a living...* :LOL:

Anyway, can't say I'm overly keen on any of them either tbh
