My new tatoo

[jeromeo]

Good on you sir.
Very brave for posting up.
Makes me want to do something a bit crazy.

Come on guys, he's taken a fair bit of flak now and he's still happy with it so perhaps just let it go... it's his arm and he's happy so can't we be happy for him :)

Yep apologies Andrew, each to his own, It not just your tattoo that I don't like its all tattoo's, so I'm a little biased. Although that one of Sir Bobby on that guys leg was a work of art. :wink:

Is this Tattoo thing just you trying to fit in been a "bouncer" ? What next a "Look at my ugly Pitbull" thread etc?

Something not making sense with all this " Army,bouncer " thread stuff. Do you need to create some sort of "hard man " image ?

Or he's just one of the millions of people out there who like tattoos? They ain't for me, but we'd have an awful lot of wanna-be doormen if that was the only reason for getting one...

[quote="swanbourne"]One of the things that put me off getting a tattoo is "Police are searching for a man with a tattoo of the grim reaper on his shoulder".

for placing his penis inside a paper bag full of plums and and standing outside the school gates at home time and offering them out asking the kids to "pick a big un! "

Just listening to "Don't fear the Reaper" Blue Oyster Cult on radio 2.

One of my all time favourite songs, the wife has been instructed to make sure that it's played at my funeral........................ you know you're becoming an old fart when your favourite songs are regularly played on radio 2 :twisted:

As for tattos, you can keep em, they may look OK on the young, but they look terrible the older you (and they) get. Take a good look around you next time your on a beach somewhere.

The whole friends' names thing is a bit weird, but as long as you and your friends are happy with it, fair enough I suppose :?

I think you will find those friends are actually dead, hence going on the list... I recall Andrew mentioning somewhere about loosing some friends not that long aog.

Don't think they are to be honest,as they think it would be cool to be on the list.
Cant wait for the finished job though! :lol:

Car tattoos - very unusual! Any photos? :)

[thorpey69]

Not as yet still healing,i fancied something different from the norm and as im a petrol head and will be until the day i die,i thought what better way to decorate myself,i mean some people have posters on there garage wall :D

[Scottishtrunkmonkey]

As the artist that covered up my first one with my last one said in realtion to the first one, 'Dude, that's one bad tattoo!'

But you like it so that ROCKS!!!! :D

[dawson2k5]

Still loving it despite the negativity :D which at the end of the day is what it is all about, if i'd asked for you guys opinion before hand then it would have already been a mistake, i asked no-one about it and decided myself :-) no "peer" pressure, no trying to look like a hardman, just a plain old case of wanting something and getting it, sod the consequences and sod the opinions of others, but thanks for the comments :-) the tattoo is unfinished, so still needs some work, when it's done it should look even better, we'll see come sunday :-)
Thanks,
Andrew

[dogpuf]

I like the Tattoo design but I don't like Tattoo's - too permanent

At least you haven't had Charlie Uniform November Tango across your forehead

[gunslinger]

Mmm tattoos again eh. I like em but it's all down to taste. Your grim reaper is a bit, well, grim for me. But I'm glad that your happy with it.

Gives me another chance to show my firebird tattoo painting off.

There was plenty of silly silly tattoos getting done whilst I was in Thailand the best one was a guy that had a Singha bottle tattoed on his shoulder. Ridiculous to say the least but we all laughed the next day.

Fair play mate hope you live with it and are happy

Careful :wink:

Personally not keen on tattoos at all; however I thought it worth posting that our policy at work is "no visible tattoos" (in case it freaks out the customers) however there is an exception for "service tattoos" for some reason.

I can only see this getting more lax over the years as tattoos become more commonplace, so it may not be anathema to employers as it once was.

Good to see you back posting Andrew.

Let's see the finished article on Sunday then - and as you say, sod the the opinions; it is what pleases you that matters most.

:shock: thats pretty hard core... hope you still like it in 40 years time!!

hahahah

[rincewind]

I'm a fan of tattoos and the design, although not my cup of tea, is not bad, but i've gotta say that if that guy had scrawled that on my arm he'd be hanging off the wear bridge by now!! Always choose your artist very very carefully and if possible try to go with someone who specialises in the style you want. That way you get a piece of art rather than badly coloured scribble. I'm keen to see the finished result though :)

True, but when you're older and you decide that an Athena poster of a topless bird draped over a Countach isn't your thing anymore you can take it down... :D
