Am I the only remaining person in the UK without a tattoo?

I haven't got any. I like to stand out from the crowd!

Good choice, well that's two of us at least. However, someone will be along in a minute claiming to have LLandudno tattooed on their **** no doubt.

I can't see their appeal at all. They look aggressive, like graffiti. Why would you have permanent markings on your body? By the time people are 50+ they will look even more stupid.

Completely hideous and ugly imo!

On a woman...a major turn off, together with multiple piercings and smoking!

I seriously don't get what motivates people to have them....is this a multi national thing, or just another negative
thing in which the Brits are world leaders?

It's a type of self harming.

I wouldn't employ anyone with them.

That was to be my comment moisok....totally agree...

Isn't that Tattooist

Reported

I am told those tattos are known as 'tramp stamps' STUDYFORM.

I think some of them are targets.

I would find them off-putting if I watched that kind of thing.

*and the metal everywhere

No tattoos here either, I find them completely repugnant. No piercings, no jewellery either, I wear a watch and that's it.

No tattoos here

Never appealed to me in the slightest - and don't like to see them on others either, so signed...

Nowt so **** as folk.

(how about that for a tattoo?).

* Alternative five letter word for "strange".

full sleeves hear

None of the people I meet/see in the club/pub I go to have a tattoo, well not visible.
I suppose some might have them covered. Whilst I dislike them I find piercings much more repugnant.

When I ask kids about them, and how they will look in their 50s, the general feeling is
that by then, someone will have invented a painless, clean, removal system.
If someone did invent that it would be more lucrative than Facebook imo.

And what's with them 1" diameter rings used to stretch the earlobes.
They might as well have " My IQ is under 50" tattooed on their foreheads.

Tattoos are a no no for me too. The irony is that people have them to be 'individual'; yet they are the most conformist, sheep following act around today!

Most of them look like a toddlers playgroup has been let loose with a bunch of crayons and the 'artistic merit' of 99% of them is laughable.

A young person I can understand why they get them done as it's 'hip.' But the amount of middle aged mums getting them done in some vain attempt at being relevant is quite alarming.

Modern life: tattoos, social media, professional You Tubers, TOWIE & Big Brother. And they say Aborigines didn't evolve much above a sharpened stick after 2,000 years!

When I ask kids about them, and how they will look in their 50s, the general feeling is

should we be allowing kids to have them in the first place is my question?

if the answer is "no" mad mad moon, surely they shouldn't be offered said consultations in the first place?

I think the term kid is relevant to yer own age.
Some see a kid as 12ish or younger, some call teenagers kids.
If the latter then 'allowing' doesn't come in to it.

No tattoos here.

I like tattoos on women, they are ugly only on men

I was on jury service recently and a female defendant was very proud of
her 'twatoo', we were shown pictures of it!!

charwell's point is excellent!

It's become non conformist to NOT have a tattoo!

None myself but when I lost one of my dogs whilst out on a walk, it was returned by a young fella with tattoos and a number of facial piercings. Refused my offer of a reward saying, just glad to see it reunited with it's owner. What the hell, live and let live.

might as well have mug stamped on forehead

I blame Beckham.

That's a very good shout Ribero.

Rumour has it Facts has "Imigrants welcome" tattooed on his noggin.

When we were kids we used to sport fake tattoos. They were called transfers and lasted until you washed. Can you still get them?
The novelty of having one soon wears off.

I know it's wrong, but I do tend to take a certain view of a person if they have a tattoo.

I rent a shop thats for tattoos they make a bloody mint.
And a huge huge proportion of their regular customers are not employed.

I rent it to them, sorry just woke from a nap.

Best one I saw on the internet was 'Love Concurs All'.

Is this thread the only remaining place in the UK which refers to tatts as 'tattoos'?

LOL OMG loosers, etc.

Hope you haven't got a tattoo with the spelling loosers........

I would of, but me mam wouldn't let me.

I find women with tattoos incredibly attractive.

It shows they make rash decisions that they are likely to regret later.

I have a Chelsea tattoo but of course if I supported and sh1t football club I wouldn't bother either !!!!!!!!

Yeah there will be some right babes sitting in old people's homes in 50 or 60 years time

branding is for sheep, behehehhehehehehehhehehehhhhh

back in the day, tats were worn by bikers, heavy rock stars, roadies, and general hard nuts. I've no problem with that generation.
But all the sheep now doing it because everyone else is doing it, the irony is hilarious.

tats on women are 90% just as bad and used to be a big turn off for me, until I saw one on a lady's thigh - I changed my mind
all about location

Check out the guy on "Extreme Cake Makers" now.......

When I was young you used to get them with chewing gum.
Wet the transfer sheet and hold firmly in place.
Dabs or something like that they were called.
The most popular one was a skull and crossbones.

Tattoos -the stigmata of chavvery. Repulsive.

dabetties (or dabittys) they were called, Aka. remember them well. [:smile:]

Beam me up snotty !

Some bloke had L O V E and H A T E on his knuckles.

One day he had an accident at work and lost a finger..

L O V E   H A T

Dabetties. That's right Plat I remember it now.
Skull and crossbones on the arm and a sweetie cig hanging out the side of the mouth.
We were right hard looking in our primary  schools in those days.

and don't forget your raspberry flavoured kwenchy kup or jubilee ice drink

A frozen Jubilee was the nuts.
I still buy the kwenchy Kups from time to time.
24 pack of Raspberry and Orange. They were great frozen as well.

Wow, my posts must be REALLY worrying and meaningful to be removed from this thread!!!!!!

Is that right?
Maybe something in the utube claim.

Tatt free zone here too.

when they were the best team in the country in the 70s a chap near me had LEEDS tattooed on his forehead, think he regrets it now.

lol

full stop on each knuckle

only FreeMasons know oh and facts

None here either, got 2 lads aged 38 and 40 who have none either, although their mates have plenty.

I had a mate who was in the navy for years who had an anchor 'tat' on his forearm with a scroll 'I DON'T MIND YOUR SKINNY LEGS I'M A SAILOR'

The only one I've ever liked, always made me chuckle for some reason.

none myself.

tnuc would look quite good on your forehead mustang

Cheers Chavvers.

No Tattoo's on me, no point with arms full of freckles. Irish Genes for you.

Never had a tattoo, and never will!

Don't have any myself, never seen the point.

My son has a few but gets away with it because he's a young good looking guy who's the lead singer in a band.

My 2 daughters don't have any that I'm aware of.

Worryingly my wife keeps banging on about getting one. Mid life crisis?

If she gets one, I may divorce her and join elitesingles.co.uk...if such a site exists.

Sheldon: Why do you have the Chinese character for "soup" tattooed on your right buttock?
Penny: It's not "soup", it's "courage".
Sheldon: No it isn't. But I suppose it does take courage to demonstrate that kind of commitment to soup.

Don't have any.

Know loads of people who do, but its their life, so what am I to say.

One aspect I don't understand at all, is a black/blue tat, on someone with dark skin. Can't even see what it is properly. So what's the point !!

If you have a darker completion they look ok but if you have pasty white skin you either look like a goth or a full on chav.

can be very beautiful on blonde women with fair skin

People with them on the back for instance, what's the point, if I bought a painting & hung it in my front room window for anyone walking past to see it but was obviously out of sight for me that would be stupid, wouldn't it

I've not got any, but you can't judge a book etc. Loads of good people with tatoos, including the lovely forumite, Zelda, many years ago.

None. In my youth only criminals and seamen had tattoos. Mostly anchors and 'mum'. I guess we've got a lot more criminals these days, because we have a lot less seamen.

What you have to remember is tattoos and piercings violate your immune system. Particulates from tattoo ink will knock a couple of years off your life if you're a heavy user. I'm a doctor. Trust me.

Amazing really, the simple conclusion is, people who bet, don't have tattoos.

Tough choice in fairness; an ante post yankee at Cheltenham or a Chinese motif on your ar$e cheek which states that you love chutneys and ferrets.

dont buy work ,so keep out of DIY shops

don't buy pain so keep out of the gym and tattoo parlour

simples

Have none and will go to the grave as such..some peoples, especially my generations are absolutely apalling and look ridiculous..some modern ones are ok but even good artwork doesnt mean it suits a person but everyone to their own
I only ever seriously considered getting 1 once..naming some gfriend i had when i was 17..needless to say we split 5 minutes later and i saw her a few months back...the only ex gfriend to be visable from space...sheesh dodged a bullet there

pumphol - bullseye.

Sums up the tattoo brigade.. Nice but dim.

Was having a look on the net for crazy tattoos.
Seemingly quite a few have dotted lines on their throats with 'cut here' in the middle.
That's beyond stupidity.

"But I asked for a discreet tattoo!"
"Sorry, mate. Thought you meant a discrete one."

Do you remember when Stuart Pearce was the only footballer who had tattoo's?  That's because he had a trade and is a punk rocker.  I challenge anyone to find a photo of a footballer with visible tatts from the 90's.  As already stated, it's Beckhams fault.

why do women and some men even have them above/on their chest,look bloody awful even when they young.
