I’m all for freedom of choice and not judging a person by how they look.

A tattoo in a discreet place - the arm, back or wherever, I’m OK with.

But Christ almighty - what is it with people getting tattoos on their faces, necks etc?!

Look at the state of these: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-47029032

That is the question!

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.

I was being a bit extreme there.....I think it is not advisable to get a highly visible tattoo as when the wearer gets tired of it..... then it is difficult, painful and expensive to remove.

Not all are idiots....of course.....just that they have not thought it through enough.

Why Get Tattoos?

People get tattoos for many reasons: for attention, self-expression, artistic freedom, rebellion, a visual display of a personal narrative, reminders of spiritual/cultural traditions, sexual motivation, addiction, identification with a group or even drunken impulsiveness (which is why many tattoo parlors are open late).

And now, according to some research studies, 15-38 percent of Americans have some type of long-term body art. What was once considered self-mutilatory behavior and a psychiatric problem has now become almost normative behavior.

Little tattoo on ankle, I can live with it, but don't like them, but at least it can be ignored if you choose
The blatant big ones in obvious places are horrible.
An AWFUL lot of people going to regret them as they get older, don't need to be the oracle of Delphi to see that coming.

It's noticable that a lot of the 20 something attention seekers who come on TV are covered in them, caught a few seconds of a t@t yesterday with them all up his upper neck. Enjoy that when you're 50 something and all the ink has faded and bled into a fuzzy mess on your wrinkly double chin and you've spent decades with people instantly judging your stupidity...

She's now admitted it was a stunt to publicise her latest single about the former One Direction singer.

I'm an equal opportunites tat hater, I think they are crap on men as well.

The worst kind I think, apart from maybe a face tattoo, is writing on the knuckles. The classic "Love / Hate" type. Preferably done at home with a needle and broken Bic Biro.

I saw a woman on TV the other day with it. Classy it is not.

Virtually guaranteed a jeremey kyle appearance though if you say you have them on the application form!
