    Was in Cork City recently - a great city, with a great respect for culture and art.

    But - in the swimming pool at the 4 star hotel , I was shocked at the poor standard of body art ! , mostly on bodies of locals.

    Was thinking - if there is such a great tradition with art in the city - why the body art was so poor ?

    Anyway - is it time , like the Sun bed issue , we started controlling silly decisions of the youth ?

    How do you know they were locals or got the tattoos as youths. Stupid post. Furthermore what's culture got to do with people's bodies.

    So everyone in the pool was talking? A youth would be a 18/19 yo not a 39 year old. I'm sorry but you sound snobbish. I don't like tacky tattoos either but that's people's own choice. And if they work and can afford a hotel then they deserve the right to swim there.

    No - there was a gym connected - River Lee hotel , so locals mixed with the hotel people.

    Are people saying 5 star hotels have better tattoos ?

    But should "Young adults" be protected from themselves ?

    You can have a swastika on your face and swim in Fota if you have the money.

    I think tattoos have become more popular, like years ago only sailors or convicts had them. It's not class division anymore.Are you by any chance over 50?

    Yes - but , I'm asking , are tattoos ultimately, the modern definition of class ?

    Yes - sticking a person in a class is sick - but is that a truth behind the fake façade.

    I agree , it is like the star of David branding.

    You have to laugh at someone going to Cork and judging others decisions.

    OP you may not like to their tattoos but they do. I've got no tattoos myself but I wouldn't judge what other people have on their bodies.

    I'm from Cork and there are a lot of knackers in this city. But tattoos are not defined as classless anymore as they are more mainstream and modernly stylish. Someone with ink is not seen as lower class whereas before they would have been.

    look - I like to go places and get in at the deep end of the pool at a 4 star hotel and mix with the locals.

    But - I just felt the locals , seemed to be a little misguided ,

    Like they seen Roy Keane - against Holland , and that made it ok :eek:

    No - s**t -- is s**t,

    How is that a known fact? A lot of people get tattoos with their kids name or family member who died.

    If it was a 'known fact' then we wouldn't be asking if people knew cos we would already know therefore it is not known.

    Yes , but that is not the point.

    Your pulling an emotion card.

    I'm saying ban them.
