Remember one time I was in Kilkenny, standing at bar waiting to order. Fella next to me asked if I'd seen the hurling, no I wouldn't fellow it I said to him. I've never had someone look at me with such disgust. They treat it like a religion

There was a guy on boards (can't recall if it was this thread or not) who was offended that I had never heard of one of the Dublin footballers. He actually said I was lying and that everyone had heard of him

I think there will come a time down the line when having a tattoo might not be so cool.
Coming up with a way to get rid of them could be a major money spinner.

Tattoo's are for people who like to stand out but lack the talent to do so.

Toilets, public and work ones! Why are people like animals in them, peeing on the floor, on the seat or spraying their poo all over the toilet instead of in it? Most times they don’t even flush, just leave it there for some poor bastard to clean up after them. Wonder would they get away with doing that at home?

Think how those tatts will look on their saggy skin when they’re elderly!

There are many many people with small hidden tattoos so that is not at all true

They are animals so once fed, watered and treated well that’s ok as far as I’m concerned. People are treating dogs like people imo and they are not they are animals, like having dogs living in the house rather than outside like they always have or even more insanely having a dog sleeping on their bed. That’s worthy of a mental health check imo.

I hope that you are just trolling, if not please don't ever get an animal of any kind. I find your kind of attitude to animals quite unsettling and if any one is in need of a mental health check you should take a look in the mirror.

I have a tattoo, just the one, that can't be seen. Means a lot to me but a very few people know I have it. So you're half wrong. A lot of people do get tattoos for the wrong reason true.

I work with a lot of fellas and they can't even flush the fecking toilet. Turning the tap off is a foreign concept to them.

The moving of a clearly light-hearted AH-type thread to sex and sexuality forum, which I don't even have access to. FFS lads. Ye wouldn't be as quick to get rid of racist posts.

We have a fella in our place who forgets to come out, sitting on the loo yapping away on his phone, we can all hear the conversations, he usually comes out and says "I wouldn't go in there for a while". He seems to take a crap at least 3 times a day, that's not normal.

Hes probably not crapping at all. Using it as a break.

Who cares.I will be old and saggy and still love my tattoos.And have something to look at.:D

Widdershins · 01-03-2020 06:08PM

A well designed tattoo compliments the skin and the person. Very few I've seen in photos/tv are well designed but there's exceptions...I'd like a lacy garter tattoo. I had a necklace (ribbon, locket and an ivy vine) done a few months ago but kept having rashy breakouts on my upper chest

I keep it covered with Mac Face & Body.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though.Art is subjective.

Yep, just my opinion but I do have a good eye for form and colour. As long as they like it themselves, that's the important thing.

I never worried what others thought of my tattoos. Each one is a custom piece reflecting moments of my life over the years. For me, my life story is on my skin,heh.

Ye me too,though some are just flash i liked.They dont all have meaning.

What I don't get, is when someone decides to get a tattoo, but doesn't get the spelling or punctuation or translation correct.

Jeez, you're getting something permanent on your skin, the least you can do, is research it properly.

Or...

Sorry to tell you but I’ve a full farm of animals, they all have excellent lives.

I don’t know how you are concluding that I don’t know how to treat animals from my post? Disagreeing having dogs in the house or even worse in your bed is a very normal view point. We always had happy cats and dogs around home but they were even so much as let look in the door of the house, they had sheds or kennels etc to shelter of course though.

Apparently you shouldn’t leave your cat out as they kill rare birds and spread diseases

The cats were really just for vermin controls etc in the farm yard so not much good if they were locked up. They do spread diseases though but since most farms have cats around the yard it’s really a case if you might as well too. We don’t have any now, don’t particularly like cats and between laying poison and neighbouring cats coming around it keeps things under control vermin wise.

My personal opinion is that cars and dogs should be neutered.
Not pleasant for the poor animal but a necessary evil IMO

I don't get grown adults who don't wash their hands after going to the toilet..

Lad at work, embodiment of Barney Gumble, straight out of the trap and straight out the door.

Every single time. And he looks at everyone else washing their hands at the basins. Not even a hesitation. Straight for the door.

Reason why I open all handles at work with my sleeve

Small tattoo,s are ok,if they are discreet . i think large tattoo,s that cover part of the arm
are awful.large tattoo,s =low class chav .males that have large face tattoo,s
,well i think they are low level criminal,s or psychopaths .
if you are in professional rock band or a heavy metal band then maybe theres an excuse, eg having a tattoo is just part of the image.
In general large tattoo =small brain .
i,m not saying there are not nice looking tattoo,s or tattoo,s that can look
good,if its a good design and in a place where its not too obvious.
i understand some in countrys like new zealand tattoo,s are part of the native culture .
theres a presenter on fox news ,he says he never wash,s his hands,
as he does not believe in bacteria .
i have not seen 1 person with large arm tattoo,s and thought that looks
nice or artistic .

Trying to read this is just painful

I've designed quite a few tattoos for friends and family, as I'm very good at art and drawing...

But I would never get a tattoo myself. I think they look awful.

And I have also read a few very worrying medical articles, suggesting that tattoos might significantly increase your risk for certain types of cancers throughout your life. That's enough for me to give them a miss, even if I did actually like them... not worth it.

Yeah, riclad should lay off the Return key after every sentence and use paragraphs instead.

It's like bad poetry as it is, and not read by me anyway.

Sorry riclad, it had to be said.
