    If our deed has not been sufficient to win freedom, then our children will win by a better deed.

    An image of the fighting Irishman with a caption underneath reading "Come out ye black and tans," the proclamation of independence tattooed across his back and a few "Michael Collins 32's" or "Bobby Sands 1916's" here and there for good measure.

    ...

    Seriously, there's no way you can do this that won't turn out horrible. Is your friend aware of the type of people who generally get these things?

    A full Irish with a few cuts of buttered soda bread and mug of tae.

    As opposed to a full English.

    I was going to suggest a quote from bobby sands or other well known republicans but cant see him sticking this on it. Was even thinking of a small celtic cross or even a harp but dont think that would be classed as something associated with our struggles. Any idea folks

    There is a lot less cleavage on display there than the average work blouse

    Let's be honest here - ANY tattoo he gets of this subject matter will be shiter than shite.

    Yeah, but I like boob cleavage (despite being straight). It tends to be less hairy. :(

    What about a Celtic team photo but with all of the players faces replaced with people like Bobby Sands, Michael Collins, Wolfe Tone etc? It could be like the Irish spastic version of Sgt Pepper.

    Unless he has relatively big, muscular arms he is just going to look stupid or like a skanger, as is the case with most men who have sleeve tattoos.

    How about the apology the IRA never issued to the parents of the kids they murdered in Warrington, or the families of the two Australian tourists they murdered in Germany, or perhaps the excuses they gave for not handing over the bodies of the innocents they "sissappeared"?

    A mate of mine has a pretty cool tat on his back, basically its a claw that looks like its ripping off a piece of skin and underneath the skin is a tricolour.
    So he's showing that no matter what is Irish underneath

    Personally, I find that having an Irish accent gives away the fact that I'm Irish, without tattooing it on my body.


    Tbh though, I have a tattoo written in Irish. :pac:

    Either a shamrock with wording 'im irish as a shamrock' underneath or a large picture of the Rock of Cashel on your back with the wording 'Queens visit - Rock of Cashel 2011'.
