Now now, I would have to self identify as an ill educated sponger for that to be the case.
Also, what is this Megaluf you speak of?

Another win for my tattoos, in their role as a geebag-repelling adornment.

So does smoking, drinking, eating meat, eating veg, eating fish, driving, sitting on the couch, sitting in the office, yoga, stress from paying a mortgage, cycling, pretty much any sport that bears any risk of injury. Your point is?

Tattoos are completely avoidable, unlike sitting down etc. Unless of course if you don't get tattooed the consequences are worse, e.g. In a criminal gang or prison gang.

What if the pleasure one gets from getting a tattoo > than the opportunity cost of the stress they would derive from a lack of self expression meaning the net result is greater general happiness?

I'm shagged if they are bad for you, but i've tattoo's for the last 33 years (got first when I was 15) and I've had now issues, and back then, everybody used the same needle, it was just dipped in disinfectant

Whatever floats your boat.
Would one get stressed if they couldn't express themselves through a tattoo?
There are many ways to express yourself, all equally valid.
Maybe you are right.

They might, they might not. We are all different

Muppet on x factor now with a butterfly tattooed on his throat......should be slapped with a stocking full of ****e lol lol

Only thing that annoys me now is that a Tattoo I got in 1985 for 8 pound would cost you €740 today, now I kind of understand inflation but that doesn't work out in my head

Looks cool now. Old and wrinkly in 30/40 years time.
Don't see the point of them

LirW · 16-09-2017 9:12pm

In 40 years I'm gonna be old and wrinkly anyway.

I used hate tattoos but I warmed to them a lot but whenever I see something like this it really turns me off them!

A new study has revealed that toxic tattoo ink can seep into the body and may have an adverse effect on health.

Tattoos, once the preserve of marginal groups [...]

To be fair, this was certainly the case in the U.S., until about twenty years ago. They're still frowned upon in certain quarters even today.

I reckon people make a mark on their skin when they can no longer make a mark on their lives.

I'm surprised to see so many for whom tattoos do nothing. Last time this thread was done it was the complete opposite.

As I've said, I personally don't like or see the appeal of them. Expressing your individuality by doing exactly the same thing as most of your friends makes no sense to me and most tattoos I've seen look awful now, never mind in 30 years time. Some go way too far with them and destroy themselves with full length arm tattoos, upper chest and everywhere else.

Also, like it or not, other people will form opinions of you based on them especially in the workplace.

But hey, each to their own. I just don't get the appeal of drawing on yourself.

Tattoos may damage your health.
