When I was young kid my old man made the decision for me. I could get any tattoo I wanted. But I had to remember to pack my suitcase first.<laugh>

My old man was the same, I hated him for it at the time but can't thank him enough for stopping me now, I dread to think what awful tattoos I'd have to put up with these days if I got my own way!
 
Wait a few years and they'll all be bleating about getting them removed for free on the NHS.

Can you imagine how hideous some of these women are going to look in later life with these **** tattoos.

There are people out there, honestly, who think people become more sexually desirable if they have tattoos.

Like, they wouldn't look at them twice without them, but now they have a sleeve or something, or something on their thigh, it's game on.

You have to question the mentality.

Saw The Biscuits last Friday night. Absolutely peerless.

Two fifty something blokes fighting in the mosh-pit was also one of the funniest things I've seen this year too.

I was listening to some of their stuff for the first time in my life the other day, quite funny. I will have to dig in more.

I went to see The Fall on Saturday, lots of sweaty 50-something men moshing there too. No fighting though.

I was brought up to believe that you could only have tats if you 'earned' the right by having served in the navy/armed forces or worked on the trawlers or Hull fair/ gipsy. Glad I never got one now looking at the ****ing idiot snowflakes who are covered in them for no ****ing reason other than 'look at me i'm cool'. Oh no you're ****ing not.
 
I have a tiger tattoo on my upper arm, I want something else on my other arm, but really can't find anything that I like. Thinking about the 3D ones you can get, but still looking!
No one should get one just because everyone else has one & no one shouldn't get one just because everyone tells them it's stupid. It's an individual thing that each person should choose.
I really hate the look of the branded tattoos where they are raised up, not a fan of Chinese writing as I'd never trust anyone with what they were writing & also not a fan of tribal ones either. But if people want them then it's up to them. Funnily enough, today I saw a guy walking through Salford with tattoos on his face, stereotypically he was walking his pit bull.
I love a good tattoo & some are amazing works of art.

Not strictly true.
Seamen often had them done as identifying marks, as they were more durable than paper passports when a ship goes down and bodies need to be identified.
People also often got them done to 'bond' with like-minded mates, or as family tradition.
Now most people get them as a sort of graft-on personality transplant. The bigger the tat, the bigger the twat is a rough rule of thumb.

hull had its very own fisherman tattoo in the 60s.....it was/is king cod........got no pic of it but lotsa kids had it in the 60s/70s.
anyone got one or a pic of KING COD
 
I have two, one on the inner side of my right forearm and the other on the inner side of my left forearm.

I quite like the Norse artwork found on Viking Age runestones and longship engravings and I have a book on Norse art from the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th centuries that I bought when I did a History project at Sixth Form. I think they'd look good as tattoos and would be a good alternative to white Northern Europeans getting Maori tribal tattoos. It was customary for both men and women in pre-Christian Europe, especially Celts, Germanic groups and Slavs, to tattoo themselves so it's hardly a new fad.

Plus, I really have a thing for fit lasses with tattoos ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I recall the game well. Rumours abound that we'd gone down (or were going down).

Still got the shirt somewhere - battered to **** though so can't imagine it'd be worth much.
