How about three ickle care worn teddy bears holding hands instead? At least that would be original.

Fairly chavy, anything like stars or Chinese symbols....

Not chavvy I reckon just look a bit crap aesthetically.
Go for three Star of Davids - that'll confuse people

WGAS if they are chavvy/tacky/common.......
...if you like them, and you want a(nother) tattoo, get them done. No other reason is necessary
(btw, I don't think they are chavvy, stars nearly always look great - no matter how many I see)

Tattoos are a deeply personal expression of character and individuality* so what anyone else might think is irrelevant.
*which is why I have none

All tattoos are chavvy!
No point in having them at all. It's like wearing the same clothes for the rest of your life is it not?
(IMHO of course)

I have a freehand drawn star (with custom shading - My tatoo'ist had a new toy to play with!) on each of my inner biceps/elbows.
Im no CHAV!

Teribly chavvy, yes.
What I fail to understand is the reasoning behind the trend for mass market tattoos. Why do people do it, what does the image mean to them, what is the appeal? You've got to want to live with them for a loooong time, so shouldn't they say something about you as an individual? Or is it just that you find the aesthetics pleasing and don't mind looking like a million others?
Some body art is amazing but the stuff you pick out of a catalogue at the tattoo parlour, to me, displays a lack of thought and individuality..
Sorry to be so serious.

perhaps you failed to realise that we're all individuals ??

plenty of people I know have tattoos (art school, innit) and I'd say most of them aren't chavy at all. might agree on the slight 'emo-ness' though..
Girl I know has three star cut-outs on the inside of her wrist and it's actually quite pretty - as I personally like simple, single-colour patterns

Do you remember having high waisted baggy trousers and platform shoes.
I do, but fortunately don't still have to wear em

did that lady's stickling individuality demand that two of the stars be removed because they were in the wrong places ?

ALL tattoos are chavvy. The end.

If you want them go for them. Havign to ask a bike forum would suggest to me maybe you are not convinced yourself.
Although I prefer custom tats I haven't got a problem with stock designs, it is much the same as buying a print of a piece of art or whatever. Infact a classy stock tat might end up looking better than a badly designed custom one.
At the end of the day it is your body, you decide!

If you are thinking this already swisstony,
Then what are the chances you might regret having this tattoo done some time in the future?
Posted 1 year ago # -
dont understand why, but common as muck over the last few years.
as tats are permanent, they should have some relevance/meaning to the individual imo.
while im sure mine is unique, i really dont recommend anyone gets inked by a fugitive drug dealer with a short temper and low stress threshold.

I thought star tatoo on the inside of thw rist signalled you were a lady who lieks ladies.
Have I imagined this?

Those stars set off sovereign rings and chub chains perfectly. Not chav in the slightest.
Are you a big fan of illegal dog breeds?

There is some validity in that idea though, in order to see how you get on with them, maybe henna or something first?

ourmaninthenorth, that could be true, my pet lezza has three inside forearm

stars - not necessarily chavvy but just a bit common in the sense that there are a lot of them about.

I did too, I think the origin of this is that sailors had star tatoos to thank the stars guiding them. Then all sailor stuff became a bit village people?
There are a few articles online that agree.
Maybe boys who like boys as well, but I guess only if thats how you mean it. How many people with swallow tattoos have done time?

I have a star on the inside of my right wrist, over the last few years I've started to see more and more people with similar tattoos, so they seem to be very common now. No regrets about getting it done, but I probably wouldn't have the same tattoo if I were getting it done now.

It's all a matter of personal taste in the end though isn't it and what you think about what other people might think of you.
Personally, although some tats are quite arty it's not for me. At all. Ever. Because it has become so common place a lot of them now do look pretty chavvy. Heaven knows what's got into Becks head as well - he looks a right **** these days!
And the same goes for body piercings (earings aside). I just don't get it and think they look awful. But all IMHO.

I hope star tattoos arnt chavy I have 3 stars at the base of my back. Thick outlines in a v formation. Tattoo artist said he hadnt done one like that before which is good enough for me.

I've never understood the point of tattoos at all.
What is the logic behind having a(n often prominent), permanent and deteriorating mark placed deliberately on your body? We all change our opinions, our hairstyle, clothes, cars, furniture etc. throughout our life. Why burden yourself with a permanent tattoo, especially if you suspect that it might be chavvy?
Will you still love it when it is a green, amorphous blob or a painfully-lasered pale patch in a few years' time?
Each to their own and all that, but why? I once read that a fifth of the population had at least one.

earings are ok, nose stud is not? good luck with that.
