It would be a tragedy to deface it with some hackneyed clip-art.
You are aware that not all tattoos are clip art, aren't you?
I've [s]designed[/s] photocopied several things so far today and it's only just afternoon brew time.

Durrr... Of course... Some are bespoke, designed and displayed by jeniuses...

hell-bent on confrontation.
We cannot all be the bringers of peace and harmony that you are 😛
just summon up the courage to get one done yourself
**** written across his face so that its not just those of us on the internet who know 😉
FWIW just sat here reading this months Skin Deep
there really are some good tats out there as well as some bad ones...just like [s]photocopiers[/s] designers
How about I have some apostrophes tattooed, so Junkyard can borrow them as his keyboard clearly lacks a key... 🙄
Surely that should be "apostrophe's"
Maybe in Junkyard's weird and wonderful world...
AS IT GOE'S I MUCH PREFER THAT PEOPLE MISS OUT APOSTROPHE'S THAN ADD THEM UNNECESSARILY WHICH ANNOY'S THE HELL OUT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Call me old fashioned, but I prefer people to be educated.
... Which, ironically, raises an interesting point. If you look at a cross section of successful people, the most intelligent don't usually have tattoos.
Of course, there are your David Beckhams - successful primarily for kicking a ball and pouting, but your Bransons, Hawkins etc are largely ink-free. Funny that, innit.
the most intelligent don't usually have tattoos.
I'm assuming you're covered in them from head to toe...
If you look at a cross section of successful people, the most intelligent don't usually have tattoos.
Though equally, the most intelligent don't look at single characteristics and make leaps of assumption to come to conclusions about a link.

Wow mocking me for grammar ....your so original and funny ..have you considered stand up?

No, but the most intelligent know that if it looks like a dog and barks like a dog, it's probably a dog. 🙄

My so original and funny what? Oh, did you mean "you're"??
Pass me my rifle...

Only if you promise to use it on yourself 😛
We should sticky any Tat thread. This subject pops up once a month without fail, we could all refer to threads previous and attitudes towards them too.
Only Tat I've seem that made me "wow" inside was one of an Indian Chieftains head, complete with headress on a friend of my Mothers. He wore roll neck jumpers all year round and one day I mentioned it to him, to which he lifted his top up and there it was on his chest... a massive Indians head.
He said " I had it done years ago, now I wish I hadn't"
Thats the only thing I think of when I see one.
Your body, your choice.
I like tattoo threads, they help galvanise my opinion that tattooed people are easier to outwit. 😉
Off to ride my bike now :p
Please, not this hackneyed old cliche again Shibboleth. It's actually pretty simple - some people with tattoos are a bit dense, and guess what? Some without them are as well. You have a well documented history of stating you wouldn't employ anyone with tattoos. Exactly how long a queue of people do you have wanting to work for you anyway?
And finally, though I feel a bit uncomfortable doing this, I'm a charge nurse on a busy acute psychiatric unit, a job for which you have to have a certain level of intelligence, and I've got a fair number of tattoos. My wife is a senior lecturer at a large university, and guess what? She has tattoos. Of course, you're entitled to your opinions, but at least try and base them on something more than your own petty little prejudices.
[i]they help galvanise my opinion that tattooed people are easier to outwit[/i]
Do you take anything positive away from these threads? Just seems an exercise in you trying to wind people up most of the time and then feigning delight when it works.
...Only Tat I've seem that made me "wow" inside was
that woman that had had a double complete mastectomy, and had impressive art put back on. may have been real, may have been 'shopped. think facebook banned the image for breaking rules about nudity.
most of the rest... i think there's a w missing from "tat".
sure it's your body, do what you like to it, but if it's "art" on display then expect others to appreciate or dislike it. especially so when it's on the back where the owner can't see it without use of mirrors and contortion.
Just seems an exercise in you trying to wind people up most of the time and then feigning delight when it works.
I am not sure it works and he seems to get beaten most time from what I see. IMHO he is too stupid and smug to either realise or care
Its rather ironic that he come here to insult others though for lacking class and other qualities ....oh the ironing
I haven't seen Shibboleth outwit anyone yet.
He's certainly just trolling though.
ive got an 853 PA and a surgical steel PA
i might now get the 853 PA's headtube badge, tattooed on my right calf.
mike, wanna have your babies.
my opinion of all tattoos: Chavvy. Cheap, chavvy, short-sighted, foolish chaviness by attention seaking, chavvy chavs hell-bent on confrontation.
Thanks for that. Don't think anyone was asking. And it's too easy to disprove, but as bertie bassett says, it takes all sorts.
degree, several professional qualifications, very successful at work (though tbf its not that hard to be 
)and getting a full sleeve, hopefully, finished next month.... what's his point again?? why oh why if it winds him up soooo much does he keep coming onto these threads and being as much of a tit? . this is probably the first and only time I will directly type anything to mr (?) Shibboleth. Please leave these threads alone. so you don't like tattoos, so some people do. live and let bloody live and stop being a stupid arris when it comes to peoples choices.
'hey an Ironman finisher, which one did you do?'
Could have just been displaying his favourite tipple?

Deary me...
Shibboleth. Please leave these threads alone. so you don't like tattoos, so some people do. live and let bloody live and stop being a stupid arris when it comes to peoples choices.
Daftvader. How apt. I may have got the wrong end of the stick completely, but isn't this a thread about not liking tattoos?
And isn't this a forum where people contribute with opinions and ideas for the purpose of debate?
So on what basis, exactly, do you think you're in a position to ask me not to post?
Who said the tattooed weren't easy to outwit?? 🙄
Why do you think all tattooed pepole are the same.
Oh wait you know what, don't bother. Must not feed obvious troll.
Why do you think all tattooed pepole are the same.
They share a lot of similar characteristics. They have lots of different ones, but they share a lot. This allows me to form an opinion based on my opinion of people with those characteristics, and I'm perfectly entitled to do so.

Shib the attention seeker seeks attention shocker 😆
Wish I hadn't said anything 😕
I'd like something bike related to balance up the tats on my back, years ago I was going to get something 24 hour solo related, but I don't do them anymore and my tastes have changed. Still I'd like something to mark all the years I've been racing bikes.
Everything I have is family stuff.
Laughing my tattooed arse off! 😆

Eyes, mouth, nose, ears?
.... head, shoulders, knees and toes! Knees and toes....
Sorry, got carried away

Does that mean calling Shibboleth a bellend would be frowned upon?
it is a request pure and simple. I said nothing about outwitting. you seem offended by tattoos, and yet when these threads come up still deliberately post on them and bait people into arguing. it was a polite request that you as a forum contributor refrain from posting on these threads as, instead of polite debate, you seem to delight in offending. I understand the dislike of tattoos on an intellectual level, however you seem unable to take an intellectual stance and stick with derogatory and inflammatory comments. this is just my opinion and as such, being one of the disgustingly chavvy, ill informed, tattooed halfwits I expect you will ignore it and you will continue to try and inflame these threads as and when they come up.

Why do you think all tattooed [s]pepole[/s] [b]people[/b] are the same.They share a lot of similar characteristics. They have lots of different ones, but they share a lot.

I'd really rather like to know precisely what those characteristics are, and how large a sample you took of the UK's population in order to arrive at your conclusion.
Because it's certainly been my experience that the variation in character and personality of those with tattoos exactly equals those of the non-tattooed population.
It's good to know, however, that you wouldn't employ someone with tattoos, because I certainly wouldn't want to work for an opinionated, prejudiced jackass like you.
I hope that you also employ a good proofreader, 'cos I'd hate to entrust someone with your spelling capabilities with an important job.
From reading this thread I have learnt that non tattooed people are very clever and tattooed people are stupid and on drugs. But who can ride a bicycle fastest?
Oh dear countzero, the spelling error you've highlighted in an attempt to discredit me was a quote from someone else! Silly billy!
In my experience, the tattooed classes typically share the following characteristics:
- A certain naïveté and badly formed sense of style and taste
- a very short-sighted attitude
- a propensity to adopt a rather immature "two-fingers" attitude to society
- a desperate need to feel part of a niche
- an alarming lack of originality and a sheep-like mentality
- high levels of narcissism and pretentiousness
I hope this answers the questions posed to me in sufficient detail and stimulates sensible debate. 😀
a very short-sighted attitude

Still unable to stop yourself then Shib?
D'ya think Bob? I know so many people that have had tats removed, or bitterly regret having them done. I'd say it's the absolute definition if short-sightedness to have a very permanent body modification made without considering that you might regret it in only a few short years.
So maybe you'd like to expand on your opinion?
In my experience
How do you know if someone has a tattoo?
If you interviewed someone, I guess they'd be fully clothed?
How do you know if they have or don't have a tattoo?
Surely this blows your theory completely out of the water.
