Love it TG

Personally, given who it’s on I think it’s a good tattoo, if it was one of the rest of us… we’d deserve to be put down.

I’ve just twigged. My opinion of it is unchanged.

Regarding the original OP:

that’s Catsby from the occasional “Twisp and Catsby” strip at Penny Arcade surely?

thank you for sharing that Yunki – funniest story I’ve read in ages 🙂

Those handlebars are awesome! How could you not, when going at it doggy style, put your hands either side of her waist and either mimic jumping doubles, or go BWARRP BWAAARRRP!!! ?

Hang on. Darth Vader and flowers? Wtf?

Nobody loves veldspar as much as Chribba

I knew a welsh guy who had “england forever” tattood across his abdo whilst in the army. He’s never drank whiskey since.

grammar fail

looking at that dodgy vest the grammar wasn’t my first worry!!

Not me. I thought it was make up when I saw him in the lady gaga video. How long would that take and how painful would it be around your eyes? –amongst other places–

why is there a chap wearing a girls vest top? that is wronger that felching your granny.

That guy tattooed all over must be on the dole. There is no way you could afford that or have the spare time to get it done with a job.

unless you are a tattoo artist or work in a similar industry, in which case it’d be excellent and you’r do bit’s yourself and get mates to add to it 😀

EDIT- I love that full skin job, that is beautiful

+1
I barely noticed the tats, that is probably a crime of some description.

I love dislike that full skin job, that is beautiful pretty much utter pish

the 100% welsh lamb tattoo on the other hand; pretty much pure genius.

2 weeks dole money = about an hours tattooing.. the maths is getting too confusing already

I was clearly being flippant. I apologise.

hmmm..

I want to see proper workings out and references next time

see me after class

I was thinking about tattoos today – why is a tattoo on your arm/leg/back ‘a statement of individuality’ but one on your neck or knuckles socially unacceptable for most mainstream jobs?

Only in your opinion, I think they are a bit sad wherever they are, and never are they a “statement of individuality” ever other mediocre moron seems to have one. (not that you are a mediocre moron, just that lots of mediocre morons have them)

I’m sorry but that is just plain wrong.

You may not like it aesthetically or agree with tattoos in general but the skill of the tattoo artist to do work like that is bloomin amazing and will have taken years to learn, like any other master craftsman and should be respected for that at least.

bloody plain skin philistines 😀

That’s kinda my point – I don’t like them (although in the past I wanted one so I am very relieved I never did it). But tattoos on some parts of the body are more acceptable than others – why? They all look equally ugly especially after time when the inks have bled.

it’s strange that a lot of un-inked folk have the perception that a tattoo is a “statement of individuality” if anything tattoos have always shown an allegiance to a tribe/clan or had a higher spiritual meaning to the individual such as shamanistic/religious tattoos.

To most people they are an intensely personal thing. Mine are not a statement to anyone and funnily enough the last thing in my mind when getting them done was “oooooo I wonder what complete strangers, whose opinion I couldn’t care less about will think”

We’re all here for a very short period of time, if folks get happiness from colouring bits of themselves in just let them get on with and stop being such judgemental tits. They most certainly will not care that you don’t have tattoos.

I guess because you can hide the “acceptable” ones?

other than that, I dunno, as I dislike them all. I understand people make mistakes, two of my brothers have them and a good mate has them and they are all really nice decent people, but for some reason I am still “tattoist”..

I appreciate good art – and I agree the full body dude, some of the drawings are good, but none of it is stunning as drawings go..

That cat’s ace, no need for the lippy or whatever round his button :vom:

the usual bollox spouted here

people are different, people care how they look, thats why we get our hair cut in a certain way, shave our faces/legs/armpits dress in particular style of clothes, buy a brand of bike or indeed get a tattoo

people judge one another on these things

i think anyone who watches reality tv/xfactor stuff is thick, as is anyone who gets an incorrectly spelt tattoo!

Yes its skilful; however I just think meh when I see one and the bigger the tattoo the greater the meh.

I got a tattoo on my back for a number of reasons, one being that I don’t have to see it every day for the rest of my life. I was worried that if I did I would get sick of it.
Sometimes I forget I’ve got one (it’s been there for 10+ years) and I see it in the mirror and I think – ooh I like that.

You have 4 mins to edit before the spelling police arrive.

Not sure there is any bollocks being spouted, just different opinions being aired.

nothing better than a tattoo thread to find out who the judgemental types are 😀

I have just finished my dinosaur sleeve because i love dinosaurs, not because i want people to look at my arms and go ‘ohhh isn’t he individual’ I’m already individual with or without tattoos. as are you.

+1 on haircuts, fashion choice, the car you drive, the shoes you wear the way you decorate your house. who gives a flip what others look like. all that matters is they’re pretty and have boobs.

A friend of my wife…. interesting choice of knuckle tats… she only got them done about 2 weeks ago.

I LIKE.
