Oh, and the "council estate trash" argument is total crap.
I know people with 6 figure salaries that have got tattoos…
The difference is that the chavs and the council estate scum got their mate to do em their GF's name in a heart with an arrow through it with a darning needle and a bottle of quink, and the classier people get proper custom designs done by a reputable artist and pay good money for it.
I often judge the caliber of a new pub I go into by checking the quality of the tattoos on display… Good quality designs and you're in a good place, scratched on with a compass and mispelt and you know it's time to leave!
