I think I may be a chav.......
I have been reading the rest of the posts on this QOTW with a sinking feeling of dread!

1. I have a 'slag tag', not that I was aware of it until now. I have had it a fair few years and when it was done, not many people had this.

2. I have 9 other tattoos. although they are small, delicate and ladylike, and in places you wouldn't know I had them unless I chose to show them off.

3. I have a number of ear piercings, a tongue stud, a 'private piercing' and a lip stud I no longer wear (but could if I wanted to)

4. I was in my jammies until 1pm today, as was my 3 month old daughter. To be fair we had a rough night last night, she would not sleep for love nor money. I'm tired. We are dressed now.

5. I was contemplating getting my daughters ears pierced after Xmas. Don't think I'll bother now!


However: I have been married for 3 years, own my own house, drive a VW Golf Convertible (standard VW alloys, no other mods) and have just had my first baby at 27, after trying for over a year to get pregnant, so definately planned!

I do not wear a tracksuit (unless I wear my jogging bottoms and a t-shirt if I'm not going out, ONLY in the house, at night), I have never worn large hoop earrings.

So, am I a chav or not?

I have a friend who wears a tracksuit all the time, hoop earrings, spits on the floor (gross) and displays other chavvy behaviour. She smoked and drank whilst pregnant (I gave it all up until my daughter was 9 weeks old, went out on the town with a mate, had a few drinks and the damn ciggies took me in their evil grasp once more!) Her son has a godawful name and the last time I went to her house, her brother showed me his cock. He's 22. We don't hang out much.

Edit: I do like to watch Jeremy Kyle of a morning, while getting the baby ready, if only to gloat that my life is far superior. Sometimes I want to kick the shit out of the TV as the scumbags there make me so angry!

I think you might be a chav though.

Most of the people I know who have loads of tattoos and piercings
are metallers, not chavs. Are you actually a metaller and don't realise it? :)

I used to be......
But am a grown up lady with a husband and a baby and have no time for frequenting the local mosh pit. Also I nicked me hubby from one said metaller and don't think I'd be welome anyway.
Best gigs I ever been to were Korn in Londons Docklands, Perfect Circle in Southampton and CKY at Exeter Uni. CKY was the craziest, Korn had the most up the bum security you ever saw, kiddies were getting their spiked collards removed as they could be used as a weapon. WTF!

The people I know with piercings
are actually pretty solidly middle-class. Go 'round their house and Radio 4 is coming out of every orifice in the building, all day, every day. And the father is a Labour party member, or something like that. So I wouldn't count piercings, nor many tattoos, as being common. But that's just me. "Common" and "chav" are just labels, after all, and shouldn't be relied on.

The urge to not only watch
but appear on Jeremy Kyle is endemic to all chavs, as they recognise the subject matter and think they can become famous for having a shit life.

So I think you've got away with it, you're not :)

saw CKY at exeter uni but I'm not a metaller....in fact I'm probably a chav. :-/

Eh?
Well, I don't have my bum pierced if that's what you mean.
Can you even get that done?!?

I had you down as a chav or a fem chav
But then I realised that you didn't have a rough night because of alcohol!
A clean bill of health regarding chavism I reckon.

baby holes
Only thing i object to there is piercing a kids ears. If they want holes put in them when they are older then by all means but don't have them punctured because you like it.

(And that's coming from a pierced metaller)
