the nearest people to me are pretty good by all accounts

this guy is just at the top of my road.

it's more a question of getting the gumption to go and do it. and then having to deal with my brother being annoying about it, and then him telling my folks who will be annoying about it.

They have a son with a good job and a wonderful future wife.
A tattoo is hardly going to wreck anything.

it's not the disapproval
it's the lack of understanding. my bro and parents have the same view, that people only have them because they want to be "different", but because so many people have them it doesn't make you different anymore. This means they will ask me annoying questions.

whereas my view is that some tattoos are awesome, and it is nothing to do with anyone other than the individual. I can put this view across easily to sensible people....

Tell them they're talking out of their arse.
There are hundreds of reasons why people get tattoos.

Remind him that it isn't so long ago the good stuff was the preserve of the professional classes.

I'm irritating at best. I'm too lazy for annoying.

DiT's tat is ace
if a bit hippy-bollocks

I want to get a plain Saltire (just four simple triangles) and the red 'e' from this pic. But like Vipros I would stumble to go through with it and get my first one evah!

It is *not* hippy!
It is VIKING stuff.

You should get it done. But maybe without the Erasure 'e', you don't want people thinking you're a shirter now, do you?

I hope you had a Happy Birthday.

But an 'e' in a Saltire...

That's 'Vegetable' flavour noodles, if you're looking for a gift.

They'd be separate tattoos (and it's not a drug reference)
I could get a Manowar one too if you wanted me to be more manly. Manowar aren't gay in the slightest bit. Oh no.
( djtrialprice, Tue 11 May 2010, 16:08, Reply)

a friend's brother has a manowar tattoo
apparently he is straight, despite the tattoo, and the fact that he wears tight white jeans and a white cowboy hat.

my ex's brother had
Wanted Dead or Alive and a skull on his arm, 80s metal clothing, and a plait, earring, cowboy hat combo.
He raved abut Peter Andre's pecs (this was the 90s) and had ALL of his shirts and t-shirts altered shorter to show off his biceps.

He got a teenager off his bus-route pregnant and is now a father of three.

Oh I seeeee
The 'e' will still look well-drugz tho.
Wow, yes, get the Manowar one. I'm dripping already.

It was ace thanks mate
Sorry I missed yours. Stupid parents of ours shagging at the same time.

I'm always out in Stockholm for work these days, they still consider themselves Vikings (hippies). Roota literally used to think I was gay because of my love of Erasure. I love being a metal fan who listens to gay synth.
