Tattoo
Right, I'm getting far too old and far too boring and I want a tattoo! Tell me about good ones (and shit ones too) that you or your mates have to help me decide what to get and where.

Alt Q:
What's everyone having to eat "this evening"? Not a lunch thread, you see

I got a tramp stamp when I was 16
But I'm cool enough to pull it off.

And too fat (ie over a size 14) to wear tops low enough to ever show it so win all round. Not as round as I am though ho ho ho

I want more tattoos though. I have one on each wrist and another on my ankle

Never too old for a tattoo.
My favourite two are my dual aztec monkeys on either shoulder, they are the start of a massive piece I am getting on my back. My worst is a face I drew when I was about 18, and going through my Manga phase. I have it on my left arm and is definitely getting covered over by a sleeve.

edit - not sure about dinner off to a friends for the footie so he is cooking.

Alright Jeff
I did my teacher clothes shop recently. I now own two pairs of cordurouy trousers, dark green, beige. Several check shirts and two non crappy jackets, one with elbow pads. I considered a bow tie but there is only so much dickish clothing one man can pull off.

How did I know you'd bought one? Easy.
You said... 'I considered a bow tie but there is only so much dickish clothing one man can pull off.'

I imagine you can pull off more dickish clothing than most, ergo, you'd have got a fine selection of bow ties, all the whilst hoping you'd look a bit like Dr Who.

I couldn't resist.
I couldn't physically leave the shop without having one. Fuck Dr Who. I actually would quite like one of those cowboy tie things with the buckle and leather. I'm off to ebay.

^This in great amounts
Don't just pick something off the wall (flash, as they're called). Talk with the artist and work something out with them. Good artists make the art flow with the body, bad artists make it look like an ill-placed sticker.

Never EVER pick off the wall. And if it's a complicated, detailed design or writing, please make sure they put a template of washable ink on you first. That way you can play with the placing and know it'll look good and be spelt right.

Get drunk and choose what you can afford with the money you have left
That's what I did, after a week long military exercise, we stopped up for 'Adventure Training' in a little camp outside Newquay. So we headed off to Newquay to spend our hard earned pay. After an afternoon drinking, I went off to the tattooists with my corporal, whol was getting his ex wife's name blacked out. Managed to persuade the tattooist that I was sober and got a tat of a howling wolf, in front of a setting sun. It has been variously described as a snail and a seal. It's not the best tat in the world.

My second tat, an arm band, was done by a tufugu tatau in Western Samoa, with a big stick, a shark's tooth and some indian ink.
