Tattoed Brits

[Rudy Tamasz]

In early September I was on vacation in Turkey. On the beach I noticed that quite a number of Brits who stayed at that hotel were heavily tattoed (dragons, spiders and that kinda stuff). No other nationality came even close. There was one Russian with tattoos an a couple of Turks, while everybody else was clean. I wonder whether tattoing is that common in the UK.

I would say tattooing is fairly common in Britain. Personally I dont have any tattoos and wouldn't want any either.

My opinion on folk that have tottoos (not small discreet ones, but the large in your face type of thing) is best not shared on here. SUffice it to say that I think some folk have more money than sense.

The same applies, IMHO, with body piercing - oh, and newborn kids that have pierced ears - I mean, did the 6 month old actually ask for that????

Some people seem to assume that getting a tattoo is a one way ticket to coolsville (evidently by my use of the word 'coolsville' I do not have any tats).

That's not to say that some people can't pull it off. My mate Justin just wouldn't be Justin without his innumerable tattoos.

But, presumably, you also believe that people should be free to spend their money however they wish?

I don't have any Tats (Tattoo's, not Tatty Bojangles ) although I was considering getting one done of Wilkinson dropping 'that' goal after the 2003 RWC just to p*ss off the Antipodeans

However, and I agree this is a gross generalisation, I feel that lots of 'body art' tends to look a bit cheap.

It's along the lines of cars with bodykit. The owner thinks it makes them look cool, but actually it makes them look like a total tool.

Time to work a bit harder so you can go to a nicer hotel / resort.

Says the man who things a nice evening out involves a place where people have sex in the toilets.
