I think tats tend to look better on woman with dark skin. I'm not a fan personally but do understand people who have them for personal reasons to honour a loved or lost one - I hope I'm lucky enough to navigate through life without feeling the need to do that.

One thing I will never understand is why anyone would want tats on their face...

I wholeheartedly agree.

I have quite a few too and the reaction of some people when they discover makes me laugh.  I would always advise younger folk to be mindful what they get and where, regrettably a lot of people do judge.

The one on my chest I got because I had a weird dream and thought that would make a good tattoo, so I did.

As for the comments of 'as you get older they look rubbish', yes that's true, as the skin loses elasticity and pigment they don't look as good, but who cares anyway?  The rest of you will look pretty skanky too, there will undoubtably be a number of other ailments and you will start to smell a bit like faint pee and boiled cabbage.

Do the things you want to do when you have the ability to do them and enjoy them, if you put off until tomorrow you might just wake up dead and discover that tomorrow didn't arrive.  Just don't take advantage of anyone else to do what you want to do.

 

This.

As I approach 50 I come to realise that I only regret the things I haven’t done, not what I have done.

I think that says much more about you perhaps, than the person with the tattoo. 

Scully the term KB1 used,  a decade or more ago it was a term given to tatas on women. Purely because the bulk of them you saw with them would be Jeremy Kyle guest material. Things have changed and moved on as more girls got tattoos.

But KB1 hasn’t moved on obviously.

I always thought that it derived from US female porn ‘actresses’ who had a tattoo on the small of there back.

Also known as slag tags.

Female tattoos were always  called slag tags round here, even by the girls who had them. As in "I'm going to get another slag tag tomorrow" There didn't seem much of a stigma to the expression

What can I say, other than I find those tattoos women get on their lower backs, incredibly off-putting 😳  Are you suggesting I would be a better person if I lied, towed the PC line and say "They look great"?  I'm surprised that you would take something so personal when it doesn't suit your own circumstances…….🤔   My eldest daughter had her nipples pierced when she was younger, and if anyone had criticised her, I would have agreed wholeheartedly……   Some people don't like guns; what does that say about them???

There was a young lass in the gym last night with an almost complete sleeve done? That I don't really get, it didn't even look good.

Nice well done tats on a lady i think can look good, especially if there in places where you can't see all of it, makes you wonder 😊

Just been swimming and a young mother had her whole back covered going down the top of her arms. Said to wife what do you think, she said looks awful. Must be an age generation thing that we dont like them but my daughter would say different. Both my children have small tattoos, I don't like them but they are adults.

A doctor of my acquaintance told me of a patient he referred to a plastic surgeon. She had ‘Gary’s pussy’ tattooed on her lower abdomen shall we say, a little above the welcome mat. She had parted company with Gary and wanted rid of the tattoo.

The surgeon agreed only to remove ‘Gary’s’, leaving her with ‘pussy’, which is sort of obvious.

Still makes me laugh.

I worked with a guy who had his first wife's name tattooed on his arm and his second wife to be wouldn't marry him untill he had it removed.

The resulting laser surgery was painful and the end result looked a mess, but perhaps techniques are much better now.
