I’m not a lover of tattoos… but obviously there is a living to be made out of this form of body-art…
I read this comment on a friend’s FB page…(she seems almost as elusive as ophtalmologistes in France )
"I’ll be opening my books THIS WEEKEND for clients with on-going work only.
This will be so that all you lovely existing clients of mine get first pick of the available dates between Jan-March 2018…before I take on any new clients next month (when my books will be open to all).
If you have NOT already been tattooed by me and want to book-in, please wait until next month (October) and look out for updates on my website or here on my Facebook page.
Useful for identifying the corpse but otherwise it looks like one of those very bad tapestries that used to adorn the walls of “Indian” restaurants in 60’s Birmingham.
I have had a couple of tattoos for many years, only fairly small and only in black. They can be works of art if done carefully and professionally, but the problem I have seen is that over the years the fine details become a bit blurred, faded and just aren’t “fine” any more.
I find it amazing that this tattoo/picture is actually created by individual, tiny, needle stabs … it makes me shudder at the thought… ugh… but they are gaining in popularity…
Is that in thanks for them not attacking you whilst you go about removing their nests ?
I must admit I am not a lover of tattoos either, it seems to be a trend for women to have them ‘crawling’ up their legs, chests and backs. I wonder what they will look like when they pass into their 50’s and older and everything gets flabby.
I always fancied tattoos but never had any - my wife bought me tattooed sleeves for fun a few Christmasses ago. Easy to put on and take off but my Mum nearly had kittens when I took my jumper off to show my ‘artwork’.
She jumped nearly as much as I did when I saw a guy walking out of the pool on holiday with an automatic pistol tucked into the back of the waist band of his shorts - it was only a tattoo but I was already planning my escape and looking for the kids.
I posted a thread about my views on tattoos - I don’t find them attractive & would not have one. My dislike of tattoos was interpreted by a few that I therefore dislike people with tattoos! I don’t like Citroen 2CVs either but I have friends who do.
Some can indeed be works of skill rather than art, much like an air brushed picture on a car or truck but if that car was sold on or the owner got bored with it, it can be removed.
