If you're the pedant you appear to be, you'll absolutley love this forum! It's full of typos, spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and incorrect punctuation, and when you've read, proofread and corrected the million or so posts, you just might be able to enjoy the content of the post. :hello:

You misspelt "absolutely".

I saw this article about tattoos the other day. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/tony-parsons-on-tattoos-they-make-my-skin-906613
I don't have any tattoos, and i've never been tempted. I think the "sleeves" are way too much. To me they just look like someone has dipped their arm in ink, they look so untidy! As for tattoos on women..not very nice.:thumbsdown: I've seen what you'd think of as normal granny types with them. People often say "What'll they look like when they're old"?. Well all they have to do is look at these silly old women and they'll find out.

I have to say I find myself in agreement. Tatoos are IMO hidious.

Thats it though, it's an opinion. Beauty's in the eye of the beer holder and all that?
There's plenty of people don't get why a grown up bloke'd have a bike when they can have a car and go to the gym, or sit infront of the telly watching 22 other blokes kick a ball about.
Guess it's like Harry Callahan says in the 'Dead Pool'
"Opinions are like peanuts. Everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks."
Personally I've got several, tats, not peanuts. I thought of each one before I got it done. Even designed a couple myself. I made sure they're the posh type - correct spelling ;-)
Designs well underway to turn the 2 or 3 on my right arm into a half sleeve.
December 19th 2002. I came back from a tattoists. I'd been going to have my 1st borns name and DoB on my arm. Took a while as I couldn't decide on a design. I'd eventually sussed it, small and discrete. I walked into the house stating "Right, got it done"
Our lass held up a piece of white plastic with 2 blue lines and said "Where are you getting the next one?"

Of course it's just an opinion, it's a discussion so I'm proffering mine. What you find attractive I find repulsive.
Tattoos are however subtly different from the examples above, they're pretty damn permanent. What seems a good idea or fashionable now or when you're young could of course be a big regret later for many. The alleged singer Mrs Cole doesn't seem to be flaunting her neck any longer ....
Time will tell.

I remember seeing a homeless guy at London Bridge with a tattoo of a spider's web across his face.

Tatoos are ok when done preperly and sensibly, but in the case of the gentleman mentioned above, need I say more?

What's the Hebrew? From what I can see it looks like ...muel. Samuel? (Schmuel)?

Well spotted

It's my sons name Samuel and I had the spelling and phonetics checked by a proffessional before I had it inked on for life

In the main the sleeve is in rememberance of my Dad who passed away a couple of years ago and has an angel flying over a clock with the time he passed on.

Then the words A minute of your time from
One of his favourite singers Tom Jones

A few birds,a few flowers and angels

Some was done before he passed and was done by Louis Molloy (Beckhams tattooist) then the rest was done at Saz in Warrington
