stupid head Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Personally, I jump to negative conclusions about anyone I know who has a tattoo. It doesn't matter what it is or where it is, Well i doubt you'll want me helping out on poppy day if that's the case, i have a triple spiral tattooed on my hand which is very obvious. No way could i work alongside anyone so shallow, so i'm withdrawing my offer of help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frohike Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 You need to think long and hard about this. Im 42, got 3 tats, had them for 20 years AND REGRET ALL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you weren't volunteering for the right reasons if you've decided not to help a worthwhile cause just because you got uppity about my opinion. Your local branch is different to mine, so our paths wouldn't cross. Why not go to http://www.poppy.org.uk and get referred to you local branch (Central Branch). And even if our paths did cross, nothing would happen. You're reacting as if I said I'm a habitual hater of anyone with a tattoo, which isn't the case. Several of our branch members have tattoos - just because I don't like them doesn't mean we don't get on and share a pint and a laugh. In this thread I was just giving my honest opinion to someone young who asked for advice. To link the two is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why withdraw a very worthy offer of help because you don't share his viewpoint ? By the way I have several tattoos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grafikhaus74 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 If you decide to get one make sure it can be covered up by clothing. Until, of course, the sun threatens to come out. Then you can join all the chavs in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocki Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 im not just having one done because im 18 ive wanted one for quite some time now but obviously ive not been old enough. i was thinking about having a pink bow as i lost my nannan and grandad to cancer last year xx I think that is a lovely idea. I had a red rose tattooed top of my arm in memory of my mum. I wear it with pride and am proud to show it off. I would say go for it as long as you're happy with your choice of what to have but I think a pink bow would be appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrod Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Tattoos are cheap, nasty and very, very liable to changes in fashion. Personally, I jump to negative conclusions about anyone I know who has a tattoo. It doesn't matter what it is or where it is, if they've decided to have indellible ink injected under their skin in hope that it somehow makes them more complete/attractive, then it tells me they have underlying issues with body image/confidence/acceptance. . . .. Must admit I do the same. If I like a picture, then it's something I like to look at, so I'd have it in a frame on a wall. I'd rather not spend a couple of hundred quid on scarring my own body then a few thousand trying to put things right when I regret it years later. That said, I do like some tramp stamps but perhaps that's because of the seediness they advertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
