Whilst there are a few exceptions which disprove the rule, usually tattoos belong on lower class people, chavs and the like, who have no discernable intellect.

Otherwise, the sort of people who have tats are body piercers and sex people. In otherwords, people with serious self-esteem issues and attention-seeking disorders who enjoy having a coachbolt through their knob or clit. Normally these folk really are the most tedious dullards if you are ever unfortunate enough to be engaged in conversation by one.
I do not know why but this has really pissed me off with your sweeping statement, I am neither 'lower class' as you so put it, neither do i have a 'small intellect' not to mention am I a chav or scally or anything else of that ilk!

mad

ETA: you are a closed minded cock tard

Superb! Everyone's having a nice discussion on tattoos and then someone pipes up with that ... excellent! Well done!

It really pisses me off when people form an opinion on things they have not experienced or simply do not like. Just because they see some people with questionable tattoos they form an opinion that all people with tattoos are the same!

You must get pissed off a lot, then. People form opinions on all sorts of things that they have not experienced For instance, do you have an opinion of G.W.Bush? Have you experienced him?

As for not liking something, well, that'll be an opinion in itself.

Ok your being a pedant here, you know what I meant.

Forming an opinion and voicing it in a way that may/ may not cause offence to who/ what the opinion has been formed on.

I have three Tattoos Andy - so what am I out of your 'little' list?

I'm in complete agreement with Speed_Monkey's opinion.

Mmm, I seem to fit on both sides of the fence, I run my own business, but do find that in my other life, my tatts definately set me out from the crowd, and funny thing is, they actually are a conversation starter. Oh well, never did fit in with stereotypes biggrin

Oh, wait, you were actually serious?

You sir, are a fool of the highest order. I have 2 tattoos, am about to get a third, have a shaved head too. I'm quite a pleasant chap, am certainly not lower-class (how many lower-class types have ecurie25 memberships?) I am witty, urbane, and have a higher than average intellect. I'm also great in bed, but that's just my ego talking.

So by your rationale, I am one of the exceptions to the rule. But what's this? More people just like me, here on PH? Oh yes, thats right, i think you'll find your arguement is completely flawed, as nowadays anyone can, and does, have a tattoo.

Now kindly return to your dwelling under a bridge, where you can growl at passers-by.

True I always get girls and guys (non-gayers) pull up my T-shirt sleeve and ask me about myy tattoos,
"where did you get them done"
"how long....."
"did it hurt" etc etc

It's always amazed me just how intolerant people without tattoos can be, I mean the sweeping gernalisations about 'inked' people, our mentality, class, education and such like.

So do we start coming out with how prissy and uptight, oh and narrow minded people without tatts are? Nope, never usually see people with tatts condeming people for not having them, and never see people with tatts running down the list of perceived failures to chalk up against not-inked people.

Must make us slightly more tolerant and accepting of people then!

As I said earlier, it's my body, my choice, I paid for them, and I don't actually care if people don't like them, just don't judge me by your own small standards. I am actually a nice person (well I am unless I'm being paid not to! smile )

Forming an opinion is something we all do, quite naturally, and can't really be prevented.

Voicing it? Well, that's what forums are for, voicing opinions. If they cause offence, well, that's just too bad. Maybe the offendee should consider avoiding forums, or else just getting over it.

I had a tattoo of a small rose on the bottom left of my tummy when I was 16, I actually wanted the playboy bunny rabbit but decided last minute that I might regret that later in life and so hence the rose, 12 years later, still wish I got the playboy bunny rabbit rolleyes
