My first tattoo

[TeePee]

I understand people wanting tattoos, I've even considered one myself, but I'd want an original piece of art. I don't understand the desire to have a copy of somone elses, especially a famous person. Is it some kind of public display of affection?

Ask all the emos with stars on their wrists in 20 years time when they need to wear a shirt to work

If it's on their wrists, surely they'd be scratched off by then?

There are fans of many things that desire to adorn themselves and their belongings with symbols of their fandom. Copying a tattoo is probably more subtle than a big Take That symbol.

To be fair it isn't an exact copy - whilst personally i don't think much of fancy designs it's more of an interpretation (although that might be because the original artist wasn't really up to scratch (har har) with copying let alone actually using a needle), and it's a lot better than the ubiquitous Zune Guy..

The chavvy at work had mum on his left wrist and dad on his right wrist. During one break, a worker said to him that he could get his mum to give him a w**k, and his dad could finish him off His face was priceless lol

I just think when one is old and flabby how much worse tats will look.

I do appreciate the art of a good'un though.

when one is old and flabby, a few tats wont make much difference.

The best thing about that tattoo is as west life age, so will her back and the consistency between how they look will be retained.
