Surely "ex-military types" get their tattoos because of the "uniformity of life in the services". Following the crowd.

A tattoo is basically a stupid person's way of telling you that they are stupid ... before they open their mouth ... ( " I thank you " )

OK, I will turn a blind eye to mature ex-military types who got themselves a tattoo to escape the 'uniformity' of life in the services. However, the cloying younger generation really make me laugh as their tattoos are ANYTHING BUT "INDIVIDUAL" . Why? Well, because they ALMOST ALL have one of course! If everyone drove a Mini (of slightly different colours etc.) then NOBODY would be 'unique'.. it really is that simple.

It must be acknowledged however that tattoos are a very accurate way to discern whether a person has any (real) 'style' and/or any (real) 'class'.

There are only two certainties in life... death, and a guy or gal with a tattoo!

Another form of self-harming which is symptomatic of mental health issues.

Get over yourselves people who think "get a life" comes to mind or say tattoos will wrinkle.
Your whole body wrinkles if you do or dont want it to.
If people make a mistake and want to remove them, so be it.
Thats their mistake. Not yours so stop moaning about it.
Tattoos are a way of expressing your self, your belifes and a form of art work.
People who think its stupid, thats fine its your own opinion, everyones entitled to one after all.
But when you sit on a laptop with only pixels are identifying you and you slag off someones body art or photography work, your simply a coward.
I personally adore tattoos, and have my own opinion on them. I dislike overcrowding your body with them, but thats just me, what I prefer and dont. But I wouldnt go and slag someones work off sitting behind a computer screen.
I think this photography work is amazing, it just goes to show that some people dont look like they have the certain tattoo on their bodies.
Each tattoo will have a meaning, a story, an emotinal journey through the persons eyes it is displayed on.
Fantastic images, good subject. What more could you want.

Nice art work but how will it look when they get older 60+ with wrinkles ?? Pass the sick bag

I think the words LIFE, A and GET spring to mind!!

TATTOO TATTOO

when nature is cruel and gives you a bad birth mark,sometimes you have to live with it,yet some people go ahead and pay a fortune just to waste thier skin which can look ugly when you get older

Tattoo's on women away's cheapen them and make them look as rough as f#ck.

Yuk. Tats will go out of fashion. Soon I hope. They certainly don't do much for job prospects (unless you are a tattoo-ist.

I could think of several ways to spend my money better. I trust that they will not want the NHS to remove them in later life.

What about when you get older and the skin sags ...yuk
