I couldn't deal with it.

People always ask where I got my incredibly detailed tattoo done, but they never believe me when I tell them Spain.

Nobody expects the Spanish ink precision

Tattoos are tacky

In a waiting room at a doctor's in Worthing with my daughter and I got chatting to the old lady next to me. Across the way was a young woman with tattoos crawling up her neck and down her arms. I said tattoos these days are boring, people just cover themselves because they're bored of their body. A tattoo used to mean someone had a story or a bit of an edge - they'd either been in the Navy, Prison or a biker. So the old lady said 'I know, they look shit! Which one do you think I was?' She rolled up her sleeve to reveal several tattoos. Turns out she was a biker in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

I don't like to bodyshame.


But your shoulder looks like a forearm.

Have you had that looked at ?

That looks very much like the OFFICIAL club badge. I’d take that photo down quick, before Barber sees it and send you an invoice for licensing rights…

My leg has been copyrighted. Help.

Bizarrely, I have that EXACT design on my forearm. That might even be a picture of mine!

Don’t bother , lots of people regret getting tats for obvious reasons unless you’re a sailor .

I remember your previous comments regarding tattoes and the professions of those who have them.

I mentioned my female dentist has a tooth on her arm. I now have another female dentist and happened to notice she has a tattoo on the underside of her bicep. Not just sailors.

Shoulder? I sincerely hope you’re not a surgeon or similar.

It used to be mainly sailors and if a woman had any tattoos it’s likely she was a prostitute . However that was a long time ago and I accept fashion and acceptance of some things has changed a lot over the last 50 years or so.

Women used to want to look feminine nowdays I’m not too sure with some of them. Change is not always progress .

So whats the deal ?

I'm a total tattoo virgin, but as I will most likely die within the 15-20 years at best, I thought I might get one before I shuffle off. All I want is that little Albion seagull on my upper-right arm. I don't want the "Brighton & Hove Albion FC" circle round the outer edge. All I want is the seagull, with its little YELLOW beak, and the actual seagull itself in white, with a defined outline.

But NOOOooooo. Apparently white doesn't work on slag tags. As usual, with the disappearance of Golden Grahams and Derek Griffiths, anything I like or want is not allowed. So what are my options ? I MIGHT just go for the outline, but I want a yellow beak at least. Is that too much to ask ?

Just want to say good on you. Hope you find a design you like.

Older I’ve got the more I quite fancy one. Older I get the skin gets thinner. Think I’d better pass on this enhancement!

Just had this done - been dithering for about a year but really wanted one, like you a tattoo virgin but had decided on the seagull just above my elbow and thought it’s now or never and what better way to mark this historic season

That looks really good, well done for taking the plunge chap Has the beak been coloured ? Can't quite tell from the pic

Thank you. No, beak just outlined. Thought about having it in blue with yellow beak but opted for just plain black outline and the tattoo artist agreed that she thought that would look best.

Here’s a better shot, it’s now been cleaned as other pic was straight after it was done before she wrapped it
