Tattoo - what to have...?

[Bry Nylon]

Just been in the pub with my Watch at the end of our shift, and we got round to discussing tattoos. We are quite a rare bunch, in that only ONE of us has any tattoos. So the rest of us have all decided to have a tattoo done, which MUST be displayed at our Christmas party, mid December.

So I now have about 4 weeks to decide on a design, where abouts on my body it should be, and get it done.

I favour somewhere not visible on an everyday basis - so top of arm, or shoulderblade is favourite at the moment. Which just leaves the 'design' element.

I'm not that fussed about getting a BHA FC one, as I've never really seen a good one (the seagull always ends up looking like a fat pigeon, for some reason).

Any other good / different designs people can recommend?

What, and then get the tattoo done afterwards? Worth considering....

I'm trying to imagine what would go through your head to ask the tattooist for "a Tigger wearing a fireman's outfit, please".

Yeah..........................

err, thanks , but posibly a BIT more involved than I was planning on.

Plus why the f*** has he got an axe in his hands when there is an inferno raging behind him...? What you want there, my friend, is a f****** great big hose reel, pumping out water at 5 bar.

Get some Japanese which looks cool but actually means "No Smoking" or "One Way Street".

A hose, you say? Like this one?

Or perhaps something a little more...British?

Your sign of the zodiac, date of birth and/or blood group. They are the only things that you can guarantee staying with you for the whole of your life (other than the fat pigeon).

And not somewhere anyone can see (unless you really want them to).

No pain....no pain. Ans when you're older you won't look back and wince.

I would say you should really think about this. To do it for the reasons you said would probably end up being something you regret. I have a number of tattoos, all out of everyday sight and I am lucky that I thought about them for months before each one and still like them. However, I think you should take longer to thinnk about it than the Christmas party.

I got an outline of the club seagull on my shoulder. It's subtle, won't make you look like a pleb, you can pretend it's "nature", but people in the know will "know".

Don't get any wording - that's tacky. And avoid small, coloured-in tattoos - they just look like bruises or birthmarks from more than 3 feet away.

What he said.

Tattoos are for life, not just for impressing your mates at the Xmas party.

No fat pigeon here on mine, but bloody difficult to take a picture of your own tattoo, as I just found out!
