Because aliens / Bezos / Gates / God / The Cosmos are monitoring me my Spotify just shuffled to this in an enormous playlist. Bizarre.

Indeed, fair point.
Seeing a footballer without a tattoo is like seeing Priti Patel without a smirk. Almost makes you do a double-take.
I blame Beckham. I don't know whether to just look at him or read him these days. He reminds me of when I was a kid into Silly Putty - you could roll the putty onto a newspaper page, peel it off, and the newspaper print would come off onto the putty. Thats EXACTLY what his skin looks like now.

I went to tattoo fx in Haywards Heath. They were excellent. I’m working on a full sleeve and, just before sitting under the needle for the first part, I asked if they could add the letters in negative. No issue, and I really like its simplicity. I will get the badge at some point but it doesn’t fit with the sleeve I’m currently doing.
it’s much better and straighter in real life but because it’s on the back of my elbow, it was a funny angle to take the photo…

Here is mine. I absolutely love it. Wanted one for years and finally got it done. For me, I can hide it when I need to but I know it’s there.
Was a walk in at The Brighton Tattoo Collective.

Love a good black band tattoo.
I've only got space on my legs for a band and the thought of that needle scraping over my shin fills me with dread.

This hasn't turned into a Pompey forum, has it?

It's unusual to see anyone over the age of 18 without a tattoo up here. Most of the tattoos are bloody awful imo

To be fair, the inner wrist was far worse for me than the elbow. But the shins/ribs are not in my plans at all!

If you like it - go for it. Tramp Stamps are not for me, but wouldn't it be a boring world if we all liked the same thing.

Oh yeah the wrist sucks. Elbow isn't much fun either.
Ribs I've considered. I quite like the trend (probably old trend by now) American college students had of getting the outline of their home state tattooed on their ribs. I thought about getting the outline of Sussex done, which would double up as my BHA tat.

Why oh why oh why?
The proper lower back Tramp Stamp is not at all in fashion presently, but as I walked my daughter to school last week I followed behind a 40-something mother with a FABULOUS tribal one, of almost certainly late-90s vintage.
Tattoos are tacky
Perfect!
I was working in an old lady’s house and she kept looking at my arms, I knew she was going to say something about my tattoos, I was thinking any moment now.
Her - “Were you in the navy dear?”
Me - ‘No, I also haven’t been in prison”
I quite like that but I want to incorporate mine into a design that is personally meaningful.
I really like my current tattoo - the DoB of my 3 kids in roman numerals on my left shoulder. But they say once you start you kind of want more, and that is exactly how I feel. So my second tattoo is going to be on my right upper arm I think.

I sometimes wish for an Albion tattoo, but I would think carefully before having a Europa League one. I would wait until the end of the season and look back on it. I mean suppose we did not do well in it? Would you still want a permanent reminder?
My son has one like that, but slightly higher up on his leg.
