I appreciate they are currently fashionable but I do think without trying to sound snobby that there is a link between intelligence and class which mostly with a few exceptions obviously between the type of people that have a tattoo. I.e. Mainly lower intellect working class tradesmen not middle class solicitors or doctors for example.

Nothing against working class tradesman by the way , although they do clog up the road to Saltdean , woodingdean and peacehaven every rush hour morning !

Wow, you do realise it is 2017? I am a teacher in a top international college whereby all teachers obviously have a degree, most have masters and many have Phds, I would say the vast majority of those under 40 have tats including the Oxbridge graduates. I think you may be a little out of touch.

The imagine is on the torso of professional cyclist and World Champion Peter Sagan.

Can someone talk me through that please?

Really don't get them. It may look cool for some when you're young, but get old and you're gonna like an idiot
To be honest, you don't look that great when really old anyway, and when that old people don't care what you look like.

I'm guessing, and this is only a wild unfounded stab in the dark, that this chap decided he wanted to get that tattoo and then he went and got that tattoo.

Do many people get tattoos of themselves?

A recent-ish article:

"A medical-toxicological view of tattooing"

But relax. The conclusions are a load of wafflebollox.

I work at a university (no, I'm not cleaning staff!) and you'd probably be surprised just how many of my colleagues have tattoos. Just trying to say your hypothesis is very wrong.

Went swimming with family at burgess hill triangle. So many fat people (& non fat) covered in bad tattoos. Loads with their kids names & d.o.b (in case they cant remember I'd guess).

Ps. I have a couple of tattoos & think some can look good. A bit like graffiti street art v tagging
