It got me wondering, after FD's example of a tattoo on another topic, do you have or even like tattoos?
I have to admit, I don't mind the odd discrete tattoo on a lady. In fact i have a small tattoo of a red rose, measuring about 5cms (2 inches in old money) on the back of my right shoulder. I'm not keen on big ones on a lady though!
I was talking to a girl the other day, mid twenties and attractive, who had this design that looked like ivy going up her body and down her arm. she had tattoos on both feet and described to me a design of a cup cake she was about to have done at the base of her back. How interesting, says I, but I was lying and what I wanted to say was, that's bloody minging. What's all that lot going to look like when she's 70 and her skin has lost it's elasticity? Yuk!
I like a nice tattoo on a man, mainly on their arms. I like those elaborate designs that seem popular now. I'm not keen on names and I don't like anything on mens necks or faces
I saw a chinese (looking ) man at my pool in JBR and he had tattoos on his back and legs. I didn't like the tattoos and they looked wrong on a chinese man. I don't know why, they just did.
One of Beth's local friends was telling her he would love a tattoo but it was against his culture. is it? Is that for Emiratis, or Muslims in general? Another one of her friends, an Iraqi lad, has 3 very nice tattoos. He does a bit of modelling, in fact he was on the magazine programme on Dubai One not long since doing some modelling so they don't seem to be doing his part time career any harm.
On the whole I like them if they are done professionally. I'm not keen on body piercing, which ugly people seem to do to make themselves uglier.
