l never minded tatts once...when people with attitude only wore them. These days tatts are mainly worn by nerds who wanna fit in by trying to look cool. So many goons are doing it now that it has become a major trend. These nerds aren't fooling anyone, l can see through their armour...and what a pissy little front it is. You say `boo' to these nerds and most of `em would piss in their pants.

On the right type of girl, tatts are hot.

Foul.

I got tattooed about 40 years ago, when it was considered daring, offbeat and naughty for a man of education and refinement to do so. I was also inspired by the fact that in the era when aristocracy was at its height, most of the crowned heads of Europe were tattooed--I think of Edward VII, George V and Kaiser Bill. These days, tattooing has become so "common" (in every sense of the word) that I wouldn't think of having it done. Curiously, although the practice now enjoys a plebeian ubiquity comparable to blue jeans, it has become vastly more expensive (even adjusting for inflation) than when I had it done.

Utterly revolting, whether sported by the aristocracy or commoners. I would consider Made in Wigan on my neck, or I Love Suet Pudding on my arm though.

I'm trying to remember the tattoo joke behind the punchline " Welcome to Sunny Jamaica - Have a nice day"

Wedgy Benn is still going strong is he not? Not sure that he yearns to be working class and I bet that he lives in a smart part of London and that the family fortune is intact. It's just the viscountcy that he put on 'hold'.
