"I don't like having lots of tattoos, I just have an atheism symbol on my inner wrist, and a larger baphomet design." My point exactly! What happens if you find God later in life? | |||

"I don't like having lots of tattoos, I just have an atheism symbol on my inner wrist, and a larger baphomet design. My point exactly! What happens if you find God later in life?" Bit like Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte who became king of Sweden and Norway who had a tattoo that read “ Death to the Kings”. 🤣 | |||

"Isn't it risky? What looks good now may look dated in a year or two's time. Have never really understood the attraction. " Not for me but some tattoos are a work of art , daughters got a couple that look good. Just not for me | |||

"I've come to tattoos late in life, I don't think either of mine are fashionable but I like them and don't care what anyone else thinks now or later. A tattoo is a piece of art, just on you rather than on your wall." More like graffiti than body art. | |||

"I get that tattoos are not for everyone , but then nor is religion and many other things , what I have noticed is that those with tattoos are much less likely to judge others ." I’m not so sure, I have noticed that often a tattoo is a means to precipitate and thereby control judgement, a process that involves a fair amount of judgemental thinking. Not that I especially care but we are all judgemental to one degree or another, even those who ‘don’t judge’. | |||

"I don't like having lots of tattoos, I just have an atheism symbol on my inner wrist, and a larger baphomet design. My point exactly! What happens if you find God later in life?" I've been waiting 67 years for the evidence of God's existence, and none has been forthcoming. Somehow I think I'll be okay on that score. | |||

"And some tattooed guys of my age look like a faded piece of Axminster of a pub floor To those wishing to be tattooed my advice is...look at David Beckham and Robbie Williams... grotesque" Apart from anything else, this strikes me as being a little unkind ![]() | |||

"Isn't it risky? What looks good now may look dated in a year or two's time. Have never really understood the attraction. " I have two, o e on each upper arm. My first was a reminder of my time in the Royal Navy. The second is a memorial piece, to an uncle I never met, but greatly admired from afar, who served on the WWII HMS EXETER (Google her history, it's an amazing read). They are both very personal to me and thats the story for most people who have tatts. Everyone has their own reasons for having them. | |||
