The quality of the tattoo artists , inks and needles is far better than 25 years ago IMO, some of the work I see today is amazing, the point I'm making is don't regret not having one done as if you choose a decent tattoo artist now the work will be far better.
Good luck with your oriental...
Funny though plenty of blokes doing the real graft :whistle: in the construction industry ( the tradesmen ) have got tattoos.
I know plenty of decent tradesmen with tattoos.
I have noticed a few people looking at my tattoos when I have been working in their house, now and again an elderly lady will comment on them, I get a question like " were you in the Navy dear? "
I usually reply that I wasn't a pirate or in prison either:)
