Having being told there was a call in on Radio 5 this morning about tattoos and Tattoo Jam in Doncaster, I was immediately interested....
Unfortunately, it was not the call in I was hoping for, instead they had idiots calling in who wasted oxygen, slating anyone with a tattoo. Admittedly anyone stupid enough to cover themselves in football tattoos and 15yrs later go and have them removed on the NHS is a total prick, but the rest of the comments made, irritated me.
I tried calling in to make my point especially to the one caller who referred to women with tattoos as "ugly" and "easy", he then further insulted the tattoo community with the comment, "anyone with tattoos in my opinion is filth, and of low intelligence".
.....OK if your reading this, surely your blood is boiling like mine was. I graduated from University with a Bachelor of Science degree after 3 years of hard graft, and I have held full time employment since I was 20.....I'm not thick and I do not appreciate some narrow minded tit, who does not know where the location of his own arsehole is with two hands and a compass to make these ridiculous comments!!!!
So for anyone with a tattoo or those on there way to a full body suit, or even an admirer of the skill and beauty, be proud and do not allow any of these fuck wits to make you think otherwise. I chose to have body art as a mark of who I am and in some cases remembering those no longer with us, and it is most certainly an extension of my personality....and when I'm 70yrs old - I'll be bloody proud to have done something that others wasted their lives thinking about, and I'll be sat with my tattooed mates enjoying the sunset with a drink!
End of rant!!
