I can't wait till they get old and wrinkly and their tatoos look stupid. That goes for anyone with tatoos.

Nice one. I am sure that I will look at the portrait of my dear late partner, who died giving birth to our child, that I have on my left shoulder when I am older and think "That looks stupid" Did you ever stop to think that some people get tattoos for different reasons before making such a sweeping statement?

I think it's pretty clear that people get tattoos for many reasons. Having a child, a loved one who has passed, a sporting or musical idol.

That doesn't change the fact tats often end up looking a bit saggy, discoloured and generally pretty rubbish as the years pass.

Each to their own n'all that. Everyone's entitled to their views.

I really have no strong view - but this current trend for getting full sleeves, neck and hand tattoos etc, will come back to bite a few people in the bum when they finally enter the grown up world; right or not, it will have an impact on your ability to work in certain professions. But clearly not as RL player.

Totally agree. Be interesting to see what the Todd Carney's will look like in 30 years time.

Big tattoos can look really good. Too often though people just get literally too much ink, so that from anything further than 2 feet away it just looks like grey/green clothing, particularly on the arms. Each to their own though.

I wonder if chavs will start to tattoo their pets ? Obviously it wouldn't work for goldfish.
