Ann,

I remember My Father's tattoos, the dagger, a heart pierced with an arrow, a dagger, his Army badge etc & others I forget.

Crossing the Border they got us through many check points when the soldiers stopped us, as they recognised his tattoos from the various countries of the war. They always saluted Dad so there must have been a sign there.

So they come in useful sometimes, tho' I hate them on girls & too many on men.

Pat

Me too Pat, I see more and more young girls with their arms or back of the neck covered in tattoos, I think it is repulsive myself. Mauri

Mauri & Pat, we are the older generation now. We're probably repeating what our parents or grandparents would have said when Teddy boys and girls appeared, when Elvis gyrated his pelvis, miniskirts - I could go on. It's the latest fashion, that's all. We're a different generation. That's the way it goes.
