"What a strange way to take off a t-shirt."

not if you want to display your manly back without actually taking T -shirt off - perhaps he (i presume it's a he) didn't want to get shoulders cold.

yep, I'm definately a 'He'

I just don't understand why. It's not even as if you can see them or they get seen often.

You have to remember before Thatcher and that McGregor swine mine was a mining community - a lot more that just tattoos were seen and discussed daily in the pithead baths - and the club afterwards (now at 71 years old and the mine closed in 1988 my mate Dennis's ahem - appendage is still discussed on a Friday night the same as you would discuss your favourite race winning pigeon)

It's about expressing yourself, and using your body as a work of art

My body is a work of art - unfortunately when it was created Picasso was having an off day

all my tatts were either done as a youngster, and most have been tattooed over with cover ups, free hand tribal type designs on back of neck,shoulder blade and top arm sleeve, but the mrs has the ivy starting on foot and going up, along with butterflies,beetles,bees etc,
it could become expensive, but thankfully my eldest son is a tattooist

Yeah, I enjoyed it, 6 hours of being stung millions of times, makes beekeeping look easy. I was just thinking about a new one on my other arm.

is there any chance you could photograph the ivy thing please as I'd like to take the pic along to my tattooist to show him what I'd like.

love the finger one. I saw something on telly where a woman had every finger on one hand similar to this but in colour. It looked very pretty. I did want a monochrome henna style tattoo on my hand but then I looked at my wrinkled old hands and decided against it lol
