To Tattoo or not too Tattoo?

Am seriously considering getting my fist ever tattoo. Plan is a small discreet Bee in tribute to the City of my birth (Manchistor) somewhere easily covered.

Hesitant, as when I was nipper tats were for ruffians, bus drivers (who always seemed to have a swallow on their hand when dispersing tickets) or Sailors, not that I met many- Sailors that is, I knew plenty of ruffians.

So where do folks here stand on yer inking? Would I be satisfied with a single insect or is it a slippery slope to the full Beckham?

I would say no to the tattoo mainly because my inkling is that they're a waste of money and I would rather give the money saved to a bee charity or Manchester charity.

I like them on folk but I'm too fickle to get one. I'd be sick of it within a week.

Where have you been for the last twenty years. There are tattoo shops on every high street.

Probably more original to draw it on with a marker pen.

They're ubiquitous now so any interest to get one has long since left me. Unsure what I'd get anyway.

I like the idea of the bee, a bee is one of my favourite things ever.  If you feel like having a hidden bee, fill your boots, it's personal, part of being your own person with your history.

My advice is to tread softly because dreams fade less in the half-light.

I have no tattoos.

I think it's a good idea to let someone you don't know draw on you, and it will never come off.

I've never seen a tattoo that looks better than some skin.

What if a loved one dies because a giant bee fell on them?

A - C - A - Bee.  Right on the face.

Tattoo the loved one's name under the bee tattoo, to always remember that time they got crushed by a giant bee. Maybe some Batman-style SPLAT! POW! bubbles around it.

I think you should get a Liver bird instead.

Why not just wear a stripey jumper, and stick a couple of pipe cleaners in a hat.

The blurred out bit is a bee.

Just draw it on one of your favourite hats, and then you can have a bee in your bonnet.

If I get another, it will be a) small and b) a tramp stamp. Not just because I'm a wuss but also because I'm a fidget, and one of my mates has an amazing Old Man Gloom tat on one of his arms and I'm impressed at him managing to sit still for that long.

Dr Rock

If you ever go off Manchster, perhaps because you start liking Leeds more, simply get another bee tattoo, and a crown one. And say you are into the blues.

I assume he's already doing that.

I have never seen your skin, but I am 100% sure it looks good as it is and doesn't need improving.  Don't become a walking billboard for the mutilation industry.

You're way too old to be getting a tattoo, you daft John Sessions Lookalike cunt. If you * do* get one, go for a full on Charlie Manson-like swastika right in the middle of yer forehead.

Cheers, that's the greatest compliment I've had this year.

Why not get one? You want it, go for it.

I have a couple, they're small and hidden away and really not a big deal.

Same here.

New Lord of the Rings special effects "disappointing".

Fambo Number Mive

How are tattoes priced? I presume the main factors are the time they will take, the amount of ink used and how easy the area is to tattoo?

Never been to a tattoo parlour so just wondered.
