Sleeve tattoos

I don't like them.
90% of the time they look like a dog has puked all down their arm.

My arl fella was in the Royal Navy and covered in terrible tattoos. Sometime in the 90s laser removal came out but they couldn't get rid of green ink, so he had green blobs all over his arms and belly. To cover the, up he just got more tattoos. It's a racket, I swear.

Crying.

No offence to anyone who has sleeve tattoos but I can't stand them in the main. They make me think of ice gem heads like Liam Ridgewell from absolute non-discript towns around the UK whose main aim of a weekend is to plague their nearest 'Vodka Rev's' wearing a polo buttoned to the neck.

It seems to be in discussions I have had.

Fact is that he return to normalised tattooing is part of a social search for ritual meaning by return to pre Christian body marking in a world in which Christian ritual has lost its resonance.

Thus we have the tatted childrens names here baptism once worked or the pain of the needle where penance worked or the Sanskrit mantras where prayer worked etc etc etc but do most tattooed people understand that? I doubt it.

It is at one and the same time deeply cultural and emblematic of our age whilst being shallow and fashion led.

True, this is exactly why I got my life-sized Linford Christie tat.
