Astro themed tattoos

A lot of effort put into this one. Although I have a general distaste for tattoos, I really can appreciate this one.

I'm not a fan of tattoos either - at all. I would never consider one in a million years, but to each their own. I hope this bloke wants it in later life. My guess is that he hasn't any choice now. He's also probably OK with that.

It is funny with tattoos - most like them or hate them - I have not met many that are indifferent.

The good side is that he could never rob a bank.

As some already know, I was a Tattoo Artist for over 20 years (16 years as a professional in a Studio), and I can honestly say that I don't personally like his Tattoo.

But like Asi said above, I too don't judge the exterior. And I'm glad sensible people don't either or I wouldn't have worked for Kerry Packer and Hector Crawford, or have some very high profile public figure friends. None of who were ever bothered by my many Tattoos.

I don't care if anyone has them or not. Same as if they wear Earrings, or drive a Ford, or use an iPhone, or are Chinese, or are vegetarian, or are a Muslim, or whatever.

I just don't particularly like his design.

Earring wearing Chinese Muslim Vegetarians should not be using their iPhone while driving a Ford or any other vehicle. It is just plain dangerous!!

Funnily, the most common first name in the world is Mohammed.
The most common last name in the world is Wong.

I wonder how many Mohammed Wong's there are
Probably not even one.

That's a fantastic looking tatt.

I wouldn't copy it though as I prefer to design my own original ideas.

I can't stand the things especially when females get big tats on their bicepts......yuk, but I am just old fashioned I guess. When I was a young fella working in the North West of WA, a bloke I worked with was desperate to join the local Coffin Cheaters chapter and got a big "Death or Glory tat done on his arm. Problem was the hot sun/his biochemistry kept dissolving the ink on the D and GL so his tat usually read EATH or ORY . Poor bugga was constantly ribbed by the rest of us and had to go back to the tatoo palour regularly to get it re-inked.
