I chose to be an individual. I reckon pretty soon I'l be the only person left in the world without a tattoo.

Tat on the neck = crim
Visible tat on chick = slapper

Seriously, I thought about getting a tat once or twice (and still might, a Cross of St George on one shoulder and a Silver Fern on t'other), but it's hard to shake off the old prejudices.

The other thing is context.
It looks good at twenty, but what's it gonna say about you at forty?
It's not like they rub off...

I think the bigger stigma is "tramp stamps"

But I know on the right girl and tastefully done it's pretty awesome. And reverse tramp stamps are the bees knees. Yum

I have never seen so many people with tattoos as I have here in Malta. I would say that probably 60-70% of the population have one.

I had my first one done this year, inner forearm. Am contemplating getting more, but non below the elbow as I often work suit and tie professions.

Apparently Nz is the most tattooed bunch of pot smokers in the world
