Tattoos

Lots of people now have tattoos, how many of you regret it? I wanted one as a teenager, I am now, well, oldish, and I am really glad that I didn't go ahead with my teenage desire.

I doubt it ladybird, i meant because a restaurant is geared towards meeting the requirements of the customer, not the other way round, if you were a restaurant manager that worried your target clientele would be put off coming, you'd attempt to minimise that risk. Even if you had no preference yourself, you have to consider your customers if you want to make money.
In the same way, 'old man' pubs will often employ bar staff with certain physical characteristics and look to exploit them, the same would be a little out of place in your 'swanky' winebars trying to put on a more sophisticated front.

Good post by pa_ula.
If I could perhaps give you a short history of the tattoo seen through the eyes of sqad over a period of half a century, which may go some way to explain the position of the oldies to the tattoos.
In the 50's men had tattoos as a sign of masculinity but women didn't, they wore skirts but not tattoos as a sign of femininity and that is how one differentiated the sexes, on the absence of tattoos and the presence of the skirt.
In the early 60's women as a method aof adornment wore bracelets around their ankles and these women, rightly or wrongly, were looked upon as women of easy access or at worse....prostitutes.
In the early 70's women then started to tattoo their bodies, sparingly at first and then become more prolific in the following decade and hence the older generation of men were reminded of women of the early 50's of easy access and possibly women of the night.
Indeed tattooing of women is indeed a fashion of some question, but generally accepted, except for the older generation who's connotation of the tattoos of women remains.
I hope this helps.

It depends on so many variables - trhe individual, the design and the tattoo(s) are all so very different, that i can love them on some, and hate them on others.
As a music writer, I mix with tattooed people a lot, and i see some wonderful artwork that looks spectacularly good on the recipient, and some rather ill-advised ones as well - just like life in general really.
i remember the first time i saw what is now referred to as a 'tramps stamp - a design on a girl's cocyx which i saw on a gorgeous holiday rep in Spain about ten years ago - they were nothing like as common then. When she bent over to pick up her drink off a low table, her tee-shirt rode up a little, and there was this delicate Chinese symbol, followed by her goldren brown skin, i thought it was wonderully erotic - but have seen dozens since that are anything but.
I personally would look ludicrous with one - but i have no objection to other people - but then again, i rarely to object to anyting other people choose to do to adorn themsevles.
