Nearly one in three Britons aged 16-44 has a tattoo, according to research.
A massive boom in body art has been led by celebrities, footballers and other high-profile figures over the past couple of decades.
A fifth of all adults have a permanent tattoo, but this rises to a 29 per cent of men and women aged 16-44, the study revealed.

Which is why I NEVER look to these people for fashion guidance. Or lifestyle guidance.

The tat removal biz will be a big biz. ...if it isn’t already.

Or investment priorities. Pretty much anything, really.

My son-in-law did some holiday work with UPS. In order to wear shorts (Phoenix) he had to cover his calf tribal thingy with an ace bandage. He said it never ocurred to him that the tattoo could affect employment. Just plain dumb.

It is so sad to see young women with pretty skin that is permanently marked by a tattoo. They would be so much more attractive if they left their skin in its natural, youthful state.
Besides, ladies, that tattoo of roses you just got on your pretty young skin is going to look like a hanging basket in a decade or so.

People used to get tattoo's to rebel. Now they get them to conform.

Everyone who sees my tattoo gives me compliments. No regrets at all.
And, no. I’m not getting another one.
THIS thing hurt like HELL!

Amen and Amen!
Nothing lowers my opinion of a woman faster than seeing body ink.

Stupid is as stupid does... do these folks expect to wear bell bottoms and platform shoes the rest of their lives?

I'm pretty anti-tattooing anyway. But the one thing I can't understand is couples dating (for lack of a better word) and getting their bf/gf’s name tattooed on them.
If my wife had a tattoo that said “property of Larry” I'd be pretty pissed even if it was decades old.

Silly Brits. Why would they regret permanently marring their bodies for decades to come in order to adhere to a passing fashion fad?
