Decided to have the same tattoo as my Grandad William Dawber, he had a picture of Esther Williams in the war and had it tattooed.
I decided it was special and had it done.

Your Grandad would be so proud that you had done that in his memory.

Comment by: Wigan Mick on 9th February 2023 at 10:04

Jake you must be daft to do that.

Tattoos are only for sailors, convicts and prostitutes. They portray a bad image. They aren't clever.

Well it is Jake's body after all, if he finds this tattoo an honour in memory of his grandad and he likes it and had it done professionally, then so be it. The tattoo industry has come a long way from when it had and was visited by folks of bad reputation.

Jake, you must have been very proud of your grandad to have had the tattoo done, so look on it with pride and enjoy it along with your memories, and ignore any pejorative remarks.

Well said, Cyril.

I am very proud of my grandad and I am made up with the tattoo.. George I think your stereotypical mind is disgusting and you need a reality check, you wouldn’t say that to somebody in person with tattoos who isn’t any of the above…
Wigan Mick, I must be daft why? What’s your problem fella, is it your body? You must be daft commenting on my posts behind a keyboard, dosser.
Thanks Cyril and thanks Irene! It’s all about family and keeping those who we love who have passed in our minds!

Well said Jake.Good for you.

Fools will be fools Edna..

And there's no bigger fool than one who walks round with pictures drawn all over him.

Jake I would say it to you face, and I would also say that Irene, Cyril and Edna are also daft but they know it already.

I wonder if George and Mick have ever done anything daft in their youth… I am sure they have. It’s nothing to do with either of you what Jake has done - it’s his arm whatever you think about tattoos. Seems to me George only comes on here to pass scathing comments. Plus it doesn’t take much for Mick to poke his nose in either. My dad had a tattoo on his arm from his Army days it’s what young men did… Jake shouldn’t have to explain why he’s got his tattoo done, it’s entirely up to him. I’m not daft either for defending his right to do as he wants to his own body. I have seen far worse than that on men and women. Their choice their body...

Tattoo's have been going on for centuries, I have none but its up to the person, its a free world, if you wanna laugh, laugh if you wanna cry, cry , its your choice

Mick would you also " say it to you face (sic ) " , if Jake , Irene , Cyril or Edna were 20 stone Maori Prop forwards doing the Haka ?

Comment by: Cyril on 12th February 2023 at 12:56

Edna, Irene and I could call Mick daft too, but we would get in trouble for abusing the afflicted. ¦;¬)

I don’t think Graham and Wigan Mick have anything else to do.. i wonder if it’s because they don’t have any body worth remembering so they spill hate comments
