I'm too much of a wimp to have a tattoo.

not as many Russkis in Southend though mate !
I have both wrists tattooed.
Right wrist has a symbol that means "Honour, duty and family bounded by the universal force".
Left wrist has the Ouroboros symbol(snake eating it's own tail) surrounding a stylised triune symbol.
Soon to get my shoulders/scapulas done with a dragon over my right shoulder and a tiger over my left each sort of sitting on the shoulder and then going down over my back to where their tails will meet and intertwine down my spine.

I've got a poxy red rose on one shoulder, from where I bottled the main event (20 years ago). A red ****ing rose - and I'm from Yorkshire!
Soon to be replaced by a lovely Blades badge. That reminds me....

well he is only the 5th most active poster in the last 7 days, so i guess you could say he IS slowing down, but more in the way of an oil tanker than a ducati

He'll not manage it - it'd be like a junkie going cold turkey. Only worse.

Well I don't have one myself, but for the afficonados out there, this is how it's done, I lived in Japan some years and remembered these, the Japanese Yakuza - the organized crime gangs out there - and their full body tatoos:
"(Enlightened Rule) period (1868-1912) the Japanese government outlawed tattoos. Which then began a black market of tattoos.
Once again horimono became a way to display criminals. In 1945, tattooing was once again legalized by the occupation forces, but has retained its image of criminality. For many years, these tattoos were associated with the Yakuza, Japan’s most notorious mafia, and many businesses in Japan still ban customers with tattoos to this day.
You can still find traditional irezumi from specialists, but remember a horimono is very time consuming and expensive. They can take up to five years of weekly visits to complete and cost in excess of $30,000."1001 Japanese Tattoos: Full Body Tattoos of Horimono
