Odd tattoo

t4tomo

I saw a cycle courier chap this am with F**K TAXIS (without the *s) down the back of his calves (one word on each).

I was wondering does he have a death wish by inviting taxis to drive aggresively at him?

or is he not a supporter of the welfare state and all things associated but didn't pay attention in his spelling lessons?

I won't dig out the picture, but we did see a.chap photographed, ahem, loving, a Rangerover on here a while back. Perhaps this courier is a member of the same club? who are we to judge?

Ah yes, the man who really loved his range rover, I remember it well - thanks for sparing us Simon.

A couple of years ago I was up in Glasgow for my cousin's wedding. One of the other dinner guests had tattoed on the fingers of his left hand the letters G-E-R-S. Assuming him to be a frequent visitor at Ibrox I made some banal comment. Clearly I'd got the wrong end of the stick, and as he clenched his fists in rage I noticed the tattoos on his right hand spelt F-I-N.........

Probably for the avoidance of doubt.
Did you get a look at his feet ? To incorporate both feet he would have needed 'tootsies'.

he'd lost a finger off his right hand then?

I think he tried to give it to me for mentioning the 'wrong' team.

Now if it had been his right hand with GERS, the left could have been HWIN. Now that WOULD have been an odd tattoo.

Like CJCP! You have a twisted mind!

Hmmmmm, field (cow?) definitely some mud on the floor there......if one were to connect the dots as it were.....hmmmmm.

medoramas

Think: someone had to take that picture...

Libraio

That poor, poor Range Rover. Had to be scrapped after it had it's picture taken...

medoramas

Maybe the pic is from Autotrader?

Giraffoto

Saw a guy on the beach in Ibiza some years back with "Mancester City" (original spelling) tattooed on his arm. Class act

Gussio

There is a courier knocking about with STR8 on one calf and EDGE on the other. Looks pretty neat.

true story

my dad managed a haulage company an had a few young trainee mechanics working for him, one of them liked getting tattoos. He walks in one day proudly showing off his new "tat" he had "Made in Brittain" on his upper arm..... yes that's how it was spelt

Straight edgers always have the wickests tattoos I think.

Regarding the spelling mistakes it makes me wonder if it's the tattoo owner's idea or an error in the art act... :-D

They don't drink, they don't shag around, they don't do drugs and their music is rubbish (imho). I guess getting tats is the only way they get a buzz.
One of my cousins was straight edge and she was a boring so an so face to face, she could only communicate if there was a screen in front of her. All of her friends were the same. She said they would get together, play their rubbish music really loud and text each other instead of holding conversations.

Weird way for teens/young adults to be if you ask me.

Now that she's not straight edge anymore she is left covered in tats, unable to hold her drink and unable to hold a conversation. She also likes pop music now!?

His mum might have been called Mrs Brittain...

Probably not though

Wouldn't fancy that myself, looks exhausting.

That sounds like it rules.

Fingerbobs

Once saw a man with L T F C tattooed on the knuckles of one hand.

On the other was E S U K.

He used to intermesh his fingers as a chat up line when he caught a girls eye.

Class!!!
