Freedom of expression or foolishness?...
I absolutely love tattoes! For me they're like street art (graffiti), not random scribbles or vandalism in public areas but works of art and/or visual expression when created with a genuine passion.
I haven't got the B's to get one myself and infact I never would - the idea of injecting ink, or anything for that matter, into my skin doesn't really appeal but I love looking at the original ideas people have permanently etched into various body parts and finding out the meanings behind them.
Recently tatts have been popping up everywhere since celebs such as David Beckham, Pink and Travis Barker made them "cool". I asked to see pictures of people's tatooes via Twitter the other day and have decided to post a few along with some others I found lurking. Most of them were pretty awesome and intricate, some just plain boring (and already reproduced to death), then came the others which made me wonder why the hell someone would put such rubbish on their skin and think it looked cool!

R: addiction gone wrong? I love my blackberry, but come on!
I'm not really a fan of big tattooes on women but if I ever lost my mind and decided to get one - these turntables would be right up my street.
Everytime I see this I laugh out loud, the tick doesn't even look right. I hope for his sake this is actually felt-tip pen and the photo was staged otherwise he had better keep his top on all summer.
