... I believe it is illegal to tattoo young people under the age of 18

Not just young people - anyone under the age of 18.

Pedantry rules okay!

We used to have a word for 'young people under the age of 18'. What was it? Oh aye - childer.

I'm pretty sure employers have the right to not hire and the right to fire people with visible tattoos

the invisible ones never really caught on

I believe you're correct btw. The only loophole is the Equality Act, and you would have to demonstrate that the tattoo was intrinsically linked to a religious belief system.

There's a beautiful irony in the fact that he has the Union Flag the right way up. Clearly a details man.

There must be something about leylists and spelling... I seem to remember some commemorative stuff produced for the "Seige of Dumcree" and when someone pointed out "i before e..." they tried to claim it was the original spelling.

The guy I'm referring to claims that he wanted the mistakes in his to be different.

A young gentleman of my acquaintance has a fantastic tattoo of a poem on his forearm. It contains three spelling mistakes and an apostrophe where should be none.
Interestingly he is 16 and I believe it is illegal to tattoo young people under the age of 18

I could be wrong Snipe but I think that with parental approval it is 16, or younger possibly A classic case of "I blame the parents" ....... and illiterate tattooists.

Anyone seen 'Memento'? A bloke with next to no short term memory following his wife's murder, gets important information tattooed. If you like film noir, well worth a look.

That's a handy idea for aged forgetful geezers. PM it to Baggy..................

I believe in this instance you are wrong Bagster.

I understand that under the Tattooing of Minors Act 1969 (in UK) or Tattooing of Minors Order 1979 (in NI), there are no exemptions for parental consent. The only exemptions are if the tattoo is deemed necessary for medical reasons and carried out by a medical practitioner or someone working under their supervision. What such medical reasons might be are beyond me, but perhaps there are circumstances when it might be justified.

If a tattooist tattoos a minor, the onus is on them to prove that they had reasonable cause to believe the tattooed person was over 18 at the time of the act.

Of course, I could be wrong ....... what would I know?

IIRC - tattoos are sometimes used in conjunction with plastic/reconstructive surgery. Eyebrows, etc.

Anyone recently got a tattoo and can recommend a place?

I know Baggy can't help with this one

FFFS Shammy, don't do it. Think 40 years ahead and imagine yerself in the emergency room, the clothes hanging aff ye and some junior doctor wondering what that mess in the ould doll us all about.

Anyway, as you know I associate tats with sad fat drunken orangebastards.

Well sure, I've said my piece, but your a full grown woman Shammy, doubtful that the advice of a rancid ould fart will change your destiny - a meeting with the inkman's sharp blade.

In fairness, I know a woman or two much older than you with a tat, some even look half decent.(not Mrs T I hasten to add)

I'm certainly not orange.

Certainly am fat and drunken, though.

Good shout, BR

Not that the age is an issue, but I wonder if I go for liposuction, would they tattoo a six pack on to my reduced torso for maximum effect?

On the other hand, the continued use of another type of six pack might soon distort that somewhat.

A good tattooist could probably sort that for you.

Might require a lot of ink though.

It would take some shlap of ink alright.

I bought stuff tonight to treat wooden furniture. 1L covers 3.5 to 5 metres squared of wood.

Assuming ink requires a similar ratio, my tattooist would be buying it in kegs, not bottles.
