Just read in the paper of a young girl who had applied to British Airways for a job and at the interview she admitted she had four tattoos 'they are discreet and girlie'. Her interview was terminated at that point.

I wonder what Gransnetters think.

To get the ball rolling I think BA were right - tattoos in my opinion are cheap and tacky. I am waiting to be bombarded by tattoo lovers ! wink

I am seriously thinking of having one for my 65th birthday. Maybe something floral...is there a Cath Kidston tattoo ?

You need to be asking yourself Suzie will you still be pleased with your proposed tattoo when you are 80 ? If the answer is yes go ahead, if not why don't you treat yourself with the money you would have spent at the Tattoo Parlour.

I wanted fluorescent socks when I was 14, I'm pleased now that I never got them grin

suzied just about any reputable Tattooist can take a tattoo from your own design. You should discuss it first, taking the proposed design in. I can't see why a Cath Kidston should be a problem
