I'd love a tattoo but at the tender age of 73 I don't know if I'd be able to suit one. My son Sherman thinks it is an awful idea for me to get a tattoo but I can't help feeling like I'm missing out. What are your opinions on tattoos? Should I go for it?

Taking the mickey? I can assure you I'm not

Spangler's wife's tattoo reminds me of the opening credits to 'Bewitched' and that was my absolute favourite programme when I was little.
It's beautiful.
They all are, and all totally individual.

Go for it! I intended to when I turned 50, but never got round to it. That was quite a while ago. But maybe I will yet do it.

Trolling? I promise I'm not a troll

EthelTheTank Thu 08-Oct-20 19:15:31

I'm a bit confused

Don't worry about it.
It's a really lovely thread, so who cares?
It's wasted my whole day when I was planning to paint my kitchen plinthes. Or plinths.

Get a tattoo, i got a tattoo of my grandsons names on my wrist last year. I'm nearly 65 and dont regret it. I wanted something permanent. I'm thinking of having another one.

On meeting for the first time, the young woman who keeps me, and my house, in order, I thought wearing a rather colourful lace blouse. It took some weeks for me to workout the lace blouse was in fact tattoos the length of her arms. Knowing my aversion to tattoos, my family found it very funny.

Ethel - with reference to Sherman being cockney rhyming slang for pleasuring oneself, I was reminded of others that you may want to consider.
Lamb shank - I find this difficult, as I am a life long vegetarian, but MrC does love a LS. I do them in the microwave.
See also Barclays - This was Kenneth Williams' favourite term for onanism.

Sherman is the name of my son, not a joke. I understand how along with my username it could be misinterpreted.

I don't know what I did wrong?

It doesn't matter!!!!
It's just a chat site.

Fanny you were joining in the fun until another poster said '2 out of 10'.
