    I've never got my head around tats! Why inject potentially harmful sh*te into your body, when you are trying to keep fit and healthy??

    Same reason as you pour it down your neck in the pub or stuff it into your face at the takeaway I suppose. Least with a tattoo you have something to show for the money and its non weight gaining.

    Paul,
    Food & drink, in the correct amounts / ratio, are essential to life; tattoos are not!!
    My problem is in keeping the amount / ratio at the correct level!!

    Or like smoking and fighting. Utterly pointless and with several drawbacks, but still "cool".

    We're a complex species.

    Nah, I'd say bad analogies...
    Tattoos aren't addictive or cause cancers etc.
    I've not been under the influence whilst having them
    I've not been bothered about 'cool' for the last 20 years. Yet 50% of my tattoos are under 5 years old.

    Drawbacks... none I know of. Mine are in positions where they are easily covered up and usually are, they're rarely displayed as they are done for me.

    and I fancy another. Preferably 'Sak Yant' style.

    Nothing nasty in the ink, if there was the cobra venom would kill it

    True, I did hesitate when putting that. But it was in response to a comparison with smoking. Not a lot compares with that addiction

    No you're right, it's supposed to be more addictive than heroine. Scary stuff. I remember sitting in a lecture on lung cancer and the Professor giving the lecture told the audience what they already knew - that smoking increases your risk of lung cancer by more than 50 times. Once the lecture finished, scores of people rushed to the exits to go outside and smoke.
