My personal opinion is that they are "cartoon cancer" but that's my opinion and not someone else's.
When I see someone with a tat I wonder why but I realise that like makeup they are a form of expression of individuality and a finger-up to anyone who doesn't like them.
I can also see Streak's point in wearing them as a personal and private form of pride in his family.
But as far as getting one goes I would have to be paralytic drunk and ten Maoris would have to hold me down and I would vomit on them for their trouble.
Also, I am trying to remember the name of the guy who used to play for the Penrith Panthers - a slim guy with peroxide white hair who played a great fullback's game while giving away about 30 kilos to most other players, anyway he had a large tat on his chest that was an embarrassing misspelling, something like "COURIGE" but that wasn't it - does anyone remember this and clarify it for me? You would think the tattooist would check first!
And what is it with people who have a tat somewhere on the back where they can't see it themselves?
Anyway, each to their own and I would gladly be friends with Totally Tattooed Terence than one of those lying scumbag lawyers in pin-striped suits and perfect hairstyles and hands that have never been dirty or scratched their arse in public.
