Ink.

I have noticed that a lot of people (including all footballers) have tattoos these days. I personally dont have a particular general opinion about whether I like tattoos or not. On some people I think 'yeah that's a great tattoo, well done'; on others, not so much.

I have considered on occasion whether or not I should get some 'ink'. I thought that I would end up getting one while I was travelling. You know, the perfect opportunity to do something a bit rebellious while on the other side of the world. Sadly I never bumped into that magical maori man with his bamboo needle at the ready - bit annoyed to be honest, thought it was a dead cert.

I am of the opinion though that you should get something that means something to you..or at least looks a little bit cool. I heard lady sovereign on the radio the other day had got 11:11 tattooed on her, because she apparently wakes up and sees that time a lot - now if that's not a good enough reason, then I just don't know what is.

In light of this little debate, I have come across the tattoo which I think could be the one for me..the start of my relationship with freedom of expression and vaseline. Hope you like it.
