So @madmaori just thank your lucky stars you are not my son

Tahr it is funny the things that have a lasting impression on a young fellah. I am not anti tattoos but I don't have any (even given that I spent two years in Singapore as a young soldier). My old man had a tattooed likeness of an old girlfriend on his right forearm and frequently told me when I was young that he had regretted getting it done. He repeated this often across most of his life. I attribute my not wanting to echo his regret to my never having bothered.
