Tattoos on females

I have never liked them, but just lately I'm not able to walk more than a few yards without seeing yet another tattoo on a woman

Each weekend, apart from this one there have been wedding do's nearby. There they are, in their finest clothes, loveliest hats, hair and make up done immaculately, looking great, but I reckon 25% of them have eirther a tattoo on their shoulder, arm, or leg/ankle  , kills the whole effect. And at Morrison's this morning, same thing, tattoos left, right and centre     

Compare that to my visit to Great Dixter last week where there were coach loads of Dutch, Germans, Canadians and Japanese, and I don't think I saw one tattoo there

Is it a British thing?


oh, and I don't like them on blokes either

Tattoos are ghastly... no exceptions....

I can't stand em on wimmin but don't mind certain ones on a bloke ( my name across their forehead  ).

I am blemish free 

[Miss Demeanour]

Have to say in the gym changing room you can't help but notice the amount of tatts on the wimmin. Small ones just on the hip bone , or on the ankle. But there are some with lots and I can't stand the ones with a tatt just visible on their breast 

But at least 50 % of them have them

I thought it was 'Susan' but I never figured where the 'u' came from....

I was changing next to a woman this morning ( in the gym) and she had an anchor tattoo on her foot. The topside ( not the sole ) ...what do you call that bit by the way  ? Is there a term for it , not the ankle , the sole, the toes but the rest of it 

Anyways she had an anchor on her right foot and on her shoulder blade a picture of a mermaid 

Looked ridiculous

No, the instep is between the heel and the ball (and no Barman, that's not my f***ing knee) I mean on the bottom of the foot

Oh noes tho.... luckily I have a good memory like..... 

Father was a shoe shop manager for most of his life ~ I promise you "Instep" is the top bit of the foot between the toes and the ankle. It is the bot where the shoe laces do up and hurts if you have the laces too tight.
The bit underneath the foot is the "Arch".

Pirate is right!
