they are covered to stop them drying out too quickly, scabs pull the colour out of them...my tattooist uses surgical wrap, its like removing a layer of skin when you pull it off

God, I wouldn't have one done in Turkey. Who's to say whether their hygiene standards are as strict as ours? Where's the comeback if it all goes horribly wrong?

Chop, you've got me again first you said it was a nice tat, then you say it looks bloody awful are you referring to that paticular tat or just tats in general

Hi bubba, he's got a few tats all done in england and he thought the standards in turkey were better than england plus it was done in our 4* complex. Hubby was impressed about the standard of hygiene.

My Tattooist told me to keep my covered till the following morning take off the cling film surgical wrap and gently wash with warm water and a flannel

Making sure you remove all the blood if any and the clear liquid from the skin doing this will stop the skin scabbing up badly

Worked a treat : no big scabs forming

Chav doesnt stand for anything !

Its a word gypsies have been using for years, just means 'child' as in 'thats my little chavvy over there, bare knuckle boxing with my wife etc...' - until the recent UK chav scene thing, it wasnt derogatory in any way, just part of the gypsy / pikey language.

I dont even know how it got from small gypsy children covered in stolen gold to slightly larger children covered in Argos gold plate.

HISTORY LESSON OVER.

I don't get it.

You tattoo people get scarred for life with some pretend chinese 'mystical' symbol or whatever that supposedly means so much to you and 'your essence' but just makes me think '****', but always in some language that no-one can understand. Why not have the english word 'peace' or whatever rubbish burnt on your skin if it means so much.

I'm afraid to say that the vast majority of people I've met with tattoos appear under educated. Please persuade me of the merits of this wierd vain mutilation custom?

well Ted, you are entitled to your own opinion but for the record I am educated to degree level with numerous professional qualifications to my name. The only script i have is in English; no Chinese or otherwise...accepted it can certainly be considered vain but its for me, not you and i guess that the real point

as far as getting it, why worry if you don’t get it so what, don’t get a tattoo

LOL

Why bother to explain?

You either get it or you don't

It may be fair to say that many undereducated people have tattoos (often DIY disasters at that), but its not fair to say that the majority of people with tattoos are undereducated.

Since the beginning of time people have adorned themselves with, amongst other things, tattoos.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen burberry in the British Museum of Natural History

chav stands for Council House And Violent in todays society. That's the meaning that i was getting at. Didn't know it related to gipsies. Would rather have had history lessons like that than ones about the industrial revolution.
