Apparently, stimulating debate on a discussion forum is not considered a positive contribution.
Attempting to perform a character assassination of someone whose views you don't share, rather than actually responding in a similar fashion seems to be perfectly ok... How strange.
For the record, and to those that accuse me of trolling, if you look at my posting history you'll see that I've posted on several subjects - including helping someone with his tiling this week. Surely a troll would be disagreeing with people on any subject for the sake of an argument.
It's quite well known that I have a strong dislike of tattoos and cats, so if there's a thread involving either, there's a chance I might proffer my views. That doesn't make me a troll... It makes me a lot more consistent than the fickle yes men that'll change their views at the drop of a hat so they can feel part of the gathering lynch mob.
Edit: and whoever defaced that beautiful back should be charged with statutory assault!!
[i]I'm waiting in the vane hope that a debate might break out. [/i]
Taking some pleasure in the fact that even those who are educated and have no ink can use [i]vane[/i] when they mean to use [i]vain[/i].
I won't, however, go on to assume this applies to *everyone* without a tattoo, just the person making the mistake.
I have nothing to add....except the mythical crab...

That's funny, it's not that long ago you appear to have been [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/got-my-first-tattoo-today-haters-look-away/page/5#post-5063583 ]defending[/url] Shibby's contributions on another inky thread. I'm sure there's a subtle difference in there somewhere though.
Hello shangelang,
Did you call Mind?
They are really quite good.
If you want a chat I'm there for you baby.
Maybe we can work on this tenseness and animosity I'm sensing.
so trying to provoke "trolls" is not "trolling" ?
Helping is not trolling
Bit early to be offering handjobs isn't it iolo.its a nice day,go ride your bike mate 🙂
I don't think your helping will be of any help iolo...
ah no, helping is baiting
I'll just leave this here

One can only try and be nice
But shibbly, the way you speak here you clearly do have issues.
Do you want to talk me through your qualifications iolo?
Bsc in civil engineering. You?
According to Shibboleth, less educated people get tattoos. Coming from a man who has sat on the Internet for a few days arguing with strangers over a point that lost its way a long time ago
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.
Incidentally, wasn't Shibboleth the name of that massive cracking in the tate gallery posing as art? A fan of something useless that was only designed to be looked at and for people to comment on??
I assume the mods are taking a Thunderdome approach to this thread...
...anyway, I'll check back when we have started posting pictures of our penises.
...and none of this e-penis nonsense. I want to see properly measured penises, so we can finally sort out who is the Alpha Dog here.
A letter to the powers that be - 12 pages of shit, most of which is now just sniping and ugly jibes.
Fantastic forum content...
You've let the forum down; you've let the other window lickers down; but most of all, you've let yourself down iolo.
This statement is bang out of line.
Bsc in civil engineering.
That's fantastic. I am, however, at a loss as to how you've made that leap from studying civil engineering to diagnosing mental health issues, and not even face-to-face - like most doctors of psychology - but via an internet forum.
Care to expand?
What have I missed?
My mistake - make that 13

Pipped me to the post and put forward in a much less confrontational manner.
Well done...
PiknMix I agree with you.
Shizzlemadizzle, please read this thread again, especially the bits you wrote and tell me if these are the rantings of a sane man.
If I had a leg tattoo it'd be a 1940's moll' from a US fighter bomber.
Would that be ok? I can't have any tats though as I need to go to Jewish heaven 8)
Would that be ok?
You should start a thread on it...
Hora, don't tell anyone you got it done. You'd be fine.
No I'd start a topic on here (like has been done before with a tat)
Then I'd wear shorts alot.
In the gym sauna I'd field questions on the meaning of it to me and why I had it done (in my gym I'm literally the only human body that isn't covered in a tattoo).
😀

How did that work out for you? A couple of people have tried to engage you in debate as you claim you desire, and you've ignored them.
if you look at my posting history you'll see that I've posted on several subjects - including helping someone with his tiling this week.
By that logic, Oscar Pistorius is innocent; there are positively [i]billions [/i]of people that he hasn't shot.

No, it doesn't. You trolling makes you a troll, your views are irrelevant.
If you actually did as you claimed - posited potentially unpopular viewpoints in order to stimulate conversation - then I'd wager you'd actually be a valued member of this community. But instead we end up in 12 page threads where every time a discussion is actually in danger of getting remotely interesting, you come wading back in regurgitating the same tripe all over again because you've not been the centre of attention for ten minutes. Newsflash, as evidenced by the number of reported posts I woke up to this morning, this hypothetical "silent majority" you insist is nodding along in silent agreement with the sage Shibboleth is actually doing its level best to ignore you and just get on with talking with other adults.
Umpteen warnings for "negative use of the forum" just get ignored. Increasingly long bans have no effect on you. We've asked you time and again to stop baiting people or being offensive, and you either cannot or will not desist. You're not the first, and it only ever ends one way.
And just to seal the deal, after being asked in public to tone it down, your response is to make obnoxious comments about mental health issues.

Jan shoulda shaved his bonce, that's for sure...
So is he banned then?
He's probably fapped himself unconscious.

That is awesome. Nothing else to clutter the message. Fantastic.
I had to google it.
It's Jan Hammer.

(in my gym I'm literally the only human body that isn't covered in a tattoo).
I always feel like that whenever I take the kids swimming. I've also concluded from perusing the 'art' on display, that about 99.98% of tattoos must have been a decision made while really really drunk, and then applied by someone even more drunk!

Every other bloke has a City 'arms'(?) tattoo'd on the side of their lower leg.
Sat in the sauna I feel like a freak.
trying to suss out the best arrangement of mirrors to be able to appreciate the above bodily disfiguring back tat
reverse selfie and instagram to see yer own tat puts it right up there with biro checking tat and partially legless scorpion tat in the pointless stakes.

You could have shaved him, FFS.
No one likes a hairy back...

Indeed. This is always paired with the names of your kids in gothic script, normally on the forearm.
You can actually tell which north western town you were in just by looking at the lower legs of the blokes in the local swimming pool. For instance if you go to the (rather good) wavepool in Blackburn, if you don't have a Blackburn tattoo you could get lynched. I put a temporary one on my shoulder when i take the kids. This is all well and good when in Blackburn, but in a Bolton or Burnley swimming pool could get you killed
I tell you - its a minefield.
In Burnley dont you have a stick on beard and wear cotton white boxer shorts in the pool?
Only the women.
I'm not sure how it works in Burnley to be honest. I think there are teams of anthropologists doing studies on it at the moment.
The kids wanted to go to the Sandcastle pool in Blackpool. It looks good, but again…. you need either a temporary Rangers or a Celtic tattoo depending on which week you go. And if you get the wrong one for the wrong week, you get glassed!
We went to Blackpool pleasure beach a couple of years ago. All the girls had bleached-blonde hair and the blokes were all 6ft+ in tracksuits and Polish/Eastern European.
Its the only chance/time I could have fitted in.
Did you get a Kiss me Quick hat, and then get leathered on WKD blue?
And the winner is?
No one.
If we ever need proof that the internet can be an excellent way to waste time this thread could be used as a shining example.
[i]He's probably fapped himself unconscious. [/i]
I laughed 🙂
Nobody won. One guy was being obnoxious. That's all.
By that logic, Oscar Pistorius is innocent; there are positively billions of people that he hasn't shot.
LIKES
Have you no tats Binners you look like the sort to have a Bulldog somewhere on you
I went to the sandcastle with my kids wow was there some bad tats on display in there.
By that logic, Oscar Pistorius is innocent; there are positively billions of people that he hasn't shot.
<TJ mode>
Proof?
</TJ mode>
😉
I've no tats myself fella. Tempted as I've always been by a bulldog, a St Georges cross, with a scroll bearing the legend 'these colours don't run' underneath it. I would do, but I avoid pain at all costs, and I've been reliably informed that having someone stick a needle in you for hours at a time tends to smart a bit.
I have actually designed/illustrated a few for mates who've had them done though. To a slightly higher standard than what generally tends to be on display in the Sandcastle 😀
Yes I am same as you kinda of like them but no desire to suffer pain to be more beautiful. I am , like you, perfect just as I am
Thought I'd post this feel good story given the thread 🙂

(This one always catches my eye because the bride looks really similar to a mate's wife)
Indeed. Theres a clause in my modelling contract too, so my hands are tied

When did you bleach your hair?
😛
I've not bothered to read through all the posts, but saw this yesterday and thought it fits with the title nicely:

In Burnley, all children have the club shirt tatted onto their bodies at birth.
This means that you can instantly tell the age of any Burnley resident by the sponsor on their chest.
Just ask to look, it's not considered rude.
Glad I looked at this thread.
I love a happy ending.
When did you bleach your hair?
Pubic? Always it looks grey otherwise.
465 hundrid!!!!
Landing strip?
For the minge-starship?
It looks as if I'll have to pick up the baton...
I can understand these...
...but most tats resemble a juvenile act of self-vandalism. Yes it's your skin and your choice, but you really ought to think first.
The 'good' thing about tats is its the persons body. They get to choose what they do with it. I'd rather most of the population had tats if none smoked.
I like you Cougar, you the becoming a mod is imo the best thing that's happened to this forum, it took the pressure off Mark (btw Drac is a very fair and reasonable mod too imo) But imo you are wrong when claim.
If you actually did as you claimed - posited potentially unpopular viewpoints in order to stimulate conversation - then I'd wager you'd actually be a valued member of this community.
Mark simply doesn't have the patience to tolerate people who make waves. Kaesae comes to mind as the obvious example.
Oi!!! ernie!!! Stop creeping to the mods! Otherwise, you're for it!!!

Some of those ^^ must be henna Shirley? ❓
No, they're a French artist who's name escapes me.
They are beautiful, but I'm not sure I'd want one as a tattoo.
Out of interest (because they look pretty good in the pics above) do they still fade/blur/change colour over time? Eg will they still look that good in 20 years?
@ binners 😀
No I mean it, I'm impressed with Cougar's determination to be fair and tolerant, despite the fact that he has had a pop at me on more than one occasion. Ditto Drac. I don't mind saying that it took me a while to suss out Drac because of his blunt and often a little abrasive manner, and his sarcasm, but realised a while back that he attempts to avoid wherever possible to take "administrative action" against "offenders". That should be commended imo.
Oscar Pistorius is innocent
Think you mean Oliver?
Xoli needles is the artist.
someone chopped half her arm off
someone chopped half her arm off
No, that's just some more orsum "art". A trompe-l'œil of a tat, if you will.
