Tattoos
Recently, on the warhammer forums (www.warhammer.org.uk), someone posted requesting Dark Angels art so he could get a tattoo done. Obviously, some people needed to weigh in, saying don't get a tattoo done, followed by others, suggesting people mind their own business. Below is the response from the first poster telling everyone else never to get a tattoo
Thanks for the advice. Obviously I feel differently. One of my friends had to have his tattoos removed after he got married and had children - otherwise on the beach he had to keep his clothes on. I appreciate that his tattoos would not have looked as nice as professional ones, after all they were done in prison, with ink pushed into the skin with a needle. Still a very stupid thing to do, as you have to live with them for the rest of your life.
On the other hand the [bip] liked them. People with tattoos were first into the gas chambers and their skins used to make lampshades.
Now, apart from the gratuitous nazis reference (which the forum auto-censored), thus killing the thread deader than godwin, I couldn't help feeling he'd drawn the wrong life lesson from this little experience.
Specifically, rather than inveighing against all tattoos, wouldn't he be better off advising strangers on the internet not to get sent to jail since, apart from everything else that can go wrong, you also get really, really bad tattoos.
