Tattoo's: Claire Byrne Live.

This doesn't have much to do with anything but any excuse to post a Rory Gallagher song

^ I prefer that version to the more famous live version from Live Tour '74. Nice and trippy.

Apparently, there is almost universal agreement in psychiatric research that there is a positive correlation between tattoos (and their increased quantity/ surface area/ visibility) and incidence of personality disorders and psychiatric illnesses.

I'm not judging anybody, nor am I saying 'if you have a tattoo you're mentally ill', but just throwing those findings into the debate.

There is also a positive correlation between criminal behaviour and tattoos, but that one is more complicated. It may be a result of underlying psychological pathology, or simply as a rite of passage in criminal culture; or some mixture of both.

Most of the papers quoted in the above report are dated well before the currant popularity of tattooing manifested, before tats became the norm/fashionable rather than the unusual and antisocial.

True, but there are plenty of contemporary papers too.

The nature of academic research is that original findings tend to be reported in the literature, and the corroboratory findings are not.

Nevertheless, there is plenty of contemporary, original research in that article.

Let's not all stick our heads in the sand. Personally, I find tattoos quite attractive, but there is extensive research which correlates tattoos (plus increased coverage and quantity) with psychiatric illness or personality disorders.

I find that fact to be disquieting, since I know so many healthy people with tattoos, but we cannot just avoid evidence based on our personal biases.

Yep, right there with ya. Just as you say, the majority of people I know with tats are mentally stable (at least to my untrained eye). I just found the hypothesis a bit far-fetched for this era where tats are fashionable.

Next time I'm asked "Are you of sound mind" I'll remember to declare my tatoo. Wonder if I could use that in a divorce case?

I'll give you that all right. She certainly has the potential though!

Not that lovely. The nasty spiteful hate she has written is really not lovely.

Would you really call her HATEFUL, though? She may be unpalatable, but hardly up there with the KKK, Waffen SS, and Khymer Rouge.


FFS man, get a grip. Hateful... :rolleyes:

Yes I would call her articles hateful. I didnt compare her to the KKK, Waffen SS, and Khymer Rouge. You are throwing in a silly comparison there that simply was not made. Her hate spewed articles against travellers and LGBT people have been well documented.

We need more people like Brenda Power expressing her views. It's a breath of fresh air.
Do you hate her?
She's right on the money for the most part in my opinion. You think differently and that's fine too.

Her 'hate' was directed at travellers who had beaten the crap out of pensioners in their own homes. Personally I would have strung them up.
