Tattoos and the English

And Irish people aren't?

Its a fashion.

People like different things.

Apparently it is indeed true that tattoos are more prevalent in the UK. A massive 5% more.

Saucy sources:

That link states 40% of UK residents have tattoos (though I've no doubt that also includes lots of none nationals, including possibly an Irish person or two)

This one says 35% of Irish do.

Something something statistical relevance blah blah or blah.

In ireland Tatoos were a rare sight 20 years ago now everyone is copying each other getting them.

Those that get them on their neck are going the extra mile to ensure everyone knows their scumm.

Everyone? Not me.

But if people liked different things would they not use a Biro?

As for the correlation between the English and tattoos, I suppose Brexit is a clear indication of the logic, intelligence and thought applied to the adoption of permanent self harm, whether it be fiscal or "artistic".

Gym I'm going to in Dublin has all sorts of awful tattoos on blokes. Chelsea and Liverpool ones etc. Don't think we are in a position to judge any body.

What disease is that?

Stick up a pic of yourself so you can be judged.

It's not something that's not much aired really, a bit like STD's. It's manifested in all sorts of horrible ways though.

From what I'm seeing, it would appear more irish under a certain age now have more tats than don't.
