Full Sleeve Tattoos

Post by equinox » Tue May 30, 2023 7:16 pm

For anyone that has one or even both arms inked up: Do you feel stupid now that they are out of fashion?

Good OP, been wondering about this one myself, at least you can shave a beard off with little hassle.

What about the tribal zig zag stuff, with bits of leopard skin print mixed in though, they must feel stupid now?

Think footballers have then if they feel left out. The strong willed individual ones don’t. Non footballers have them because they think it makes them look like a footballer. Can hardly ever tell what’s on them. Think most of the ideas are from the artists and they just get told to fill it up as quickly as possible. The worse tattoos imo are a great big written speech anywhere on the body. Who’s going to read all that. By the time you have read it you might as well have been told it.

Considered it in my early 20s, ended up getting a small Burnley tattoo and don’t exactly regret it but glad I didn’t get anything big, doubt I’d get another now but only because there’s nothing I want, not because of others opinions

Tattoos have been around a lot longer than football has. Going out of fashion? Never. Fashion is a personal and individual choice just as tattoos are. I have a sleeve tattoo and still love the look after 10 years or so. It still looks great and is something I designed myself so it is unique.

Always had a love hate attraction to tattoo's . I remember my old mans tattoo's WW2 era one on each forearm, Blue ink with a bit of faded colour, you had to stretch his skin to work out what they were.
In the 80's when I was in my teens , the fashion were forearm and biceps .Only really rough people had neck/face or hand tattoos
The designs were rubbish like desert islands, bull fighters, bulldogs, England flags etc, plus the usual home made rubbish.
The 90's saw Celtic bands , chest tattoo's, tramp stamps , dolphins on lasses shoulders , legs, cheeky monkey's on stomachs just below trouser line.
The 00's saw the Beckham influence , far more ink sleeves , on legs and arms and last decade a lot more neck tattoos. Still see people of a certain age with Beckham wings
I have nothing against tattoo's I was brought up in an era were tattoos were viewed to hold you back professionally. (not saying its right ) Even today senior managers and professional people don't really have visual tattoos. Personally I think tattoos can look really good but it's usually the canvas underneath it which looks good and probably you look good or bad with or without if you have a good body. As for aging you will be like a wrinkled prune with or without tattoo's.

I thought these tattoo sleeves were just those transfer stickers you used to get in bubble gum machine packets in the 60s where they just war off after a few days.

Didn’t the commentator remark yesterday that Josh Windass has the dates of promotions or play off final wins tattooed on his leg?

So there’s a starter, the dates of Burnley league title wins and promotions. 8-)

Glad I don't have any. I would be on a par with Yakuza here!

I enjoy my Saturday or Sunday mornings at the gym and the spa afterwards. The sauna and baths are great here and I wouldn't be allowed in if I had tattoos. Although they may have loosened the rules a bit in the last few years.

The styles go out of fashion what most people get like the tribal that was popular 10/15 years back.

Have quite a few myself, but I’m more of a traditional fan. The history of tattooing is extremely interesting.

Had an ex that had pretty much a body-full of tattoos. She used to say that if all she has to worry about when she's old, she's lived a wonderful life and they would remind her of that fact. A pretty good way to look at things.

Aye, many of us have moved on from the days of 'going out of fashion'. You can dress in good quality vintage 1940s/50s/60s clobber and look stylish. Years ago, you would look like you had raided a charity shop, but not any more.

I thought tattoo's were the domain of sailors originally and of course some peoples of the South Seas where the tattoos had a meaning. Its a fashion now of course and footballers are among the main protagonists. Recently visited an Asisn city of 26 million people and saw only one tattoo on girls arm.

I have always considered permanently disfiguring your body with tattoos as weird. I remember people during the sixties that used to use a needle and Indian ink to do their own, writing 'love and hate' on their knuckles or even strange stuff on their face. Weird.

Tattoo removal clinics are busy through small tattoo removals or holiday tattoo removals, I've never met anybody going in asking for a full sleeve removal it'd cost an absolute fortune to completely remove it'd look worse than if they just left it alone

Tattoos, like 'lol' emojis, the culture of talking nice but acting horribly, spilling your private life on social media and the rank corporate culture that forces you to say how wonderful they are and how fabulous their well-being offerings are 'or else', without any shred of irony, are all things that have made the world worse over the years.

Unless, of course you like tattoos in which case good on you - express yourself how you want. It's your body and your declaration of aesthetic values.

Oh and bare faced hypocrisy is a symptom of the modern world.

Oh and I missed leveraged buyouts and the Venky's subsidising Blackburn Rovers to the tune of Β£20 million to the list of things that have made life worse.

Thank goodness for YouTube and football forums.

What a bizarre post. Why do you care what other people do with their bodies?

I don't have any tats but my partner has a full sleeve and I love it (but more importantly, she loves it). It's part of her.

Each to their own but nothing would ever persuade me to have a tattoo, let alone the full sleeve type. Never in even the most drunken stupor have I ever even considered it. I personally see it as disfigurement.
If those with sleeve tats feel a bit silly when they do go out of fashion it’s their own fault. At least my eighties mullet is long gone.

Yet they still won't give you a COSHH or Chemical Safety Dara Sheet for the inks. Remember you need these for Tipex in the office!
