David Beckham turned 40 the other week, and to celebrate he got his 40th tattoo on his neck- a tribute to his daughter Harper. So we asked if we could see yours. Here's a selection of some of our listeners' tattoo tales....
After hearing Dara O'Briain's sketch about getting a tattoo, I think about tattoos in a different light. Well worth checking out :-)
hi Ian. when living in Boston For my 30th birthday I got a butterfly tattoo on my lower back. The tattooist was covered head to toe intattoos and piercings. when I picked out the tattoo I said to him is it maybe a bit too Mariah Carey-ish? he said who the f@#k is Mariah Carey? I was v scared!! After all she was THE chart topper back in the day! Helen
5 tattoos, each for an important moment of my life. You get thetattoo you deserve , no thought put into means it's normally crap. Want lots more. Pa in Ennis
My 1st was the typical tribal tattoo at 17. Then i got my girlfriends name,still together 7 years later. I got a sleeve with jessica rabbit and my pirate queen. Tattoos were sore in some places but dont regret any of them,the body is a blank canvas you decorate as you want. Donal in cork
Iano, travelling in Thailand a few years back, I befriended a Dutchman with about ten tattoos. "My grandmother made me promise not to get anymoretattoos before I left" he told me, "so I won't be getting any more. Fast forward to about 3am and I was walking back to our cabin with my wife and who did I spot only our favourite Dutchman in the 24 hour tattoo shop getting a nice new tattoo with a beer in hand!!
