TattoosLooking at some of the race photos I was intrigued at the number of members with tattoos, and very interesting ones at that.
It has made me even more convinced that I should get a nice Club one for my arse. Obviously it would have to be a small and pert type of tattoo.
'Caring Club' on the cheeks is my preference. Karl's suggestion of TW on one cheek and AT on the other I find interesting but I am not sure what this would be an acronym of.
Can I invite our learned readers to write about their favourite tattoos and ideas for mine.....thanks

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Some women in Springfield are regretting their decision last week to get a tattoo from a door-to-door tattoo salesman. At least one person had to be hospitalized and the others face serious health risks.
Friday night, a man knocked on doors holding a tattoo gun and offering his services. Tamra Eason described the tool as homemade, but still agreed to pay for a tattoo. So did two other women in her apartment complex.
"It was wrapped with black tape, had a pin underneath it, had fishing wire going through it, you could tell it was a homemade gun," Eason said.
The next day, Linda Falls passed out and had to be hospitalized.
"I passed out in the store and they said I should have it checked out," Falls said.
All the women have an infection in the tattoo area and have been told to get tested for HIV and hepatitis.
The health department said it's always worth the extra money to get a tattoo from a licensed professional with the right equipment and sterilization procedures.
"Getting a tattoo is like a wound. There's a risk of disease that may be long term or life threatening. It's a serious decision," said Jaci McReynalds, with the Greene County Health Department.
It is illegal in Missouri to give a tattoo without a license, so if several people file complaints with the state, the county prosecutor will pursue the case.
"Beware of deals in parachutes, brain surgery and tattoos," said Miller Cotton, a tattoo parlor owner.
"We just wanted tattoos, and now we're paying for it," Eason said

Think of something that means the world to you/believe in/something that you are into and then go to a GOOD tattoo artist and talk it over with them to come up with ideas on the theme you choose.
Notice I said tattoo ARTIST and not tattooist. There is a whole world of difference.
Last Sunday after the Southend 10k I went to the London tattoo convention, I am now booking in with an artist from Beijing who is coming back over next year, yes it will be worth waiting that long, his designs and portfolio were mind blowing.
There are a few in this country that are amazing artists, people like Woody, Mo, and everyone at Frith Street in Soho.
What were you thinking about getting inked?
