Tattoos - and quirky incidents.

Tattoos - and quirky incidents.

Funny thing happened to me on the way to the dairy the other day. A rather curious young woman if the tattoo I have on my arm, which coincidently is the Traditional Chinese character for "Phoenix" asked me if I got it because the footy team is named after the famous bird of fire. Thankfully i was able to say "no" I've had the tattoo for two years now, it goes with the one on my other arm which is the character for "dragon".

What does the chinese symbol for Phoenix look like?

鳳凰

Yup that's the one.

also hve the symbol for Dragon on my other arm

Is you Welsh Boyyo?

nope not Welsh, kiwi born and bred! Always had a thing for Dragons and Phoenis, like the tradition behind them as well. Chinese mythology has a pairing of the dragon and phoenix as bring good luck and fortune. theprof2007-09-27 14:05:31

I've got 6 tatts. All very boring really, my kids names on my forearms are about the most exciting (and newest). Have planned to get the Partick Thistle badge done for ages but I dunno where yet. Could get a huge one on my fat a**e, I s'pose.

i got a mixture of maori and chilean in my tattoo.
i cant wait to get my next one, as soon as i got the money

Know a guy back home who went for a tattoo when he was on shore leave with the Royal Navy in  some far off Asian country ,after being on the grog all day he was pretty pissed and spent about half an hour trying to explain to this tattooist that he wanted a thistle on his chest and desperately trying to describe what a thistle looked like ,anyway to cut a long and very painful story short  he blacked out during the tattoo only to wake up several hours later with a huge pineapple tattooed on his chest with the words bonwee scootlund underneath it!!
ouch!

(remember kids a tattoos not just for x.mas its for life!!)
