What is with the sudden appearance of tattoos?
One thing that has surprised me this season is what seems to be a sudden increase in the appearance of tattoos on players.
In one of the Collingwood games recently I saw two of their boys with an entire arm coloured in.
Then there are many players that almost seem to have home made tattoos on the inside of their arms etc. I kind of wonder what sort of message this sends to kids?
Are the players now so bored that tattoos are the in-thing?
I was trying to think of which Saints players have tattoos (we can't count the fake ones for the ads), but either they are hiding them well or there aren't many. I think Dal has an inside arm one.

Yep, speak for your self, but please don't trailer trash...milney044 wrote:Personally i thought the look made those two lads fit in quite well down at collingwood. Disgusting and tacky if you ask me, trailer trash even. Yep, Beams has slotted right in.
I have one and am proud of it...
Why mention a Yank saying in any case??
Beams is and will be a good player, so what that he has tattoos

It is a shame that people, particularly young people are so easily manipulated by the whims of fashion.
Whatever the "In" people are doing,
or the vacuous magazines tell them the "In" people are doing,
they feel the need to copy them.
Sad part is that
- whims change and
- people get older and wiser,
but the tatts remain.
One day they will wake up and realise they are a loser covered in stupid embarassing graffiti.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
