Really !

Oops only just read the first post.

That is ridiculous!

So what if someone goes in there with a big scar down their face? Will they be turned away too? Or a disabled person? Will they not be allowed the wheelchair in there?

Snobby gits, how about I go in there with oil covered overalls?

I happen to have tattoos for a reason !

Not to look like an idiot

Hate judging people

Don't talk about anything you don't know about

Spare room tonight Ste?

Lol I'm staying out

peter johnstone is mr park hampers and owner of tranmere

I have tattoos (and 8 piercings) and have another planned. Each of mine were done for very personal reasons and not as "fashion" like many are today.

I'd be annoyed if I was asked to leave, but it's their pub/bar so they can make their own rules. It would be their loss, not mine. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

The people that feel that way always make me wonder what they'd do if they came across this gent - would they still feel the same way if their life depended on it?

*As for the comment about "hickeys/hickies" (however you spell it) - hardly the same. They're disgusting! And the swastika comment - until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck. I do believe that it could be found on some American & Finnish Armed Forces uniforms in WWI too.


*I couldn't be bothered going back to quote the posts concerned as it's been a very long day & I'm too tired

Same here wench

Mine are very personal to me

My view is people like them
Or they don't

Each to there own but don't think it's right for
People to judge orthers

Wench, noticed the thing about swastikas. If you every go to the bombed out Cathedral in Coventry there is a sarcophagus in there with a statue of a previous Bishop in full regalia, his cloaky thing is decorated with swastikas. With regards to the tats also, I was on the Cenotaph parade in London with the Submariners and two of us got sent to the back of the platoon for being incorrectly dressed (no beret), anyway we ended up next to some old folks and asked what they were doing there and we were informed that they were Concentration Camp Survivors Association members. One of the lads, we'd been at the hip flasks, said "Show us your tats", whereupon one of the old ladies took her coat off and showed us the number on her arm and was rewarded with a slug of pussers rum. They were very nice people and we had a good morning with them.

Earliest archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization of Ancient India as well as Classical Antiquity. Swastikas have also been used in other various ancient civilizations around the world. It remains widely used in Indian religions, specifically in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, primarily as a tantric symbol to evoke 'shakti' or the sacred symbol of auspiciousness. The swastika is also a Chinese character used in East Asia representing eternity and Buddhism.

Following a brief surge of popularity in Western culture, the right-facing swastika was adopted as a symbol of the Nazi Party of Germany in 1920. The Nazis used the swastika as a symbol of an alleged Aryan race. After Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s, a swastika was incorporated into the Nazi party flag, which was made the State Flag of Germany. As a result, the Swastika became strongly associated with Nazism and related ideologies such as Fascism and White Supremacism since the 1930s in the Western world and is now largely stigmatized in the West. It has notably been outlawed in Germany if used as a symbol of Nazism. Many modern political extremists and Neo-Nazi groups such as the Russian National Unity use stylized swastikas or similar symbols.

Agreed. Personally they are not what I would call attractive, apart from maybe some of the smaller ones. Each to their own.
I don't think any bad press will destroy the business mentioned, as it will only encourage more of those who have adversities towards tattoos, to use the place more.
