    @KT53 I think it’s up to the footballer in question as to whether or not the tattoo is appropriate and really none of your business

    Well footballers are known to be the paragons of taste and intelligence after all.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I think we should also remember that sometimes young people do things they don't always think through or understand how it may be viewed by others ... there's a saying about old heads on young shoulders ... you may have heard it ... I expect most of us have done something at some time that we now think was ill-judged.  Few of us have to live with our actions being plastered all over a malevolant and racist media ... if my youthful activities were ever made public in that way I hope I could respond with the maturity and dignity shown by that particular footballer.

    I tried it with a plunger, and believe me it's not to be recommended.

    That's what my mother said when I had my ears pierced at the age of 26.  Apparently if God had meant me to have holes in my ears he'd have put them there ...   :|

    Duh!  additional 'man-made' holes is what she meant ... rather than the ones 'designed by deity'  🤣

    One of the least unpleasant modifications that people decide to make to the human body, particularly the female body whether for fashion , culture or religion.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
