Cat I Like Tattos And Maybe 3 People Shirt
I don’t do drugs, I’ve never been in prison (or been a sailor), and I hold down a good job. And I’m pretty sure I’m not having a mid life crisis. So what makes a 30-something professional like me want to get a tattoo and still be career-focused? My mum would really like to know.The fact is though, tattoos are no longer the territory of the twisted or incarcerated – they are everyday and everywhere, from pop stars to CEOs, people are getting inked and, as like begats like, one fifth of UK adults are now thought to have them.I got a tattoo this summer – I could have got roses on my backside like Cheryl Cole or a dolphin on my ankle like Samantha Cameron (why didn’t I?). Better still, I could have followed the latest celebrity trend and got a poetical musing on my ribs. But I chose to get a picture of a bicycle on the inside of my right bicep.

For me, it was not only a beautiful little image but also something very personal – I love the simple form of the bicycle, I love its environmental statement, and I just love riding them; one of my proudest achievements is cycling across the USA. But the deciding factor in why I got this image etched forever was metaphorical – I was ill at the start of this year (and am thankfully all better now) – and having had a hefty tumour removed from my abdomen, I vowed to always get back on my bike, whatever was thrown at me.And soon after I had it done I started noticing them more – I’d spot a small star on a friend’s leg or a shamrock on a client’s wrist – and every one of them would have their own story to tell. Out for dinner one night with four friends, it transpired that only one of the group was without one – and these weren’t rock stars; these were a surveyor, a publisher, an architect, a businesswoman.
