Been thinking of getting another tattoo and a friend fleetingly suggested a magic eye pic tatt. You know the type of pic i mean. When you relax your eyes and stare at it a unicorn or pyramid or something emerges from the pattern.

I think something like that would be well cool. I'd have it on the base of my back or between my shoulder blades.

What are your thoughts on tatts?

Tatts might look nice when you are young Lorna, but somewhat embarassing when you want to lie on the beach in the Caribbean after you retire, and they look all shrivelled and distorted

I don't like tattoos at all. Can't understand why anyone would want one.

I've got one.

I never thought I would, but I have.

It's a little dot, just north-east of Mr Willy, and it was free on the NHS.

They give you one for radiotherapy targetting, so it can't wash off during the treatment.

I find it quite amusing, telling people who know me quite well and know I'm not the "tattoo type", that I've got one.

I'm quite proud of it now.

That sounds like a borstal spot. Or to be PC one of the home made tatts that you do when in holidaying in a young offenders institution ( not that i'd know about that of course).

Whilst there are certain similarities between a Borstal Institution and certain wards at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, in this case you DO happen to be wrong.

I'm more worried who you are showing!

you wait till you get old and wrinkly nick, you'll have to wear a sarong or something on the beach to hide it.

That's the nicest thing anyone's said in a long time.

Thank you.

I always thought you'd refer to mister Willy as something like "captain jimothy and his two privates", Nick!

Well i'd already thought about that. Once they begin to look old and faded, i'll either have them touched up or covered over with another. Mind you the parts of my body that i'd have tattood i wouldn't dream of exposing on a beach when i'm an old wrinkly.
