What's Godwin got to do with it?

If people are law abiding citizens they'd be keen to get rid of the criminal element in some bikie gangs.

If they don't want the criminal element stopped, I can understand why the drama about it.

Just because I disagree with the OP does not mean it's personal. It simply means I agree with the laws. Photograph them, throw out the bikes, lock them up...if they are in outlawed gangs.

Oh come on, people get tatts for many reasons, no reason to assume they are any different, intellectually, to you.

Photographing EVERYONE with a tattoo is ridicules! Who is going to pay for every third person to turn up and have this done? What an absolute waste of time and resources, RIDICULES!!!

True. I don't think there is a 'stigma' attached to them  now either, like there was decades ago.

My OH has an Australian soldier, head bowed above the rising sun, with the words "lest we forget" in a scroll across it, a little old lady in the bank the other day, reached up, tapped him on the shoulder and whispered "I like your tattoo".
