Allowing Tattoos
I have no problem with tattoos.
I do, however, have a problem with those who insist on sticking apostrophes into words where they don't belong.
Short lesson
His tattoo's (tattoo is) very colourful - correct.
Her tattoos' designs are very imaginitive - correct.
They've got tattoo's - wrong!
What's difficult about that?

TTN, it's a sad reflection on our education system I'm afraid. Curiously these people seem to have complete accuracy when placing the decimal point in numbers preceeded by a £ sign or a flight level so I think it is laziness and attitude too. It's the random apostrophising of plurals that really flummoxes me, just the odd one now and again as though it's done for decoration, because there clearly isn't even a misunderstood system at work. Very strange indeed, that...It creates a similar impression as someone wearing a tattoo, don't you find?
Perhaps big giant plasters
are a result of a "no visible tattoos" policy . Thus if you took your shirt off to reveal the tiny identical ones on your shoulders you'd have to cover them with medium sized giant plasters I suppose...could catch on, that! (cc removing shirts, not mangling the language)
