Hand Tattoo's now allowed in the RAF
There was a joke about a young fella going into the gents and taking a peek at a large black fella’s penis to see if the rumours were true..he spied WENDY tattooed on said appendage. Having been noticed by the tattooed fella (I’ve done the same with a jazz singer embarrassingly) he says I’ve got a girlfriend called WENDY as well! Reply “ no son that’s welcome to Jamaica have a nice day”.
"Mildly" Eccentric Stardriver
As Alfred says, these jokes go back many years, but not really racist. One that sticks in my mind was "Swan" and "Saskatchewan"
To get back on track, whilst i am personally no fan of tattoos, in this day and age so many young people get them that the services would be remiss not to consider suitable applicants because they had a tattoo on their hand.
As a young officer cadet, the toughest WO II on the DS had hand tattoos, end there were some tough ones there, including one who later earned a VC. I'd rather have him beside, in front of or behind me than some of the effete officers there. There are more important things to argue about.
