health and safety and Brothers aren't conducive to tattooing!

Why on earth would anyone want to get a tattoo at the festival?
Surely if you're planning on getting inked you should search out a good tattooist and use them, not just "get one because there might be a guy on site".

Last year whilst walking back to our tent during the downpour in the early hours of Monday morning we saw a bloke getting one done in one of the bars by the Tipee fields.

There was a bar in Shang-rila last year that would only let you you in if you had a tattoo. If you didn't they would give you one (a temporary one) on the spot.

i wonder if any good tattooist would actually want to work Glasto?

[mandypants]

It would be a pretty stupid idea to have one done at a festival, there is no way you could keep it clean enough, and you have no way of knowing if the artist is responsible, a decent artist, and infection free.  There's no way I would get one done, that's why I got my latest one last week so it's nicely healed before Glasto

No there isn't, for obvious reasons. Although there are temporary tattoo 'studios' sometimes.

At my first Glasto in 95, one of my clearest memories is of a crusty girl, with filthy dredds and dirty clothes, sitting on a grubby blanket with a load of jewellery laid out on it, picking up germs. Next to that she had a bit of brown cardboard torn off a box, with "BODY PIERCING, £5" scrawled on it.

Er, nah.

Yup, you're just asking for a huge manky infection, possibly something like hepatitis, which might never be cured.  Not worth it.

Thanks all, it wasn't for me honest, I am refreshingly tattoo free. I was asked by a girl at the weekend that thought it would be a bit special to get her first tattoo done at her first glasto...

It certainly would be "special"...

funnily enough when I was a stupid 18 year old I had my nose pierced by a crusty with a similar cardboard sign at the Strawberry Fayre!  A shot of something and a needle.  pure filth.
