Clearly, Mr. Owl needs a Tootsie Pop.
If that isn’t a good idea, I don’t know what is. Maybe with “How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?” In Russian translation around it..
Just found this that mentions the tattoo. but to be honest.. not sure how legit its claims are.

Are you planning on walking around with your top off all the time? if not then as long as your happy with it keep it. I would go and kick the tattooists head in also.
Not in the UK, but i’ll be off to LA soon and going to beaches n stuff so i wouldn’t really want to be fully clothed there. there’re a fair amount of Russian Ex-pats in LA… If the tattoo is well known and not used lightly etc.. then I can’t imagine they’ll wanna make sandcastles with me if they see it.

I wouldn’t worry too much, lots of popular tattoos were/are common in prison, even the spider web that you see all the time. Most of the people who have them have never done time.
Yeah i thought too when i first heard about it, only thing is, it’s a very specific tattoo with a meaning. unlike spider webs, tear drops etc which have many different meanings depending on the culture that dons them.. this is very much only a russian symbol…

I like it!
haha me too i was very pleased with it when it was done.. just wondering if it’s reckless to keep it now that i know there is a possibility it could be dangerous..

Welcome to the forum!
I’d like to see a picture of your tattoo. Where is it on you?
Keep us posted. Pictures too.
Noooo idea how to upload my own image.. sorry, my forum knowledge is very basic. I FAQ’d how to do it and it said something about clicking Manage Attachments below where i type the post.. but can’t find that option at all… soon as i figure it out i will though.
Its quite large on the right hand side of my chest . I don’t think they are used anymore though and apparently weren’t that common (but i’m not 100% on that).. documented in the 1940’s.
There ya go!
Cheers mate!
lol noted. Actually, speaking of pictures, i don’t know how to attach my own images.. it’s clear how to link them with the hyper link thing.. but FAQ says there should be a ‘Manage Attachments’ option somewhere.. and i can’t find it. Quite the opposite, at the bottom of the page, it says i may not post attachments. Don’t suppose you’d know how to do it?
Thanks!
