Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: I know, Jackie boy, you've got a tattoo. I have
Speaker 2: a tattoo. Perhaps you ever thought about getting a tattoo.
Speaker 3: I have.
Speaker 1: Actually I thought I would like to get the initials
Speaker 1: of Chris Audrey and I are somehow intertwined. But where
Speaker 1: the placement of where it was? Always?
Speaker 2: Would you want it somewhere to screete that only you
Speaker 2: can see that you can have the option of covering up.
Speaker 1: I thought, like on my wrist or somewhere. But I want, like,
Speaker 1: I need to find someone that does really beautiful cursive
Speaker 1: sort of tattooing, like a specialist in that.
Speaker 2: I back my handwriting.
Speaker 1: No thanks, No, I wouldn't do Christians that big sharpie pen.
Speaker 2: My tattoo is a word patsy that I had translated
Speaker 2: into Sanskrit, which is the oldest language. And then it's
Speaker 2: in a circle so people can't sit. But I see
Speaker 2: what it is, and it drives people nuts because of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I asked you that once. You never told me.
Speaker 2: Because it's book. It's a message to me. I didn't
Speaker 2: even put it in the book, by the way, it's
Speaker 2: a message to me in there. I was on the
Speaker 2: flight comeback from Byron on Saturday, and there was a
Speaker 2: guy on the plane who went had a two at
Speaker 2: the back of his arm. Right, this goes in his
Speaker 2: mid thirties, right, so he's not a kid, but it
Speaker 2: was like a four or five inch question mark the riddler. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's on my flight jet stuck. By the way, people
Speaker 2: with overhead lockers, it's the most stressful thing about flying out,
Speaker 2: isn't it. People? Just the slamming and the bigger I
Speaker 2: mean the size. Now, what people bring on that they
Speaker 2: think is etcetera. As an overhead they've got a big
Speaker 2: bag anyway. Then they bring on that they're now expanding,
Speaker 2: aren't they where they've worked out bag makers how to
Speaker 2: feel every cubic centimeter of that that you know slot
Speaker 2: you meant to put the bag into. It's like people
Speaker 2: bringing on what can scribe was a small fridge, and
Speaker 2: then they start humping your head as they try and
Speaker 2: excuse me, sorry, excuse me, as you're trying to slam
Speaker 2: it in. And I hate it. I don't know why
Speaker 2: I don't own my headlocker. I'm just it's just about me.
Speaker 2: I can't stand it if someone from a couple of
Speaker 2: seats away comes downside. This is how waterful. It's all
Speaker 2: territorial of life? Is that? Why does it bother me?
Speaker 2: But it really irritates me anyway. I want to know today,
Speaker 2: if you've got an unusual or unique tattoo, what does
Speaker 2: that actually mean? So did you ask the question mark
Speaker 2: guy what it meant? No, because a couple of days
Speaker 2: before that, I saw a girl serving me lunch, right,
Speaker 2: and she had these beautiful tattoos right. They were really
Speaker 2: really ornate. I said, those are beautiful tattoos. What flowers
Speaker 2: are those? Because they were like long stemmed flowers. I
Speaker 2: couldn't work out what it was, and I thought this
Speaker 2: would be a nice question to ask somebody. And I
Speaker 2: love really good original tattoos. She goes, Oh, my brother
Speaker 2: died Sunday last year. It was taken from a photo
Speaker 2: of the poppies on his grave, and I could see
Speaker 2: that it was still very much alive in her the grief.
Speaker 2: She had tears and eyes. So we don't talk about it.
Speaker 2: For about half an hour she actually she was serving me.
Speaker 2: I bought a drink. She sat down and talked, we
Speaker 2: are brothers. All that we actually had a really really
Speaker 2: nice conversation, Bob. But I was so wary of the
Speaker 2: guy with the with the question mark whether it's about life.
Speaker 2: You know how, emotions are very high. I was triggering
Speaker 2: about the guy from three seats and headed me using
Speaker 2: my overhead locker space. So there was a lot going
Speaker 2: on there. So today I want to know what does
Speaker 2: your tattoo mean? This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast,
Speaker 2: What does your tattoo mean? So a guy on the
Speaker 2: plane on Saturday in a giant question mark on the
Speaker 2: back of his left arm. Christian, I have a here
Speaker 2: broccolny florette on my bum cheek. They got it tattooed
Speaker 2: on a night out to remind me to eat health here.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't work because I can't see you.
Speaker 3: Probably one hundred beers halfway through combabit.
Speaker 2: I need to eat better. The permanent reminder to do somewhere,
Speaker 2: somewhere completely out of sight on your bum cheek, a
Speaker 2: broccany florette. All right, let's say some calls, then what
Speaker 2: does your tattoo mean? Nine four one, one oh four three?
Speaker 3: Good morning, Catherine, Good morning, how you're doing.
Speaker 2: We're good, Katherine. I hope you're well as well. So
Speaker 2: what is your tattoo?
Speaker 3: Men?
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 3: It's a little bit different. I have got my eyebrows tattooed.
Speaker 3: And what it means is I was an overplucker of
Speaker 3: the seventies and eighties, and they didn't bother to come
Speaker 3: back when I stopped.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that was the thing to be an overplucker.
Speaker 2: I was an overplucker of the seventies. You wild charge lessens.
Speaker 3: All you young women out there, do not do not.
Speaker 4: Do what I do.
Speaker 3: Do not be an overplucker.
Speaker 2: I thought they would just grow back like a farmer scape.
Speaker 1: Don't grow back.
Speaker 4: They do.
Speaker 1: And then you get older and all your hormones mean
Speaker 1: you don't get as much. You get here in places
Speaker 1: you don't want here, and not here where you want here.
Speaker 3: If that means so you've got I'm hearing you.
Speaker 2: So you've got now permanent tattoo eyebrows.
Speaker 3: Yes, And I get lots of compliments. And that's why
Speaker 3: I say to people, do not overpluck, otherwise you'll end
Speaker 3: up like me. But they are very nice, right.
Speaker 2: All right, captain, thank you very much. She called, have
Speaker 2: a good week.
Speaker 3: I think you're welcome.
Speaker 2: By Claire. Good morning, good morning. All right, what is
Speaker 2: your tattoo? Meing, Claire.
Speaker 4: My tattoo is of their feet. It is for the
Speaker 4: the Beatles song Blackbirds. And I got it from my
Speaker 4: mum who passed away about eight years ago, and before
Speaker 4: she died, she was she was in the seventies. She
Speaker 4: desperbably wanted a tattoo, and I remember saying, Nold, you
Speaker 4: can't get one. So yeah, so that's why I got one.
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful song as well. What a lovely thing
Speaker 2: to do. Thank you here, Claire, Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: She called, let's go to Nick. Nick. What does your
Speaker 2: tattoo mean?
Speaker 5: Morning crew? I have on my wrist a tattoo of
Speaker 5: a stone ye and a sort of statuette of a
Speaker 5: stone wine. And it's inspired by a heavy metal song
Speaker 5: called the Bosphorus Freezes Over. It's a sort of put
Speaker 5: us in five sort of orchestral kind of music. And
Speaker 5: what it means is it's a symbol to as a
Speaker 5: bit of a monument or tribute to the person you
Speaker 5: could have been or things that had to be worst behind,
Speaker 5: and as a bit of a market of encouragement to
Speaker 5: press forward, press forward with your wife and to become
Speaker 5: the person who you're going to be.

Speaker 6: It's actually from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, and it's
Speaker 6: from the Cheshire Cat saying we're all mad here. It's
Speaker 6: actually the words and the purple and pink. So it's
Speaker 6: a reminder to remember how they see the world, which
Speaker 6: is topsy turvy, inside out, back to front, upside down
Speaker 6: and every which way, and to remind us, to remind
Speaker 6: us that for them things aren't quite right, and just
Speaker 6: to see things through their eyes.
