I'm perhaps being a tad cynical - it appeared that way to me from the beginning of the link - perhaps she's donating all proceeds to the victims of emergency services.

It's not just one person doing it, there's a whole host, and yes, all the money is going to charity.

Re: Tattoos For Manchester
I know a fair few Mancunians who have had bee tattoos for a while, it's a fairly common thing.

Re: Tattoos For Manchester
What's the significance of the Bee in relation to Manchester?
Can't say I've noticed it before this week.

It's on the coat of arms; a worker bee to symbolise the industrial past of the city. Its on all the bins and the tiles of the town hall floor.Bordeauxclaret wrote:What's the significance of the Bee in relation to Manchester?

Re: Tattoos For Manchester
Quite apart from the subject matter, tattoos can result in longterm slow toxic absorption and knacker vital organs. Always ask the needle man for the chemical data safety sheet or COSHH Risk Assessment (legal requirements).
