Oh look. You can get a Mintoff tattoo.

No prizes for guessing where I’d put mine, were I inclined to get myself tattooed (no, not THERE…the soles of my feet).

That’s not the worse there is. During the “Summer Carnival” event held in Bugibba last year, there was someone who had a Karmenu tattoo that was the size of his back.
What did he have? A big simple zero across his back?
good one ajs
HA! What an inspiration! Leaving the subject aside for a moment – that’s actually a really decent tattoo, well done to the artist
Is that Fr Dionysius or his brother?
Some people have strange taste lol but I agree the artist must be a great one to manage to get so much detail, so well done.
Yes, but what happens when the hair grows back?
He would then replace Mintoff’s face with Joseph’s.
That’s a good tattoo, subject aside.
@Chris
I completely agree. Moko’s work is actually some of the best I’ve seen and his clients swear by him.
Well, the majority of clients who would want a tattoo of that sort are bount to swear.
“Bount”? Reading too much Maltastra, I see.
Do you have some of his work???? I do and it is fantastic, so put your money where your mouth is : )
I was interested in a titchy bronze bust of Is-Salvatur on sale last year. It would have made a great doorstop, or an Elvis style lampshade base.
My better half wouldn’t have it anywhere in the house.
Let’s not go into the ‘sort’ of people who would get a mintoff tattoo, let’s instead look at how talented the artist is and leave it at that. The artwork done by moko has always been amazing. Wouldn’t trust anyone else with something that will be imprinted on me for the rest of my life!
In that respect I would have to agree.
What if someone got a Fenech Adami tattoo would you all virgins talk the same way guess not tattoo is fab
Taf li jezistu l-punctuation marks ?,.!”
Habib taghna Mark, jien nahseb li qatt m’hu se ssib tpingija (tattoo) ta’ Eddie fuq l-ebda gisem.
“Mintoff Alla ta’ Malta” rajtha miktuba kemm il-darba, tpingijiet ta’ Mintoff kemm trid, imma qatt m’hu se tara xi haga hekk fuq Eddie.
Kontra ta’ Mintoff, Eddie qatt ma ried li jigi idolizzat.
Inkwatri ta’ Mintoff bid-dawl jew xemgha quddiemhom rajt kemm trid fuq il-postijiet tax-xoghol u fl-intrati tan-nies (Laburisti). Qatt ma’ rajt ta’ hadd iktar, la ta’ Karmenu, la ta’ Fredu u iktar u iktar ta’ Eddie li hu skrupluz fuq ir-religjon.
Jien se naghmel wiehed ta’ Franco rasu l-isfel fil-loki, ghax kif narah, ghal xi raguni jaqbadni l-brim…lassattiv tajjeb.
Most Nationalists have better tastes than to tattoo a politician’s face on any part of their body.
One popular potential candidate for a joke tattoo in the lead up to the good old Golden Years was Bertu Hyzler. No prizes offered for the preferred location of the tattoo.

Some people need a life. And not you Daphne. Maybe we should start a charity called:”Help a Mintoffjan find a hobby”
And who do you think you are telling someone to get a life when you life is boring enough to comment here!!
[Daphne – Lots of people find this blog very exciting, Mark. Apparently, so do you.]
Lots of nationalist you mean Daphne who excite themselves reading reading bs.
Like dogs wiggling their tails when their owner arrives
Daphne you better welcome Mary Mifsud , or Lilly Vella now signing in as Mark Borg. He has migrated to your blog with his Blackberry which rings even when it’s off.
Cowards die many times before their deaths.
Hey, Daphne is my hobby. Got a problem with that?
Hey Mark, what’s wrong with dogs “wiggling” their tails?
You should be worried when the tail “wiggles” the dog.
Tghid ma nafdahx lil Mintoff man-nipple. Mela tridu jerdghani kif redgha lil Malta?
It’s scary that this tattoo isn’t on wrinkled flesh. Think of the implications of that.
Dan zgur qabdu t-tetnu.
A picture of Mintoff on his chest?
He’s a total idiot.
Who Mintoff or the tattooed?
I say both.
They did not show us Agatha Barbara on the other side.
Whose chest is that? A certain magistrates by any chance?
This tattoo was done by Andrew at Moko Tattoos. Both Andrew and Jeremy care about their customers and their work. They have completed my sleeve and I would highly recommend them. But Mintoff … God NO!!!
I am the tattooist who did this tattoo at Moko Tattoos in Sliema. Check us out on Facebook.
(Sorry for the shameless advert, Daphne.)
Thank you all for the kind words and praise – it’s much appreciated.
For those of you criticising the client’s choice of subject – I’ve done many more tattoos which make less sense to me, so give the guy a break – it’s on his body and he’s happy with it so that’s all that counts.
