Can you tell me what your mindset was when you had that obnoxious tattoo of a knuckle duster stamped on your shaven head.
A conversation went like this...............
Daddy what is that tattoo that's on the side of your head.
It's a knuckle duster son.
What's a knuckle duster daddy.
Well son you simply slip it over your fingers and hit someone.
Why would you want to do that daddy.
Because I want to be a role model for you and all the young fans who come to watch us play.

I think you'll find that's Delaney!

BDL rules come into play...

His body his choice! Why do you care?

Ah that's what it is. I thought it was a mutated Mickey Mouse

I don't see the issue. Wouldn't have it myself but its his body and his choice.

In terms of the the OPs discussion with their son you could quite easily turn that conversation into a positive outlook and talk about how in many countries people have the right of freedom. Whereas some may look on at this tattoo as a poor decision others will not and that this was a personal choice and means something to Delaney and that we should all respect that

My god, what a load of PC.

He does have the right to do what he want's, as do people have the right to form an opinion based on that.

Personally, I think anyone who has a tattoo on their head is a first class dick with a problem mentally. Just my opinion like.

As long as he continues to play the way he is, he can tattoo whatever he wants wherever he wants as far as i'm concerned.

Bailey on the other hand......

As long as he doesn't show us his Prince Albert I reckon the morals of the nation's youth will remain unaffected.

Why??
He does have freedom of choice that's not PC that is fact as far as i'm aware his conduct is fine on and off the pitch so why does his choice of "style" bother you??
Do you think the Warriors within tribes who get "inked" are dicks with a mental problem?
Before you ask i do have Tatts but i would never personally get them on my noggin but each to their own.
Also to the OP BD and the Rhinos team as a whole are great within the community and how they relay being role models you T!T.

You can't quote that someone has freedom of choice to do what they want, then tell someone they don't have a right to form an opinion of their own on it. That kind of contradicts does it not?

You answered your own query anyway, by stating you yourself had tatts but would never get one on your noggin. Like I said, my own personal opinion is that someone who does get one on their head is a first class dick and and has a mental problem.

What tribes are you talking about by the way? most of them have non permanent markings, but not sure what they have to do with normal society anyway.

He has the freedom to be an idiot. He's exercising that freedom.

We have the freedom to call him an idiot.

He's an idiot.

I'm a firm believer of live and let live. If someone chooses to do something like that with there body, I see no problem and I never judge. I happen to know that Delaney is one of the nicest blokes you will meet. He head markings have nothing to do with that. It's just my opinion, but too many people get too uptight about something that has no relevance to them.

As for the poster who mentioned having to tell their kids, just say its a tattoo. Do you have to go into detail and explain exactly what one is? No! They aren't going to know are they?

Having prominent tattoos isn't equivalent to being an idiot.

It merely reflects that you are not participating in the particular hierarchy that has people who think they're clever at the top of it...
