The End Times began with a tattooed woman in Devon? Seems a bit of an anticlimax, really...

Would anyone care to go into detail about the Picts and Celts, who both dyed their skin and possibly also tattooed themselves BEFORE he precious Jeebus even existed.

"Good old Britannia" - aka two thousand years of stuffy, conceited, unimaginative, inbred, upper-class idiots lording it over anyone with the audacity to be poor or not born to a noble family, perpetrating any number of disasters and defeats by ignoring good advice from people without sufficient arbitrary social rank to be paid any attention, and generally opposing any progress or innovation on the principle that any change from the status quo could only represent a potential depletion of their absolute, undeserved and unearned power and authority.
Traditionalism, inflexibility and arrogance, as practiced by the former British Empire and now finding popularity in the United States' general attitude to the world at large, have more to answer for in the way of colossal disasters than just about any other social force.
"Britannia?" Great British Tradition? I'm British, and I say you can fucking keep it. What the world needs is intelligent, decent people working out the best way to do things right fucking now, not a bunch of automatons deferring their decisions to people who have been dead for centuries and whose policies were tailored for their world as it was then, not ours as it is today.

I'm tattooed and pierced, and you don't see *me* ruining any countries just by existing and being into bod mods/art. Bush is doing a good enough job without my help, anyway.

So basically women get tattooed and pierced and that somehow lead to the downfall of our society? You sure it isn't myopic idiots who down on everything they don't agree with causing it to go underground and be more desired?

I knew Devon was a bit backwards but come on, tattoos and piercings weren't discovered until 1999?!

Have you ever read 'The Lion and the Unicorn' by George Orwell? Because in it he basically says exactly what you just did :P
Sans the US bit of course.

You know, I think he's right. Boudicca got her first ink done, and wham – Gaius Suetonius Paulinus kicked her ass. Who knew Ulfie read Tacitus?

Yo, submitter... it's the Daily Fail, heh.
I've heard some weak excuses used to blame all the world's wrongs on women, but this tops them all.
