Personal from Pat Deakin
founder of Tatcon Blackpool:

Mac Mccarthy is one of the nicest blokes around and has helped me over the years in various ways in the building of Tatcon Blackpool, and has become a friend.
This judgement and in fact the whole case will do nothing good, it will only drive things underground where they can't be monitored.
Personally I feel that as a human being I have the choice of what I do to my body, pierce, tattoo, shave, whatever, it's my body and harming nobody else.
I like many other people go to a professional for my body changes, be that a tattoo, a piercing, a haircut (for those of you with hair) a cut throat razor shave.
I give my verbal or written consent for said procedure and I'm happy.
So what if somebody else isn't happy with what I've had done to myself?
Well really it's none of their business, but now it suddenly is and there ends freedom of choice.

Stay strong Mac
