Title: Dorian Yates had Skinhead written on his knuckles?
Post by: Stark on October 16, 2007, 03:23:08 AM
I also read that in his Book Blood in your face you can still see the tattoo he removed later, 2 boots with a date on it, I don't think he was a racist/nazi Skin but maybe a sharp skin, at the time he was young and were he is from this would have been logical.

Anybodyh has some old images?

99% of skinheads in the early '80's over here were just following fashion (it was well known then), Dorian answered all the tatto questions back in 1990/91 when American's first started asking about them and stated they were just fashion. I believed him - when you meet him and chat to him he comes across as a really nice guy with a VERY dry sense of humour, fuck all to do with whether he may be a Nazi I know, but I believe his early '90's statements.

I disagree that its something thats "self"(ego-personality) inflicted, when its TRUE tattoo.

Although the connection that happens on this level is all encompassing and the love for bodybuilding so great, that the desire to suffer as he did, to feel the pain as he did, is an act of great compassion beyond the earthly understanding of the word.

whether it was fashion or not, it was still wrong. He is accountable.

If he was an adult and still wearing any kind of hate message on his body he has some explaining to do. He should apologize and show his contrition by contributing time or money to anti- racism and anti-semitism groups in his country.

If he refuses then he is most likely guilty.

I think you'll find he did apologise in the early 1990's and then had the offending tatoos removed - Just left with the flag one ( until recently ).

skinheads in england 70s - 90s were just a very large gang mostly made up of younger guys that were mostly just angry due to lack of social structure, employment and a feeling of being betrayed of their pride/dignity by a government that was intent on multiculturalism.

it started with the premise of rebelling against what many believed was an abandonment of national pride and progressed to simply rebellion for it's own sake and to escape poverty and despair.

the fashion was dms (doctor martin boots and hence the tattoo of same) and a closely shorn head. at least they were the essentials.

activity: gang violence and comradeship, a feeling of belonging and a simmering rage against the machine so to speak.

i remember mid 80s i was 11 and visiting england and my mother had thought it was a good idea to get my head shorn (maybe i had lice or something). well, since i wasn't a member of a gang and thus had no backup i got bashed simply for the haircut. :-\

fact is, if you grew up as dorian did (lost his father at an early age, man of the house, poor, stress, small family, no job prospects, etc) you were a prime candidate. the cold hard reality in these circumstances was that you were a skin or you were nobody.

still not an excuse.. I am sure there were many young men in the same circumstance  that went out and educated themselves and avoided that pitfall. Why make excuses for the ones that chose the wrong path. Whats next it was a "cultural" thing?

not making excuses, just providing my own insight into what 'being a skin' was all about re dorian's environment.

i can honestly say that it had very little to do with racism and everything to do with the aforementioned.

i agree that people should be accountable for their choices, but i believe the man deserves respect for the fact that he was strong enough to make better choices later in life that saw him completely exonerate himself from his past, right down to getting said tattoos removed from his skin.

judge the man by his actions not the words once written on his arm. ;)

Sounds like Stark is still masturbating from his meeting with Dorian earlier in the week and now wants to find out every little snippet of information he can and in the meantime getting his wirse completely crossed.  ::)

Dorian was a skinhead back in the late 70's early 80's but certainly not a racist - his best friend is a black guy nicknamed Choc (whom I've met on several occasions - he spotted me on benches once) and his ex-wife Debbie is half black, half chinese. Hardly the actions of a Nazi.

First of all being a Skinhead doesn't mean you are automatically a racist, educate yourself there are a lot of different Skinhead groups out there that have nothing to do with nazism racism and so forth...google sharps for a start, having said this, back in the days nearly every lad living in the working class areas was probably a skin or at least thinking of becoming one, it was the way to rebel and show Thatcher what a  c unt she really was.

Second: You have simply not a clue what you are talking about, he has NO hate messages on his body... never had... he had a Boot with a date (that can mean a shiploads of things) and a tattoo (he still has that one) that says: My England... nothing wrong with that... unless you are an immigrant radical Muslim cleric.

Next time get the facts first and open your mouth later ;)

First I've ever heard of it, and what's a sharp skin?
SHARP = Skin Head Against Racial Prejudice.  I doubt Dorian was a Nazi Skin.  Back in the day when he got that tat, skins were more a rebelious youth punk subculture in England. 

In America today Skins = Neo's for the most part, We (as well as the rest of the white world) adopted the look, because you can't wear a Nazi uniform to work because people will be offended, but you can shave your head bald.
