I'm neher a football-hooligan-turned-bouncer nor a gay man, and I fd tertg how the two groups, which are many ways iologilly opposed, share such a strikg symbol. It mak sense for gay men to fetishise the shaven head, as the fg feature of a male homosexual is his eroticisatn of the penis.

For a fascistic thug, though, the ifitn of the c*ck mak ls sense, unls one subscrib to the sneerg viewpot that every homophobe is a reprsed homosexual sred of his own we n nsir, though, is the fact that male pattern baldns affects whe men far more - and far earlier - than men of other rac.

What else do gay men and skhead thugs have mon? Did you know Rsian crimals the 1950s had a secret tattoo to intify gay people? ‘Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos’Acrdg to famo gay tattooist Samuel Steward (also known as Phil Sparrow), the gay muny particular really began embracg tattoos the 1950s.

Steward was born 1909 and led many varied rol life, cludg a profsor at a Roman Catholic universy and an thor of gay pulp was also the official tattoo artist for the motorcycle club, the Hells Angels Oakland, California. Steward published his thoughts on gay men gettg tattoos his 1990 book Bad Boys & Tough Tattoos: A Social History of the Tattoo wh Gangs, Sailors, and Street-Corner Punks.

Steward said: ‘One change, however, me about the homosexual attu towards tattoos around 1954. ’He ntued: ‘Followg the natnal release of the movie The Wild One wh Marlon Brando; the origal motorcycle film, seemed to crystallize or release, the obscure and long-hidn feelgs of many homosexuals. ’Steward believ tattoos beme a symbol of masculy for gay men, closely tied wh the gay leather said: ‘I was overwhelmed by the sudn appearance of so many of the figur… as the impulse of many homosexuals to be nsired more mascule — by the addn of a tattoo — grew stronger.
