"Defiance Chic" In Manchester: "Holier Than Though" Bee Tattoos

If only it was the equivalent of saying, "Jihad, bee-gone!":
Hundreds of Mancunians have been queuing to get their city's symbolic worker bee tattooed on them in the wake of the terror attack that rocked the city.  
Members of the public were filmed outside the city's Holier Than Thou tattoo centre as they waited in the scorching sun, while other parlours reported large numbers queuing for the design. 
Minimum donations of £40 were taken from customers, but many were paying up to £100 for their bee tattoo, with all the money raised being donated to the Manchester Arena Victim's Fund. 
The worker bee was adopted as a motif for Manchester during the Industrial Revolution...
Something tells me that more than a few Mancunians who opted to get the tattoo will end up regretting their hasty decision.
