What do Jennifer Aniston and Susan Sarandon have in common? They are over 40 and have recently had tattoos done. Susan Sarandon, who is 65, has only recently had the initials of her children inscribed and Jennifer Aniston, who is 43, also only recently had a tattoo done in memory of her deceased pet.
So how old is too old to get a tatt?
This link to an article covers a grandma who got her first tattoo at 99 and at 101 has been back for more tattoos. Age? Pfft!
There has been a growing trend over recent years of older woman getting tattoos. These tattoos are not the large dark ink tribal patterns you see going down an arm or a huge dragon that covers your back. While it could be argued that tattoos in the past may have been seen as a form of rebellion or represent membership of a gang, that doesn’t have to be the reason. Instead, tattoos can be simple featuring small designs such as a butterfly or angel. Often they are done in memory of a loved one or maybe a date celebrating the birth of a child, the passing of a parent or commemorating a significant event.
You are never too old to get a tattoo but this is obviously a personal decision as is the design and reason for it.
What do you think? Would you get a tattoo?
