My first tatto was done when my husband turned forty (he didnt want to do it alone) It is a hummingbird on my right hip I don't regret it at all and often think about getting a paw print of my current dog now that I am nearing 50. Being tasteful is the most important part of gettting a tattoo

Always loved this idea!!!

I actually have 4 tattoos.

I at the age of 63 got my first tattoo. It angel wings with Mom & Dad written in them. I miss my parents and wanted them close. So I did a tattoo.

Judy, I just have to reply to your post as I am almost 60 and do have the 14 tattoos and will get more when we go to sturges. They do fade a bit but don't go south like everything else tends to do when we age and I get lots of comments on them, all good. As for getting a job with them they can be covered by long sleves or long pants. I am not yelling at you just letting you know. Also I got them because this is something I choose to do for me and something nobody can take from me.

I am not into pain & would not even consider a tattoo for me
|
The closest I've come is my best friend got her eyebrows tattooed back on after losing them to chemo. Brilliant idea,
they looked great! |
No way! I'm too afraid of needles. I stab myself enough, I don't need anyone else doing it to me! :lol:
|
really my friend,,,,,,, a belly button piercing/ hahaha. glad you are back online....jacie

I got a tattoo at age 50. Figured If I still wanted one at that age I was probably not going to change my mind. I have a small rosebud on my ankle. My kids nearly came unglued!!
|
I've thought about getting a tattoo before, but I don't think I ever will. The permanency of it scares me.
If I ever did get one, I'd probably get it in a place easy to hide. Possibly in white ink (I've seen pictures, it's not so jarring, but it's still there). Don't laugh, but I'd probably get my favorite Bible verse done in Elvish script (it's a lord of the rings thing...). So when I wanted to do something a little crazy, after I got married and moved out of my parent's house, I got my nose pierced. Not that crazy, but my dad wouldn't let me get it pierced when I lived at home. And I figured - you only live once, and I'm young. I can always take it out and let it close up. For now I'm loving the piercing. Don't know if I'll ever get rid of it..maybe when I become a parent, but I kind of doubt it. :) I do appreciate the beautiful tattoos out there. And DH has one on his chest, which I like. :) |
I have several the first was a butterfly on a rose with a stem on my shoulder when I was twenty-five, thought I was getting old, and back then it was really a bad girl thing to do, and for once I wanted to be bad, lol :D
|
I have one tattoo that I got when I was 18 and just joined the Navy. I wanted to do something to celebrate my new independent life. Since my name is Angel, I got a cartoon “lil devil” with a pitchfork and halo. My name always gives people some higher expectation to live up to. I cringe when people ask if I really am an Angel. It is in a discreet location because it is for me and nobody else. I don’t regret it at all.
|
I have a real tatoo! and have a motorcycle to go with it.
The looks I get from people when they see me get off my bike to have a tea on a terrass, and then see me take out some hand piecing and start sewing in my leather riding pants...who says quilters are dowdy old biddies? |

I have an ongoing piece that runs from my right shoulder blade down my side almost to the waist. It's a black & gray scrollwork with a lily at the top, I love it and eventually it'll go down my hip, leg & ankle (when I have $ to blow, lol). It's gorgeous and everytime I go out in public with it exposed I get compliments. I waited until I was over 30 & separated because my ex hated tats. I picked a good location for weight gain/loss & I can totally cover it if needed.
I do have an exposed eyebrow piercing but most people don't even notice it with the jewelry in, it's subtle. Someone mentioned tattooing over scars. I have a lower back surgery scar and my surgeon said it was fine to tattoo over it after a year, my tattoo guy agreed. I can't bring myself to do it though, I had enough pain in that location to do it again but the zipper idea is funny, my ex said I should do that too. I wish I could take a good pic of my tat by myself but it's a little big for mirror self photos! |
Not even tempted to do the tramp stamp thing

I got my tatoo in 1999. It's a mushroom with a butterfly on it. It's less than 2 in tall and the colors have stayed good after all of these years. Eventually I want to get a ankle bracelet tatoo. Nothing too large maybe a vine with flowers and a few small butterflies. I love my tatoo. I have 5 kids and all of them have tattoos also; they are grown. I have no problem with having a tattoo but I tell everyone; when you get one make sure you do so where you can cover it up when you want too and it's not something that would embarrass you in years to come.

According to my kids (all 5) and their friends they are only called tramp stamps if they are on your back right above your tosh; where you can see when you bend down slightly.

I am a critical care nurse, a fairly respectable profession, I keep my personal life very private from work. I was getting report from another nurse one evening and she proceeded to tell me that the young woman whose care I was assuming was "trashy" well I can not stand when people are jugemental so I asked why she would say this, she replied"well she has tattoos all over her back and legs" I then replied " Charlene, how long have you known me?", She replied " about 5 years why? I then said what do you think of my character? She said I think you are a great person what are you talking about? I then proceeded to pull up my sleaves, pull down my scrub top, started to pull my pants down well you get the picture, Needles to say she turned very pale and then very red! Moral of the story .... JUDGE NOT !!!!!!!!! Bet she thought twice from then on about judging a book by it's cover :) I always say "never judge a book by it's cover, you might miss the best story you ever read" :) robin |
I have my tattoo on my breast and have had it for 22 years; it's stil there where I put it. That says alot since several years back I had to have a breast reduction and the doctor was so great that he said he wanted to make sure my tattoo stayed in tact. I'm glad he did.
|
I have 6....one on each ankle, one on the back of each leg, one on my my chest and one on the back of my neck.
I love Art! robin |
Several years ago I got sick and after all of my life having great thick hair mine thinned out; everywhere. My eyebrows only grow half way across and I hate the way pencil looks. I found a licensed specialist who actually has done alot of the stars makeup and went for it. First I got my eyebrows done then I got my eye lids done. I love it and when I got my eyebrows done people kept telling me I looked good and wanted to know what I had done. Most people didn't notice my eyebrows but it bothered me to no end. But it's funny how many people where trying to figure out what was different about me. I have allergies and hate to wear makeup because I'm always rubbing my eyes and applying lotion on my face. Now I have the look without the hassle. It's especially great when I put my contacts in and I don't have to worry about eye liner. They now have ink with pain killer in it so it isn't as bad as it used to be.

Since my butterfly with my kids names is on my lower back, guess I'm a tramp! :shock: |
My DH just got one and they tried to talk me into one. He said, "wouldn't you like a quilt block on you somewhere?" I said, "I can't decide which quilt I want to work on from day to day, how would I ever decide on a quilt that I would want to look at for life!!!"

My brother got the hand with the puppet strings from the Godfather movie tattooed on his shoulder. It looks pretty sweet. |
I have three - a rose on my back right shoulder, a celtic vine around my upper left arm and a Kokopelli on my upper right arm.

I'm a 55 yr. Old Grandma. I have the first letter of myself, husband and my two daughter's names tattooed kind of graffiti style on the top of my left foot. I have had it for four years. No regrets.

Got two tattoo's at 62, one on my right wrist that says 1984 Coast to Coast USA (pedaled a bicycle at age 38) it reminds me that no matter what the age there will always be mountains to climb, the other is a celebration of my three GK-- they are a clown fish (Samuel) a forceps fish(Parker) and a blue tang(Alaina) all fish that I saw while snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia, Tattoos have lots of personal significance for the people who get them.

Yup sure do just one...two hearts on my ankle.....but I will never get another!
