    my 75 year old grandmother has a pierced navel :shock:

    as far a tatoos aging well or not... wrinkled saggy skin isn't exactly attractive all on it's own... so until then I will enjoy my tatoo, and after -- I'll be to old and saggy to care (I hope) or if I do, I just won't try to twist and turn myself around to look at it :D

    We'll all have cataracs so who cares! Ha
    LOL! If I ever did get this tattoo it would be in a place that only I or my spouse would see it. When I'm old and wrinkly I wouldn't be showing off that area anyway. ;)

    would love to but very phobic of needles I tend to panic. People laugh because I give shots to animals all day. I just tell them I'm not getting the shot so its okay. I compare myself to an aggressive crybaby chihuahua when it comes to needles. I act like a baby and also may bite hah hah

    I don't have an issue with needles so I don't know if this help any, but the gun doesn't actually look like a needle -- it kinda looks like an old caligraphy pen (quill?) unless you get right up to it

    I remember when my grandmother was in her 70's she went to Miami Beach with a bunch of her friends for two weeks. When she came home she had had her eyebrows tattooed so she wouldn't have to put eyebrow pencil on anymore. My father told her she was acting like a naughty teenager. LOL I thought it was awesome.
