MGblues Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I was at my local tattoo shop last night getting some work done on my backpiece and got to witness an 82 year old lady accompanied by her grown children get her first and probably only tattoo. She got "DNR" in small fancy script over her heart. Turned out she has a bad ticker and wanted a Do Not Resuscitate tattoo. She took it like a champ. It was awesome!

Pugilist Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I love stories about older folks getting tattooed. So great. I hope to be one of them someday.

MGblues Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Yeah, @Pugilist, just what ARE "older folks"?!?!?!?!?!?!? @Dan S the past few years have convinced me that the old adage "Age ain't nothing but a number" is true. At 46 years old I don't put any limitations on myself outside of what do I want or feel like doing today, because i might get hit by a train tomorrow (seriously, it could happen. I work for the railroad). When that AARP card comes in the mail I will ceremoniously burn that motherfucker!!!

Nate Pea Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I recently tattooed a bloke in his 80's but he was pretty much sleeved. I added the names of his grandchildren to his hands, both sides between thumb and forefinger I felt it was something of an honour to be adding to this blokes collection and was kind of in awe......like his tattoo's are commonplace now but back when he had them he was making a real statement Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2730-witnessed-something-awesome-last-night/#findComment-45914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan S Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Over 30 is old-age?!?!?!?!?!?! Shit, I'm damn near a fossil then. (don't tell that to any of the kids I get into the ring with-might make 'em overconfident) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2730-witnessed-something-awesome-last-night/#findComment-45916 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan S Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 It was sarcastic :) I know, my man, it's all good! Actually, my reply was, as well. That's my favorite schtick, telling guys they have to take it easy on me, I'm just a frail old man, all that shit, as we glove up. Doesn't work so good anymore. eisen777 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2730-witnessed-something-awesome-last-night/#findComment-45922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisen777 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I know.....but I work with people between 18-25 who think 30+ is old. Its funny.

Pugilist Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 As a professor, I am very used to being treated like I am super ancient by my 18-22 year old students. I am 31. Who even knows anymore. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2730-witnessed-something-awesome-last-night/#findComment-45925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
