New here & to tattoos

[JAC1961]

Hey all.  I just got my first tattoo in August... at the ripe old age of 56.  I've always doubted the 'once you get one, you'll want more', until I got one.  It's true, I'm already planning my next.  Thought it be nice to join up to be able to ask questions and enjoy everyone else's work.

welcome fellow old guy ! LOL I'm 58 and have been getting tattooed since the 80's and still getting work done and I am as addicted as ever ! I will say I have gotten more tattoos in the last 10 years than ever as well.

 

welcome to the addiction.

Welcome! At 62, I'm the oldest guy...to post so far. I got my first tattoo just a few weeks before my 61st birthday and my second 6 months later. I have the itch badly at this point but have not found a local artist I want to work with and haven't had any time to really concentrate on an artist and what I want to do for my next. At some point, though, the itch will overcome my patience...............

And I am the old lady at 54. Welcome!!

Hey, hey, glad to see I'm not the only one that started/continued at an older age.  I'd like to think that I'm past the point where I'll regret it later in life. lol

Here's a pic of my first. Never have taken the time to get a good one.

You are a gentleman, Mark (and well trained). :) @Devious6

Didn't start late - but I am 61 and still at it!

Got my first one at 52. I started with a sleeve and I've been working pretty steady for the last 7 years. Now have two sleeves, two chest panels, full back and working up the right leg to tie it in with the chest and back. May wind up with a body suit. All by the same tattooer, Japanese theme. Go big or go home.

I had no idea that at 47 I'm the kid here.

I have to admit to being 50 at this point then :-)...  thought it was just me with the continuing tattoo thing ...obviously not then- which is of course marvellous.

Looks like I'm hanging in there for the "Oldest Living Person on Last Sparrow" award. Considering the alternative, I'm OK with that.
