Not for them myself but,,, my friends daughter has a beautiful black tree up the inside of her arn to the elbow. The reason was mum found out she was self harming through bullying, it was hidden under her school blouse, and as she got to her twenties and problems behind her she was left with with lines up her arms, she tried to get it sorted but the tattoo was the only option and thankfully it looks beautiful, the lady had a nasty red scar that regardless couldn't get it sorted either after going for help, it was on the top of her arm the size of an old penny so she had a tattoo of a flower round it, to disguise it.

I hate tattoos too. DD2 has several, quite artistic ones, but I feel they ruin her perfect body. She knows I don’t like tattoos in general so I don’t comment.

I've never had a tattoo and never will. That's just my personal choice but others choose to have them so that's fine as well.

The vast majority of tattoos look revolting on women.

I know tattoos are a thing now, & I’ll probably be slated, but whilst on holiday, & walking round the seaside today, I noticed a lot of woman in their 60s/70s have tattoos.
I think they probably had them in the 90s as the tattoos looked blue & faded.
I know friends of mine had them done, especially around the belly button, shoulder & lower back.
Some regret getting them done, two have had them removed.

Now all the younger people seem to have full sleeves & full thighs, & lower legs, is this trend persuading the older generation to get one?
I know, each to their own, but personally I don’t care for tattoos.
Just wondering what other grans think of tattoos?
Do some grans have them & regret getting them done?
