I`ll post pics soon.

I loved it! Great overall experience… I read for a little bit but not too long; it was great just to chat with the artist.

It felt more theraputic than painful actually….and I feel like it took really well to my body as it isn`t bleeding at all, not lifting or puffy or anything – it just looks…[Read more]

Thanks, msmercury. I love your Freddy piece, btw. One of the greatest bands and one of the greatest singers that ever lived. And the artwork is kickass, too!

You’re very welcome and thank you for appreciating my Freddie tattoo and Queen! I actually love my tattoo so much, I think I have fallen in love with my leg 😀

Welcome to the forum! It is a great forum and you will have a good time here. 🙂

That’s very lovely. Good luck in art school! I started out majoring in art myself, but, unfortunately, I did not finish and get my degree. Perhaps you will share some of your work as you progress through school!

Beautiful work, you’ll have no problems!

Probably. She wants a colorful parrot on her shoulder.

That would be beautiful!! Now, I think I’ll go and do a hip shimmy for old times’ sake. 🙂

I had my ears pierced at 40, so I wanted to do something for my 50th. I’m a Belly Dancer, and am around a LOT of tattoos. I liked some of the pretty tattoos my dance sisters had, so I decided to get one of my own.

I’m telling my wife I’m getting a tongue stud for my 60th – she isn’t amused! I planned the 50 year tatt for…[Read more]

First one at 50? wow thats great – what made you finally take the plunge?

I have some tatts that are 22+ years old and still look great!

Well, long story short, I had been making a lot of changes in my life in the past 3 or 4 years (had problems with low self-esteem, shyness etc all my life) and had decided to finally…[Read more]

I like it, I like it, and welcome to the forum!

My first take was as another has all ready said, Vivien Leigh, but I’m just not sure. :confused:

lol Good point. 😀

It can be. Lifespans have actually declined in the US, due primarily to poor diet and lack of exercise. For those who take care of themselves though, 50 is nothing. 🙂

So true! I do try. I run 5 miles every single day with rarely a day off. I like the high too much! I also do strength training…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum. You’re gonna’ like it here!

50 is still young too.

Thank you! I sure still feel like I’m 18 and most people complain I still act it! 😀

50 here. Got my first tattoo for my 50th birthday. I figure that I’m old enough to know what I want. I’m planning at least one more – a lotus flower on the nape of my neck.

I figure that older folks have the advantage with tattoos – our tatts will still look decent when we cack off!

I didn’t get mine until I was 50, but I…[Read more]

I just wanted to thank you for calling 30s young. 33 here. 🙂

You are young! And you are welcome!! Enjoy your 30s, it is a great age. Still young and hip and not too old to flaunt it! When you get a little bit older, people start to criticize and look at you funny for being youthful. But I say, just have fun and be…[Read more]

Yup this is a great forum – one of the best Tattoo ones and a great bunch of people

I really could not tell you why people choose to get their first Tattoo at the age of 60 – but you know what? Good for them – some people might be the cautious types and wait until they have finished paying off a house, kids have gone to…[Read more]

There really aren’t a lot of active tattoo forums (not sure why). This site is the most active I’ve found, so you really won’t run into many older tattoo enthusiasts.

Could be late mid-life crisis, could be something happened to them that was significant (like turning 60 isn’t significant??!!), whatever the reason, I…[Read more]
