I don't. Mostly because I didn't want to go through life with a tattoo I regretted.

My mother was almost 80 when she startled me (putting it mildly) by saying, "It would be silly now, but I always wanted a little rose on my ankle."

I offered to take her and pay for it but she demurred.

She would have had fourteen years to enjoy it.
@Mamapolo2016 I got my first tattoo when I was 20. I’d already left home. I knew my mother thought they were "tacky" so I made sure it was covered whenever I went home. When I was ill and in the hospital in 2008, I had three more. The nurse was caring for me and Mom saw them.
She raised her eyebrows, but said nothing. "I’ve had them for years," I told her. “I know," she replied. "Your sister told me back when she got hers. I still think tattoos are ‘[i]grossier[/i]’ but at least yours are pretty."
