I might get a tattoo next month. Am I too old?

I’ll turn 56 in January. I’ve never wanted a tattoo before but I think I want to do it.

Am I too old?

No, you’re not. I’ll be 65 next month (!) and still plan to get one probably last tattoo—a small sunflower—in memory of my mother.

My son't fiancée has been trying to talk me into getting one, she said you're never too old. lol
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@FreeSpirit1 are you going to do it?
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
@Jenny1234 I might, something small. maybe on my thigh
Prison1203 · 61-69, M
@FreeSpirit1 my moms 81 and she just gay 5 within the last 4 months after swearing for years she wouldn’t ever get one. I’m 62 and just had both arms done in sleeves in the last 18 months

Nah, I got my first (and only) one at 55... go for it!
HumanEarth · F
I know someone that is 72 and just got a tattoo


This is not them, but this is just some sweet 84 year old lady that got her first tattoo.

So that being said. If she can do it at 84. You can do at your age.

I kept putting it off but you should go for it 🤗
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F

Lilymoon · F
@Jenny1234 no never bothered .. I probably won't tbh but you never know haha

bookerdana · M
Too late ,Methuselah let the younguns pass😤

Just kidding🤐 idk,I think age isn't a big factor now...I'm too pale but thats my look out
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
tattoos are personal expression, never too old for that. Just make sure you go to a reputable place.
You're absolutely never too old for a tattoo

You’re never too old. I got one for my 50th birthday. My niece and I have been designing my next one for 55.
factanonverba · 61-69, M
If you don't mind, I would like to ask two questions. First, where on your body do you plan on getting a tattoo? Second, what kind of shape is your skin in? Also, if you are going to a tattoo shop, I highly recommend you call the local health department and ask if the shop has had any violations.
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@factanonverba my arm. My son in law is a professional tattoo artist in Montreal so he will do it

Now as for the shape of my skin, can you elaborate? Not sure I understand
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@factanonverba I don’t have any skin problems like eczema if that’s what you mean
SW-User
You’re definitely NOT too old!!
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
You are NOT too old at all...def do it🙂
SW-User
NEVER too old to do what pleases you.
Adogslife · 61-69, M
If the tattoo will have special meaning for you, of course do it. You’re not too old.

I’m going to get one once I’m good enough to stick fight (Kali) at a specific “gathering”. That’ll be my “reward” for years of training. I’m 64.
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@Adogslife is that the same Kali here I blocked years ago?
Adogslife · 61-69, M
@Jenny1234 No. Kali is a martial art that focuses on fighting with 28” hardened rattan sticks. There’s a lot of knife training too, but that’s rarely done with live blades.
factanonverba · 61-69, M
There is a knife company called ESEE knives, located in Gallant, alabama. Their mascot is the bullet ant. I am planning on having their company logo (bullet ant) tattooed on my right forearm. I just have to decide how big I want it.
Not too old at all. Tattoos don't carry the status they used too.

Out of seven brother and sister in laws (including me), only two of them don't have tattoos.
Nicenlongnthick · 41-45, M
Your never to old if you feel you want one think about it.make sure you will love it for ever..research your artist and go for it
JohnnyNoir · 61-69, M

Remembering a beach pic of yours I'd say with these vibes, absolutely get one.
I would, in a different time..
SW-User
Never too old, I watched a video just this week of a lady in her 90’s getting her first tattoo 💞✨
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
I don't see the point of them, yet I'm not against them. 🤷🏻‍♂

It's a matter of choice.
Prettybratbi1tch · 26-30, F
Do you think you're too old? That's the only opinion that should matter
Northvanscotty · 51-55, M
Im in the same frame of mine. Never thought I’d want one. Never found them attractive on people other than personal ones with deep meaning. I survived a cardiac arrest last year. Thought it might be cool to have one done incorporating my scar from my implanted defibrillator /pace maker. And ideas ? Thinking maybe a hand squeezing a heart. Or things crawling out of the scar.
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@Northvanscotty just an affirmation
Nope, you're not. I might too in the future!
Selah ·
Thats very cool. What are you getting?
DownTheStreet · 56-60, M
I don’t think there’s a age limit, you’re fine
LemonWorld · F
Youre not too old!! Get as many as you want
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@MsSwan do you have a tatoo?
@Jenny1234 No, I never got any.
youre still young. go for it.
SW-User
I've never seen the age rule book
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
You're not old, it's fine.
Sevendays · M
Never too old. Go for it.
SW-User
Probably a great time
Tumbleweed · F
Never too old!
ronisme1 · 70-79, M
No you are not
Sutten · 41-45, F
Never! get it!
SissySecrets · 46-50
Never too late.

..but I hear that Angels have belly button piercings, so I'm still good to go!
OldBrit · 61-69, M
No of course not. Be you and embrace yourself and life while you have it.

What you thinking of getting?
FoolishLuna · 56-60, F
Go for it. If you want it. Don’t do it for anyone one else but you!! It’s for life.,
gandalf1957 · 61-69, M
base of your back? seems a popular place with the ladies
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@gandalf1957 not my back no
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
No you are not too old. What are you thinking of getting?
Notsimilarreally · 31-35, F
I think my mom was 56 when I took her to get her first tattoo.
nobodyishome · 31-35, F
What is your tattoo about
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@nobodyishome it’s an affirmation. A daily reminder of things really important I need to do in my life. Maintenant ou Jamais. (Now or never)
Harmonium1923 · 56-60, M
Not at all. Youth is wasted on the young. What do you have in mind?
Jenny1234 · 56-60, F
@Harmonium1923 a reminder and an affirmation of something I really need to do in my life. It will say maintenant ou jamais
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@Jenny1234 what is the meaning?
Lilymoon · F
@Baybreeze now or never
You're never too old!
