These Badass Seniors Prove That Your Tattoos Will Probably Look Awesome At Any Age (40 Pics)
A recent poll has found that more Americans have tattoos today than ever before. In fact, there’s been a 21% increase in people having at least one tattoo since 2012. And contrary to what skeptics believe, they are far from regretting it. In fact, 92%, which is a hopping majority, say they are totally happy with their ink art.
But when it comes to the older generation getting themselves a work of art embedded in the skin, skeptics get even more fierce. Luckily, the stigma is slowly going away thanks to some incredibly badass elders who rock their ink so well I watch them in awe.
So in order to celebrate seniors with fabulous tattoos, Bored Panda rounded up some of the most beautiful and creative examples in a list below. Scroll down, upvote your favorite pics and be sure to share your thoughts on tattooed elders in the comment section!

This Is Tanya. She Is An ER Nurse. Last Year She Came To Me To Get Her First Tattoo Ever... On Her Head
She told me that she had developed alopecia, lost all her hair and that she was finally ready and happy to reclaim a bit of her identity back and own her Alopecia. Last week she came back for session 2 and we did this flower on the other side of her head

Really stunning work! It looks like she is wearing a gorgeous floral fascinator hat. Tanya also must have an extremely high pain tolerance because that can't be the "easiest" place to get your first tattoo.

She got a pain tolerance so high she didn't even convince her husband to slap someone! Because she understood comedy!

To find out more about tattoos for seniors and whether they're more willing to go under the ink needle, Bored Panda spoke with Adam, the Studio Manager at Vagabond Tattoo. The studio was established in 2012 on East London’s popular Hackney Road and became known for their clean and original tattoos, spanning a range of styles. Vagabond Tattoo has made their name as one of the best contemporary tattoo studios in London.
When asked whether tattoos are getting more popular among older people, Adam said that he wouldn’t necessarily say so. Having said that, he explained the recent surge in people getting tattoos amid the pandemic: “I think we have seen an increase of older people who are already tattooed come in for more work then they usually would have. I think the fact that people haven't been able to travel as much has meant they have a bit more spare income to spend on themselves. Possibly there's more of a feeling of why put it off, let's just get more tattoos whilst we can!”

Das ist eine der schƶnsten Seniorinnen die je gesehen hab.
As for the particular tattoos he’d recommend for seniors, Adam believes there’s no rules. “Whatever tattoo they'd like to get!” However, some ink art designs may be harder on aged skin, so it’s good to keep that in mind. “I would say fine line tattoos are more difficult to tattoo on older skin, and they won't look the same as a 20-year-old's tattoos, but if it's something they want to get, then we try and accommodate them.” Adam added that “if we don't think it's a good idea, we'll tell them to do a similar design but in a bolder style,” so there’s always a solution that a good tattoo artist has at hand.

My Old Pappaw Has Waited So Long To Get This Tattoo
He was in the Navy Reserve as a young man and one night everyone was drinking and decided to get tattoos. He called home to ask my Granny if he could and she told him no. It's a good thing she did because the next morning they all woke up with swollen, infected tattoos. Finally, 58 years later, he can cross this off his bucket list.

"Iām Sure My Tattoos Look Very Old Fashioned To My Children, Who Have A Different Approach"
Lokiās Lil Butter Knife 3 years ago
I personally think it looks very elegant--I love the muted colour palette.
Sasha 3 years ago
Who cares. So does your dress and your hair style maybe, but considering how fashionable vintage is, most young people have long since stoped caring about that. Fads are still a thing, but theres so many different ones now that none are exactly thought of as unfashionable (except maybe the 90s but honestly i still think that looks cool and i dont think anyone would care that much) we got everything from hyper sexualized e-girls, to people dressing in modest 1930s style. In that sense, i think younger people really are less judgy.

Brave Lady, Lots Of Respect From Us
PeachPossum 3 years ago
Doctors and hospitals will not honor a tattooed DNR because it is not official. They will "reanimate" her, preferring to err on the side of caution. After all, I'm fairly certain being dead is a permanent state for most people. A few years ago, an unconscious man arrived in ER. He had a DNR tattoo on his chest. The later man went into full cardiac arrest. Being bound by their Hippocratic oath, the doctors revived him, but the man died the next day, never having regained consciousness. Still the situation presents a Catch-22 for doctors and hospitals: damned if they do and damned if they don't. Tattooed DNRs are not recognized by law as being an official DNR. That is true the US, but perhaps not in other countries.

I am 50, and although I did get a couple of tattoos when younger, they were on my back and easily hidden. In the last five years I’ve got a few arm ones (my latest being a portrait of my beloved Bowie). I also have facial piercings and usually have bright coloured hair (pink, blue etc). I find it’s the people of my own age who don’t like it, that I’m “too old”. Younger people think I’m cool! I’m also a gamer, something else older people are apparently not supposed to do. I love tattoos as an expression of me…my likes, things that are important to me etc. Plus when you get older, you stop caring so much what others think and you get to be the TRUE YOU and it’s absolutely wonderful

All these people getting them later in life is proof that people can change with the times always. The people who are terrified of BLM, and LGBQT and the change to being conscious consumers are cowards being left behind by the times, living in denial. The times we live in now have many problems, but so many of them are caused by the previous generation being so obstinate to change. While this is proof that theres those who have always resisted the norm and those who have spent their entire life conforming but can see the good thats come from being more accepting. You can either move forward or be left behind to die, and in this point in our history its not a metaphor anymore. Were at a tipping point, and while this tattoo thing might not seem like a big deal its a vital sign of a shift in attitude we sorely need right now
