In 2012, more than 20 percent or 45 million Americans had one or more tattoos, so it is no more a surprise to sport some body art. And that number comprises not only of people in their early twenties but also a nice percentage of older people with tattoos. So we bet that most of the 45 million people before getting their tattoo designs inked were asked to think how they would look when they're in their 60s. Well, the best answer to that would probably be that no one will look as good in their sixties that they did in their twenties, so the ink has nothing to do with that, really.

Many people balk at the idea of getting a tattoo, either fearing that the aged tattoos will look bad or that it would be unfitting for an older person. While that's a matter of personal taste, these older people with tattoos are here to show you that their tattoo ideas and execution are just as impressive now as they were back then.

If you have a photo of some cool tattoos on older people, then we'd love to have their picture here in this list! Also, don't be so amazed that these elderly badasses are sporting some really nice ink and not your typical old people tattoos.

Her hair and clothes could be funkier to suit her tats and huge stretched earlobes.

I wonder what her story is. I love peoples stories. Random people. Special people. People like her, eyes sparkling, head's up. Or people with only a last glow. People and their story. But bc this topic, this woman, I really wonder what she has been through. Bet she is a fighter. Bet she fall and stood up very often. Not just bc of the tattoo but look in her eyes and see.

Hmmm. Looks good but skin needs facials and microdermabrasion.

The rouge and eyebrows need to be more subtle and a plain shirt would not clash!

I think she is amazingly beautiful and she obviously portrays herself as confident in the skin she's in.. Absolutely stunning..

Her tatoo and piercings (with the exception of what she has done to her ears) are fine, however, I find her makeup clown-like and scary.

Stupid looking old lady. She would be stupid looking as a young woman too.

um, love the tats, but I can do without the rings. Not for me to judge, though, is it?

I bet she was/is in the Circus and if her head was shaved it would have a full tat.

This man can't be 60! 40 maybe? Some men really wear grey/white hairs /facial hairs well. Damn he is looking good.

Same as #27, but she's gotten more ink since this pic was taken.
