Got my first tat when I was 50. Since then I've acquired a few more and as you might have guessed most of them are butterflies. I have some chinese writing, cherry blossoms and a heart with my deceased son's name along with his birthday and date of death as a memorial. I'm thinking about having his portrait done sometime soon. My tats are all beautiful works of art and I get so many compliments for them. Yes, there are some that give me that strange look but I don't care, I sometimes tell them to take a picture it lasts longer. My husband has 2 full sleeves which he got over the years which he loves showing off to everyone. Our grandchildren think we are the coolest grandparents, ever.

Wow! Beautiful! nt. polly7 Jan 2013 #1
