What happens to your tattoo when you get old
In the impression, tattoos are just the exclusive privilege of young people. Almost everyone with a tattoo will be asked, "You're tattooing your body like this now. What do you want to do when you're older?"
One of the reasons our parents warned us not to go for a tattoo at first: Tattoos that are visible to outsiders grow older and look stigmatizing with age.
This also caused everyone to have self-doubt before tattooing: "Will the tattoo on my body makes me look weird until the day when my hair is full?"
A photography project called "Tattoo Age" in the Netherlands changed the stereotype that "when you get older, you will regret it" by taking pictures of 25 elderly people showing their tattoos confidently.
The photography project sponsors Ingrid Meijering and Marion Duimel are photographers in The Hague, Netherlands. In the past three years, I have been photographing elderly people (over 65 years old) with tattoos, using cameras to record those grandparents with personality
The two photographers said they had the idea because, a few years ago, they found a lot of tattooed elderly people on the beach, and then they decided to record these people.
Two photographers say that one of the biggest misconceptions is that young people only tattoo, but this is not always the case.
Most of the people in the photo have not been tattooed in the past 10 years when they were over half a year old.
Tattoos are never too late, and elderly people with tattoos are not gangsters. The grandmother and grandmother of kindness, grandmother, who buys food downstairs, usually makes no difference.
Some of them have tattoos dating back to the Sixties and Seventies when tattoos brought them more stigma than they do now. Their tattoos include everything from gifts from grandsons to memories of lost loved ones, etc ...
In 2012, more than 20% or 45 million Americans had one or more tattoos. This number includes not only young people in their twenties but also some older people.
Most people are asked to think about how they looked in their 60s before tattooing. The most truthful answer is that many people are unwilling to accept the idea of tattoos now because they worry that they will not look good when they are old. They think that tattoos are only suitable for young people.
Although this is a matter of personal preference, I have to say a cruel fact that the physical status of the 20-year-old and the 60-year-old is not comparable at all. Whether or not there is a tattoo, the skin will sag and wrinkle by the age of 60 ...
Whang Od is the oldest tattoo artist in the Philippines. Her village has become a tourist attraction because of her tattooing skills, and some foreign tourists have come here. It is worth mentioning that the old woman is 100 years old. Her tattoo technique is a little different from the mass market. It is an evolution of the ancient tattoo technique in the local area and has its own uniqueness.

Most of the lady's tattoos still look vibrant.
Isobel Varley from Yorkshire, England, was certified by the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest tattooed lady in the world in 2000.
In Texas, a 56-year-old lady named Julie proved that women can be sexy and beautiful even if they are old.
When we get old, the ink on our bodies will be proof of memories of the past.
It's too busy, too late. The real meaning of living in the present moment is not to let you indulge in pleasures. Many things you want to do, you will always be there if you don't do it.
I'm saying that the first batch of people after 80, 90 are no longer young after being crushed by life, but I still want to say: tattoos have no age limit if you don't have time to be young, but now you can choose to grow seriously.
