Look,
a. The odds of anyone seeing me nekkid are about as good as me getting bit by a rabid armadillo... so the world is safe.
b. My skin is going to get older and wrinklier and saggier—— why not add color?
c. Judging by most posts on FR, old women are damned ugly period and beyond contempt, so why worry? I'm doomed just by the ticking of the clock---- so I might as well have fun with later years.
d. It’ll give the nurses something to talk to me about in the nursing home “And this one here is for when I turned 65 and climbed Mount Everest in my pajamas.”

Hehe, I just figure if I'm wrinkly enough that my tat looks THAT bad (I DO have a "tramp stamp" BTW), then my wrinkles probably look bad enough on their own... *shrug*

HAHAHAHA that's great. I think you're my hero! ;)

FTR, I just got my first tattoo at age 26. Since it's a "tramp stamp", I figure no one gets to see unless I very purposefully expose it. So who cares. The one I'm debating on is getting a cross on my ankle. I love the sentiment, but I'm still nervous about visible tats... *shrug*
