I remember when my mom (boomer got upset with me for getting my first and only tattoo. “Just think what you’re going to look like when you’re sixty!”

“I’m probably going to just look like everyone my age.”

    God I always hated that shit. You're going to be wrinkly and old at 60 no matter what. No one is going to be drooling as you walk down the beach, tits/balls dragging in the sand, why would a bit of ink matter?

    And like, if a ton of people my age have tattoos then we’ll all have the same blotchy inked extremities and no one will think anything of it. We’ll all wind up at the nursing home telling each other “I think this used to be a bird.”

    Ha! I am nearly 60 and don't think I can afford to be wrinkly and old for at least 15 more years. But on tattoos, I worried that I might not like mine in my 40s but knew that I would love being a tattooed old woman. And this was way before they got popular - I certainly didn't expect that!
