24 Tattooed Seniors Answer The Question: “What Will It Look Like In 40 Years?”

1. When deciding to get a tattoo, it’s hard not to think about what your piece will look like when you get older.

Tattoos are so common place these days, and it is always rumored that they will look horrible when you get older. Is that really true? These are not your average Grand-folks, and they seem to prove that rumor wrong. Their tattoos still look pretty darn good. Now I am NOT a tattoo girl - I don't have any, nor am I a big fan of them, but I have to admit, this is pretty cool. The article doesn't state if they ever had to get touch ups or not, but the photos are quite interesting. Lots of these people below have piercings as well.

Will it look cool or uncool years from now?

Your grandkids would never think you were a dork.

Those vibrant colors, tho.
