The girl who did most of my tattoos said that a lot of her customers were over 40 and getting their first tattoos. And I can totally say that of the people who approach me about mine are older than I am and have often expressed that they wanted one when they were younger but waited.

I get a lot of people coming up to me to explain mine. It’s a fun way to meet people and strike up conversation. What’s not fun is that people feel free to rearrange my clothing to see the tattoos. That’s not always approriate. Had a guy look down the back of my dress once. WTF???

I’m old (or older, anyway!), from a very conservative family, so it’s not something I even contemplated before. But as I age I’m suddenly in need of a way to connect myself to the past and yet also look to the future. I’ve always been fascinated by the symbols people put on their bodies, want to stop and ask strangers what their ink means, and what it means to them, so soon I’ll be the one making others wonder about the strange talisman I’m wearing so proudly on my skin.
