“My cousin and I convinced our eighty year old grandmother to get her first tattoo with us,” writes the submittor of this tattoo. She looks a little stunned by the whole process, but that’s OK — I hope if I live to eighty and have grandkids that they take me out for chamaeleon skin or whatever kids are doing in 2053…
BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what
that’s amazing, i wish i could get my 80 yr old gram to do something like that!
Very cool!
Guess there’s no point asking how it’s going to look when she gets old 😛
Great. Just great!
best thing ever!!
That is so awesome! 🙂
My grandad (83) is an ardent communist (in his world view, I, with my centre – libertarian politics, might as well be Thatcher) and we think he should get a hammer and sickle tattooed on the top of his head.
He’s considering it, as well, but can you get a tattoo if you’re on warfarin or similar?
I’m impressed, my grandmother doesn’t like my tattoos at all.
i LOVE that…. never to late to try somthing new!
Awww that’s awesome!
Yay nana!
sooooo sweet! =))
my mother, sister, and friend all got matching heart outlines on the outside of their wrists. I love it.
awwww so cool 😀
Wicked! Nana’s got some natty threads too
That’s so awesome!
I love it!
that is so badass! if only my granny were so open to tattoos!
Today is my grandmother’s 81st birthday and I doubt I would be able to convince her to do this. This granny has got to be the coolest chickadee at the senior center!
Aw!
She looks a bit vacant….this post reminds me of something I wondered a while back about the age of informed consent fading out again as your faculties deteriorate. On the bright side, as 3 said, no comments about ‘mweh mweh what about when you get old’.
awww thats so sweet. 🙂
Aww, AshPlant thats pretty damn mean. She looks perfectly healthy, and “all there” to me.
Anyways,
Thats so sweet and cute 🙂 I would love to do that with my mom and grandmother
amazingg……just amazing lol
WOOOOOOOOOT!!…I love my grandma
Coolest grandma i’ve ever seen 🙂
thats sooo coooll.. ur grandmaaa is the coolesttt
hearts rule tooo man
congratesssss…. hands down.. she is awesome
If simply looking “vacant” meant your faculties had deteriorated, a good deal of the young population would be in 24-hour nursing care. I know the malls would be virtually empty and there wouldn’t be any full clubs.
(BTW, Granny looks great.)
Meh. I suppose old people look like that. And I have criticised people for making daft judgements from a single Modblog photo before. *shame* Although it was just reminding me, and the original thought was about something completely different (my granny doesn’t even recognise my dad now).
lol I wish my grandma was so openminded!
Oh and Em here’s what I got googling tattoos and warfarin

Not quite sure why this was tagged “funny”, let alone “children and animals” 😛
My grandmother is all there buddy….This was her idea….And yes she does recognize all her grandkids, great grandkids, her kids, my grandfather….Tough as nails she is…
I don’t know about you guys, but I personally look a little “vacant” myself after getting tattooed.
hehehe, thats nice 🙂
I don’t think she looks vacant at all. She looks pretty engaged to me. Its a matter of opinion. I Love how she is holding thei arms together. She is obviously as intensely connected by this bonding ritual and seems as stoked as her much younger family members. Rave on Grandma!
That is really touching.
i want a tattoo of the nana’s shirt. my nana has this tattoo 082938459 from nazis.
I wish my grandmother was that cool dammit!
AAAAWWWW she’s awsome!
That is so awesome 🙂
your grandma is so fucking cool 🙂
That girl on the left in the picture looks like a friend from college! If it’s her then, “Go Kim!” I wish I could get my oma to get a tattoo with me…sigh.
Awww. Not that my Grandma who just passed would *ever* think of doing that with me, but I wish I could have.
