"Everyone looks great with tattoos.
i disagree ... but i wouldn't discourage people from having them. they are free to choose and i support that "
It’s personal choice at the end of the day but I’m yet to see someone with good tattoos that doesn’t look great. Terrible tattoos is another story. |

"I'm thinking of getting a couple of tattoos, mainly for cosmetic reasons, on my calf's, as my legs embarrass me in shorts. I'm VERY nearly 65, is that too old?
"
Not too old at all. Be careful, they are addictive! |

Mrs has a couple and loves them but she can’t deal with the pain so won’t get more. I’d be covered if I could afford it. |

Have you got some designs planned? If you get a good artist just tell them what bothers you and they will work with you to find something you will feel proud to show off. |

Yes I have. Being a motorcyclist, they are biker themed, with the larger and darker one covering the offending calf.
Could send a pic if you like? X |

If your legs embarrass you, then if it's varicose veins then a reputable tattooist with not do it. As this can lead to implications. If there's no health reasons then go for it age is irrelevant  |

Yes it's varicose veins.
I've done plenty of research, and a lot of tattooist's say it's fine. |

I'm good friends with my tattoo artist and she regularly tells me of 'older'(not old) clients she gets who come and see her for their first tattoo
I think being 'too old' for something is subjective.
I'm nearly 40 and almost covered but if I still have space when I'm 65 ill continue to have them
Just go what you want and what makes you happy. Anyone who thinks you're too old for a tattoo isn't anyone you need in your life x |

I have 2 varicose veins I've had since I was child and had both of them tattooed over with no issues. |

You're only too old for something when you're dead. Life is short, do whatever you want to do! |

Had my first tattoo when I was 50, my second at 60. You are never too old, go for it |

Zac has some upper body tattoos which suit him. Me(Jane) I've never ever wanted any.
I think as long as a person has them for individual personal reasons that mean alot to that person! then age or gender is irrelevant. |
