Is it normal at 53 to want a tattoo

I have no wrinkles I am HOT and I still think tats are cool so there and I don't want anyone I'm happily married for 30 yrs so no bikers or boy toys

You are awesome. If you want a tattoo, go right ahead and get one. If anyone has a problem with it ignore them or tell them off.

Yes, it's normal to have any tattoos at any age you want. I believe tattoos express your thoughts and your imagination at the present time you get it. I, myself, would despise getting a tattoo for myself, because I would know that I would regret in later, for the fact that my thoughts and personality will change. The other half of me thinks that it would be pretty fun and cool to get a tattoo that expresses my imagination and thoughts. *IMaggination!* (SpongeBob SquarePants) :P
What I think I won't regret as of a tattoo is a butterfly or a star. I would also get a dragonfly tattoo, since it's a bit more beautiful than a butterfly or star. I think stars would be a bit more beautiful than butterflies. I don't know.. it depends. When I was around 5 I had this fake tattoo on my right shoulder that was a butterfly, and my sister who was around 9 had the same fake tattoo, but a different color. Mine was orange, and hers was blue. Perhaps that is why I just love butterflies as a tattoo suggestion! I think they're popular, so you probably should get a dragonfly, or any other animal/insect/etc. IRL insects/bugs I usually came across in my life are worms, rolly pollies, mosquitos, flies, cockroaches, pincher bugs, ants, fire flies, dragonflies, etc. There's this huge dragonfly in my backyard I saw 'long time ago and it was so weird.. it was orange.. they usually come around the spring time or summer time. There's smaller blue ones in my backyard, and I can catch them, and I let them go :P

Yeah you're all the more surer I hope

all i have to say is your times nearly up, so its to late granny pannies, SORRY HAD TO

My dad got a Tattoo (his first one) at 65 , it looks shit but he still got it, it's a goblin climbing over his knee. So random. He says it reminds him of how lucky he is not to be a goblin.

Yeah tatoos are awesome they look good on every person since 1 year old(yes i looks on babies) until 100 years old or more..it allways look good

go for it... i love my tattoos.. u will to!!!

Go for it I'm 55 and want a dragon on my shoulder my daughter was born in the year of the dragon

Though I have none myself, it sounds cool to me. Just, please, whatever you do, avoid the tramp stamp like the plague.

only a toolbox listens to what other people influence them to do.

i want a new tattoo! so when i get me some monies i will have me a tattoo anew :)

Definately go for it. u only live once and who gives a shit what anyone else thinks

I agree am5310 and u can't always make people happy but u can make yourself happy! Have fun with your tatt when u get it!!

Once your at an where you think you dont have much to live you start going crazy and start doing at the things you wish you wanted or wanted to do...by the way tattoos are pointless.

I have not gotten the tat yet but I think I will, when you stop having fun you grow old and die.

Did u get a tatt? It's been awhile since u posted and am just curious? Hope u did!! They r hot!

Lower back tattoo

I got with a 47 year old who had one, see was still hott to!!!

I'm 25 by the way

Guess what? When you get old, its gunna sag, thats gunna look stunning.... I wouldnt do it but its your choice (Y)!

Do it. Glad your doing this now. You should know exactly what you want now.

am5310 don't listen to any of the nasty comments!! If u want a tattoo go for it!!! It doesn't matter how old u are!! But be warned, they can be addictive!! Once u get one u will want more but if u want to do it then do it, to hell with what anyone else thinks! It's your body! Enjoy your tattoo!! :)

Lighten up, kiddies! I know you're too young to understand it yet, but if some day you're as brave as am5310, and willing to keep on following your heart regardless of your age, then you'll be LUCKY.

As for you older folks who jumped on the mockery bandwagon, sucks for you. You should know by now that encouragement is a 2-way street, and so is tearing down.

I watched an episode of la ink awhile ago and a lady about your age got one I thought she was pretty awesome!!!! You only live once better late then never :)

Go for it! :)

If you want one then get one. Just get it somewhere discreet so it can be easily covered if you decide down the track that u don't want everyone to see it.
I have four, all discreet and I love them.

Yea but when ur skin gets evenore wrinkles then it just looks gross weird and stupid

Do it if it's meaningful to u. Ff what anyone else thinks

If you are smoking hot.. sure. If your best years are literally around your midsection, save your money, no one will be impressed but you.. but thats ok, to each their own. To me its like older conservative bald guys that decide now is the time to grow that ponytail they always dreamed of. Normally preceded by a motorcyle purchase. Yeah.....

I am not a tramp or getting one to attact younger men. I just think some are cool

trying to get a tramp stamp so younger men to notice you? It would work

Way too old if you havent done it by now dont waste your time and money at your age I seriously think it would look a bit silly

Tattoos are awesome get as many as you want if you need any ideas let me know

Lol I'm sorry, I think it's cool you want a tattoo and all, good for you, but what is a sensible tatoo?

My mom who is 50 got one but don't make the mistake of getting a fairy above your ass that's colored in to look like jell pen ink while at a blue men concert
