That's nothing called "too old" do do anything really. As long as you CAN do it, do it!!! Haha! :) But I know, tattoos are expensive. I have a few myself, but have to save up for my next one! Preserved skin with tattoos has been found that's over 10,000 years old, so it's an ancient method to create art on skin. I guess most of the women in this post worked as show girls, at circuses, or maybe even freak shows. Glad it's become a lot more accepted to walk around with tattoos since those days... Good luck with your own tattoos honey! :) xoxMyrtha Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216143613320475118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134183566761518158.post-43304819150403969142015-10-05T15:04:44.765+02:002015-10-05T15:04:44.765+02:00How very interesting!

She told me that her goal was to get every square inch of her skin tattooed, & when I met her she had a very good start on it. She was the first woman I'd ever seen who had tattoos & she was my inspiration. Unfortunately, I'm only up to 3, including one that covers about 1/4 of my back. I have plans for several more, but the $$ can be prohibitive. By the way, I'll be 70 this coming March.Norsequeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882851829719739941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134183566761518158.post-60202588197054585492013-05-01T16:07:19.278+02:002013-05-01T16:07:19.278+02:00Cool!

I think they should mean something when you get them, means a lot more and you won't end up wanting it removed later as that is meant to hurt more than the tattoo did. Have watched them getting ones removed and I felt a little horrified after, ha! The last picture is cheeky, I love it ;) xxxThe Dainty Dolls Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165942777053327479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134183566761518158.post-73859247352338428392013-01-16T11:21:25.821+01:002013-01-16T11:21:25.821+01:00I love the third photo here where she's absolu...I love the third photo here where she's absolutely covered in tattoos. I had no idea that the concept of tattoos had been around for so long and that women used to rock it all the time, I mean sure tattoos are common on women now but to see them back years before they became so popular is awesome, thanks for sharing this Miss Meadows, great photos.Outcasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400755239612162157noreply@blogger.com
