Does Age Matter?

People express themselves in a variety of ways . Could be their manner of dress, hairstyle , speech, body piercing, tattoos etc.
Looking at the picture posted we can see that not only the younger generation feel the need to ' express' themselves - senior citizens are doing it too.
So what do you think ? Does age matter? Would you be interested in a full body tattoo? Do you wear a tattoo - even a small one?

I don't have any tattoos. I guess as long as the person likes it, it is what matters.

@snowy22315, exactly what matters is one's happiness and affordability for it's also costly.

Age is mind over matter: if you don’t mind, it don’t matter.
As for tattoos, I don’t want one. I didn’t get one in the Navy, and being in the Navy was the best excuse I’d ever have for getting one!
The colors are beautiful in that picture, I’ll say that.

@Kandae11 — that’s a great reason to avoid it. It’s also reportedly very painful (especially in the more sensitive areas of the body). My back inflicts enough pain on me naturally, thank you. ![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

That's cool. Yes, age doesn't matter. It's a matter of choice for the body who owns. That's their decision and we should respect that.

@Kandae11 In the first place. That's not our body. It's her.

Age should not be a concern. A person should express himself/herself freely regardless of age. I remember when I was a kid, older people were not supposed to wear clothes in bright colors. They were for younger people. Nowadays, even people over 90 wear clothes in red, pink, yellow, green, whatever colors they like. As for the tattoo, I wouldn't want it. But then again, I think it's a matter of personal choice.

What matters is how that person feels about herself. She's definitely happy to have such body art and nobody has the right to judge her it doesn't look great on her because of her age.
I have three tattoos. Never thought of getting a full body tattoo. It's just not my thing.

@Kandae11 Not just many hours actually. It's several days. An arm sleeves take a day or two. But not consecutively actually. The first season could take hours and then there's a rest period for the healing which is a week or two before the second session. Other's take years to complete the whole body tattoo.

@toniganzon Yes indeed it would be impossible to complete that massive amount of tattooing in one session.
What l meant is that sitting or lying for a two or three our session of pricking and painting can't be easy. And there would be many such sessions until it is complete.

I guess age matters when our bodies actually start failing.

@Kandae11 Yes I think her tattoos are ugly too much entirely

@RebeccasFarm l think she had a lot of patience and high pain threshold to sit through that.

I've never been interested in getting tattoos but I do have several body piercings.
I think whatever people feel the need/desire to do with their own body, is their choice. *shrug*

@Kandae11 I know several guys who did that, too. That kind of thing was just dumb... but it was their choice. You can't force people to have good sense.

I say "to each his/her own". I personally wouldn't want a full body tattoo but they've become so popular now that everyone seems to have them.

No tattoos for me, I'm simply not interested. I am allergic to every type of dyes I can think of, it would be my luck to be allergic to the ink if that's even possible. One of my sons has a tattoo--I asked him to wait until he was 21, he waited until the week before he turned 21, and got one in Florida on a spring break trip. He hates that tattoo. My oldest girl has some tattoos, she loves them, and somehow they suit her. I am not against tattoos, Although I truly do hate the facial ones. I just don't want any.

Yes, they are forever unless you pay someone to remove them.

@Kandae11 It seems the tattoos describes an old Japanese traditional story. We share similar cultures![](/Content/images/emotes/cheering.gif)

No. I don't. Needles and I aren't friends, plus sitting still on command isn't something I can do. So, I don't try.
