<< < (3/6) > >>

Blitzed:
Why is sixty so unusual? I didn't start on my tats and holes until I was 65. Next up are the nipples-barbells, no hoops. If you like it then own it. Advice you've doubtless heard before. However this comes from a man ten years your senior who is pleased with what he did and laughs at people who say, "Aren't you a little old for that sort of thing?" What about all the guys forty, fifty years younger than we are? "Are they too old-or too young-for that sort of thing?". Here's another way to look at it. Literally. If I have and open casket, I want to be naked from the waist up. My ink will still look fresh, vital. The young, too young in many cases, will end up with globs of no particular colour most of which they'll regret. There comes a point where "touching up" can't touch it up. Also, the young have a tendency to go to piercers or inkslingers who are "in", "cool", at the moment. You and I took time, thought about it, have no regrets and, as the saying goes, can " easily own it" as we took time to understand what it was, why we wanted it, knew the procedure and didn't just appear in the family kitchen saying, "Look, Mom, I got pierced, tattooed etc". One imagines "Mom" isn't too happy with this turn of events and probably tells her child so. After she finishes crying. (Oh, her one liner is, "what wiil the neighbors think" to which the answer is...."less than she does.)

mrzed:
I've always said, "If you wait until 72 to get your first tattoo, it should look good the rest of your life."

Crowbar:
Perhaps 60 is the new 40?, I don't know but I have decided now that I am older, that I feel free now to have fun getting tattooed and pierced, or what ever.
You only live once and perhaps that is something people really begin to understand once they get past 40, 50 or 60 :)

Semi-Sly:
Yep.  We have a saying  in another group of friends to which I have belonged for many years now.  We tell newcomers; "This is your life - this is not a dress rehearsal!"

 There came a point at which I had to make a decision; did I want to live or die?

If you decide to live; then LIVE; don't just mark time!
