Vintage ladies and tattoos

[Roxy Tart {PL Team / Comm. Mgr}]

I was thinking about when this generation gets old, and we're covered in tattoos, and how different we'll look from generations past. It left me wondering how many girls back in the 40's and 50's got tattoos. I found this picture and thought it was awesome.

I bet her grand kids thought she was pretty cool.

OMG...I would have punched that j****** in the face!! What an ASS! HIS LOSS...Tattooed girls are HOT!
My husband LOVES tattooed women but as soon as I go to get another one, he gets all territorial! He doesnt want ME to cover my beautiful skin....WHATEVER! I tell him it aint a one way street. If he can be tatt'd all over then SO CAN I!

i get the comments about being old with tattoos all the time!! Your chest is going to be all wrinkly.. your arms will be saggy.. your blah blah blah...
I tell them I am going to be the coolest tattooed grandma EVER!!! And they all look at me like Im crazy.. but its true! i will be covered by then!!
AND one of my friends was at a bar, and some guy was checking her (fully tattooed her) out from across the bar.. he started walking over.. shes thinking. oh great hes gonna hit on me,,
NOPE
he says.. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I THINK WOMEN WITH TATTOOS ARE DISGUSTING
and walked away..
she was obviously speechless.. haha

Did you know ** here goes my brain again.. that tattoo artists in the 1800's often tattooed their DAUGHTERS and WIVES as their portfolios?? The first tattooed lady.. well one of them.. Nora Hildebrandt.. she was around 30 something.. in 1882 when she started exhibiting her already HEAD TO TOE body in tattoos.. she was a sideshow and claimed she was captured (her and her father) by indians, and they FORCED him to give her one tattoo for every day in the year they were captive.. she had .. you guessed it.. 365 tattoos on her body!!

Labelle Irene (irene woodward) was close to follow.. she was also a sideshow..
but their tattoos are SO cool..

Hey, I think dillholes who would walk up to a lady and insult her are disgusting. Works both ways, Buddy.

I don't plan on living that long... haha!
Honestly who the f*** knows what's gonna happen? Life is shorter then most people realize..I HATE it how most people assume that they and EVERYONE they know is gonna live to 100 years old..who are you? God? How would you know for sure?
And so what if by some miracle I live to be that age and I have tattoos? I'll probably be senile so I'll need my ink to remind me of who I am and where I am..lol.

I love this...seriously.

It seems that only the non-modified part of society asks the stupid question of what will happen to our mods 'when you get older'. It always amused me when people would stop me and tell me the grand story of how they used to have dyed hair and piercings or whatever. The difference between them and me, is that I will always be modified b/c it's a part of my life, not just the newest trend I feel I need to be a part of.

I'm counting on seeing heavily modified old people. We will be the coolest elderly generation ever. *lmao*
Seriously I want my tattoos to be a kinda map of my life and to have a code that only I can understand. So yeah, screw what the squares think! : )

So...do you mean to add your own comment to this or what? Just wondering...

Indeed I did but somehow messed up the code. My apologies.

I always wanted to be one of those tat'd up grannies...with cotton candy hair riding a motorcycle on the weekend. LOL and have such wrinkly skin I'd have to pull my arm just to show my grandbabies the lady tattooed there. XD
