This Is What Your Tattoos Will Look Like When You're 70

If you've got a tattoo any bigger than a penny, we're sure you've heard it before, "But what about when you get older??" Well, there are a bunch of tattooed elders out there who've inspired us to respond with, "What about it?" 

Take this guy, for instance. Stripped all the way down to his skivvies, we'd say he's looking great! While his tats may be a bit faded, they certainly aren't the outstretched nightmares that everyone warned us about when we first went under the needle.

And this rad woman! Intricate, full-coverage tattoos all the way up to her neck with an ear-to-ear smile to match! Does it look this woman has any regrets? We think not.

This man took it up a notch and got himself a glamour shot, and we're loving his ultra-vibrant shirt of tattoos. He's also the poster pops for "You're never too old to have nipple piercings." Rock on, glam-pa.

We love these striking, patterned sleeves that have clearly stood the test of time...

...and these literal head-to-toe tats that this babe is proud to show off.

So, the next time someone hits you with, "But how will you feel about these in 50 years??!?!?" you can hit 'em with these pics. Whether dressed up or down, we think these tattooed elders look radiant in their aged ink.
