Older Inked-Up Ladies

WRITER Jason Hellinger

If you caught The Today Show this morning, you may have seen a story that is not all that surprising. According to the National Tattoo Association, there's been an increase in the number of women of advanced age coming in to tattooed. This particular story focused on 78-year old Helen Lambin, who got her first tattoo just three years ago as a tribute to her late husband. Since then, she's gotten over 50 tattoos and she's already thinking about her next.

It looks like we've found a definite loophole to the "you'll regret it later" mentality. It is later, and they have no regrets.
