    If you are in full posession of your wit then I really think there's no such thing as "too old".

    After you are dead, other than that, never too old.

    Never too old. Some people start at 18 and continue until 60+, it's only limited by the person :)

    This! Because after you're dead might be yucky for the tat artist. :-P

    Wrong, when I had one done for charity a couple years ago there was an 85 year old woman getting her first one and when asked WHY? she said "The money goes to a good cause and if I really hate it who cares I am gonna die in 10 years anyways"

    my only restriction would be if the tattooist has to hold your skin taught to combat wrinkles

    I got my first tattoo at 18 and i'm hooked. In fact, i'm booked in for a 3 hour session at the end of the month. However, my 60+ year old father is talking about getting one. I don't think you can be too old. In fact, as you get wiser with age, i'd imagine the choices you make would be more suitable and meaningful having lived alot more than somebody my age.

    Love that!

    I agree, never too old! When I was in a couple weeks ago, there was a little old man, looked about 80, no visible ink in the waiting room. I wondered who he was with. Then I saw, who I assumed to be his wife, getting some ink done. I thought it was so cute :D
