    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.

    Mmmmmmm......85?

    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"

    LOVE this!

    Im 42 and just really started wanting one this past year - and will get one!

    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

    I turned 40 in 2012 and decided I wanted to get my first one. I have 2 that I definitely want to get, but one of them won't happen for a few years.

    I've got three, and i got the last one when I was 55. the other ones were always hidden when I wore business attire, because of the position I had. when I retired from that job, and went into business for myself, I added a visible tat that i had wanted for years. Once I achieve my goal, I will probably treat myself to another one. I will probably be 60 when that happens!

    So funny that I was contemplating this just the other day! My 32nd birthday is tomorrow and I am thinking about getting a tattoo...if I can finally decide what I want by then. Good to know that if the decision takes another 10 years, I still won't be "too old"! lol

    The day after you die is too old... There is a too young though... I feel like anything under 18 is too young... Tattoos are for life and while you can cover somethings up with newer tattoos or get them lasored off it's better to get something you will love forever and not want to cover up, change, or remove. I got my first Tattoo, an elephant on my ankle 3 years ago, I just got my bumble bee on my other ankle less than a year ago. They are addicting, fun, and (if you have a professional do them) beautiful.
