I occassionally see them on seniors here in the Baltimore-Washington DC area. Here's a picture of a granma that started off with one to cheer herself up, and she just kept liking the results. They look like the temporary kind to me though. I see a lot of younger ladies and seniors with these types.
If we drive into the small towns in the hinterlands of Kentucky we see lots of tattoos on young people (who will be old at some point I hope)....so lots of wrinkled tatts to be seen in the future.

When I go to our local WM store here I always see some on older folks... just like this
This thread is overwhelmingly negative toward tattoos. It is also over 10 years old. I wonder if attitudes have changed?
Personally, I am 64 and plan to get my first tattoo in the fall. My wife and two daughters decided we would all get a tattoo that represents our family.
My body is a temple. A chubby one with wrinkles and some scars but no tattoos.
I used to work with prison inmates and have no interest in permanent body graffiti.
I like a few tattoos, but then, they are more common where I now live (SW Colorado) than they were in the Northeast, New England. I do dislike the sight of whole sleeves- it looks like someone was beaten with a bat- but people get tattoos for themselves, not for me.
I think that tattoos are more commonplace now and they don't have the stigma that they once held.
But I have also seen more and more videos of mostly young/youngish people regretting that they got their tattoos. It's usually because they went a bit overboard and got a tattoo on their face, chest or one of those arm sleeve type tattoos. What may have felt good at 21, no longer feels like such a wise decision at 31.
As far as seniors go, I would think that younger retirees would be more likely to take the plunge and get a tattoo. They no longer have to worry about what an employer might think, they are on their own time and their own dime and if they want a tattoo why the heck not get one.
I haven't seen any elderly people in their 80's, 90's and beyond getting fresh tattoos.
