  Ok, as you know, I am a wife, mother of 6 and almost 40 years old. I have had this urge to get a tattoo for about 3 years now. IS 40 TOO OLD?????

  40 too old? ABSOLUTELY NOT! You go for it, Shelly! I have a large one on my back and I love it. Thought about it for damn near 10 years before deciding on the exact one and I love it! I have three years into deciding on my second one! LOL.....

  What puts me off having one at 32 is the thought of me getting old with a shrivelled green tattoo, mmmmm nice!!

  When my friend was 16 she got a tattoo (Winnie the Pooh - cute as anything!) and needed her mum to come and give consent because she wasn't 18 and her mum (who does look after her, honest!) decided to get one too and she's got 3 now and she was about 44 or something then.

  What are you going to get?

  I am a bit put off by your question. One of the reasons that I never got a tattoo is that if I got it at age twenty then I would eventually be a 40 year old man with a tattoo- and 50- and 60 and 70.....

  As Malcolm Forbes said once, "It's only too late when you are dead."

  Just get it done at a safe, clean place that autoclaves their instruments.
