A ninety-four-year-old great-grandmother just got her first tattoo.
She is believed to be the oldest U.K. women to get inked.
Hilda West might be in her mid-nineties but that has not stopped her from turning her lifelong dream of getting inked into reality.
The great-grandma did not get just any tattoo, but chose the initials of her beloved son, David, and husband, Ernest, to honor them. She asker her caretakers at Castle Brook Care Home to get a tattoo artist arranged for her.
Then she went to a local parlor, Skinz, in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, on 13th September.
She revealed that he always wanted to have a tattoo and thought it would be a nice idea to have her husband’s initials next to their son’s.
It was Ernest’s birthday in this month which prompted her to do something special to mark the event.
She announced that they were married for seventy years and she loved him very much.
Hilda’s tattoo was made by artist Matty Gardner, who did not charge her anything. Hilda is very happy with the new tattoo and the possibility that she is the oldest British person to get a tattoo.
Hilda said that the process of getting the tattoo went on very smoothly and she did not feel any pain. She added that Matty was very good, and she is glad to have it done. The tattoo reminds her of her son and husband whenever she looks at it.
She further told that this is just the beginning and she will get a peacock or butterfly done next.
Talking about his experience, Matty revealed that he has tattooed old people, but not as old as her, and that she handled it way better than some of the bodybuilders he had tattooed. He mentioned that the process took a total of twenty minutes.
