I often hear people share their worries over what their skin might look like one day when they’re older, if they were to embark on the path of getting tattoos. A lot of this stems mostly from conditioned societal beliefs and judgments about it and what is deemed “acceptable” and “appropriate”.

I happen to be adorned with my own “Spiritual Skin“, as I call it, and feel that like scars (which I visibly have at my left brow bone), that these are marks of my personal soul story in this life and beyond, that express a richness of depth that emanates without the spoken word.

Although I grew up in a strict household and with grandparents that were very religious, I just knew this was my personal expression and never thought about how I’d be seen in my aging years with it, as who I am is what I believe will speak for itself.

Whom ever so chooses to see something else has every right to do so. It will not change who I am.

And I can no longer imagine who that is without the tattoos that are a part of the temple body that I cherish.

I also happen to have tattoo design clients in their 50’s and 60’s that are getting their first tattoos, if not adding more to their already beautiful tattoos and they all look amazing!!! There’s something about a confident and empowered soul that knows who they are.

At the link below you’ll find more, of what I consider to be, uniquely beautiful images of 70 year-young souls proudly wearing their life stories on their skin.
