How cool is this granny?lol A plucky granny showed her true colours when she bolted from her senior center to get a tattoo and complained that getting it wasn't painful enough.
Great-grandmother Sadie Sellers, 79, went AWOL from her home to get inked for the first time along with granddaughter Samantha, 22, in Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
Her son, Tony, was stunned when he showed up to visit her and found her empty wheelchair in the room.
But all the retired civil servant wanted was a tat and didn't care what her family would think of it.
“I don’t f—ing care!” the saucy senior said.
She also won the hearts of the vastly younger clients of Studio Seventy-Six when she decided to get a tattoo of a heart on her arm.
But she wasn't happy that the procedure wasn't painful.
“I never felt a thing. He just laughed at me,” she said about the artist, artist Ciaran Ward.

“When you get to my age, you just have to live life to the full every day,” she said. “I was talking about it with Samantha for a couple of weeks and she showed me hers. She came in one day after her holiday and I just thought, ‘Well I’ll get one too.’”
But it was no laughing matter for her son, who went searching for his missing mum.
“She’s been in the care home for about a year now and she’s only been out twice before, both times with my daughter,” said Tony, 57.
He was stunned by what he saw when he finally found his mother.
“I went in all I saw was three big lads in their 20s covered in tattoos, and there in the middle was mum getting one herself,” he said. “They all thought she was fantastic. She was laughing and giggling the whole time.”
Love that woman. She's my kinda girl.

ReplyDeleteWhy should I love a grandmother who went to get tattoo. When she is supposed to be closer to her creator. Teaching younger generation on how to live a good life. She has failed.
