According to a 2012 Harris poll, 11 percent of those 50 to 64 years old and 5 percent of those 65 and older have tattoos.
And they tend to get a whole lot of attention. A recent pictorial of inked-up older citizens on Imgur attracted more than 1.4 million views.

But you'll have to judge for yourself.
