Eve Colding is not your ordinary 86-year-old, she sports a tattoo, and she has just gotten inked.

The Accrington, Lancashire woman has supported her granddaughter's dream of having a tattoo parlor, and she has insisted to be a client.

“We were not sure if she was just saying it or if she really wanted it. I waited until she was definitely sure,” 26-year-old Beki Sanderson describes.

Eve was sure, as she recalled having a tattoo not being socially acceptable during her youth. Grandma's tattoo is a red English rose which was inked on her upper arm, Mirror writes.

She is a painter and she has also taught painting to her granddaughter. To Beki, her grandma is an inspiration in her life and the main reason why she has developed an artistic interest.
