Tattoos aren't just for younger generations — many grandparents have tattoos with fascinating stories behind them. From military tattoos and old-school sailor ink to the names of loved ones, cultural symbols, or tattoos done on a dare decades ago, every piece usually comes with a story. Some grandparents proudly show them off, while others spent years trying to hide them from the family.
