Is your grandmother even your grandmother if she didn't warn you about getting a tattoo? The older generation often looks down on permanent body ink for religious or social reasons.
However, a 90-year-old woman from Barcelona, Spain, decided to throw caution to the wind and get a tattoo for the first time.
The grandmother seemed nervous but excited about getting inked. Her granddaughter shared a video of visiting a local tattoo parlour on TikTok.
She wrote in Spanish, "At 90, you have to start doing new things! Her first tattoo."
The woman's grandmother browses through a catalogue before hand-drawing a simple heart tattoo design. She said a little prayer before heading to the tattoo artist's chair.
The tattoo, which she got on her inner wrist, turned out perfectly, and social media users couldn't be prouder of the ouma for being the poster child of YOLO at 90.
Many were also shocked by her age, saying she looked much younger. "90????? Wow," one TikTok user wrote.
She might not be a teen anymore but she is still young at heart!
Some social media users suggested that her granddaughter should get a matching tattoo as well.
"If you have the option, also tattoo that heart that she has drawn... It will be your best tattoo without a doubt," the user wrote.
