The Idea: 65 years ago, tattoos were illegal in some places, but so were same-sex marriages, marijuana, and even Sunday football. Seniors know better than most just how much can change in 60 years. But with the change comes growth and new ways to express yourself. Tattoos should change as you do because who you were at 17 is not who you are at 77. What you believed then may not be what you believe now, and that’s ok. Embrace the temporary.

Social media would be used to share the stories of seniors who want to express how their beliefs have changed over the years. #EmbracetheTemporary
