Garston, UK – Golden girls Betty Gamble and Margaret Gilham decided to follow their hearts, becoming two of the oldest people to ever get tattooed in Liverpool. The story behind their decision is nothing short of heartwarming.

There is certainly no age limit to getting tattooed, and when your heart's calling out for one, you have to follow it - no matter how many years you've lived.

Is there any better way to mark your friendship, and honor a loved one, than to get matching ink? Well, that's just what Betty Gamble (89) did when she became one of the oldest people to ever get a tattoo in Liverpool.

These golden girls' tattoos seem to have been a great idea, honoring their close bond and years-long friendship with an permanent mark of affection.

After being inspired by a tattoo of angel wings that her best friend Margaret Gilham (78) had inked onto her wrist, Gamble put her friend in charge of booking an appointment with an artist at Fool's Gold Tattoo in Liverpool, UK.

Rather than coming up with a design of her own, Echo reports that Gamble opted to have an exact replica of Gilham's tattoo, just with one small addition: the letter "K."

This modification was added to the tattoo in honor of Gamble's daughter Karen, who passed away in 2001 from brain cancer.

The 89-year-old's granddaughter Jenny Watts (27) described Gamble as an outgoing and caring person, and said that she wasn't at all surprised by her grandmother's decision to get tatted.

"It wasn't a shock, it was just a nice endearing thing. That's the kind of thing Betty would do, just having fun," she told Echo.

Gilham, Gamble's prime inspiration, got her tattoo done in November as lockdowns started to ease up.

The 78-year-old said that she wanted to celebrate surviving the Covid-19 pandemic by doing something that she had always wanted to do: get tattooed.

While the original tattoo wasn't done to commemorate Gamble and Gilham's friendship, they now have a permanent body-art based bond with one another.
