Jackie, 71, receives first-ever tattoo while staying at St Michael's
“I always wanted one. I’m 71 now but I thought ‘why not?'”
When Jackie, who is staying with us at the moment, said she wanted her first-ever tattoo, Meg from Body Mods UK in Hereford stepped in. Meg created three beautiful hearts on Jacqueline’s arm, with each heart containing an initial of her son, William.
“I always wanted a tattoo. I’m 71 now but I thought ‘why not?’” said Jackie.
Meg carried out the work free of charge. A huge thank you to Meg and Body Mods!
And Jackie, we hope you love your new artwork!
