Sir, – I enjoyed Emer McLysaght’s article on the history of her tattoos (“I already had seven tattoos but I knew this one would be different”, Features, March 24th).
I am a latecomer to tattoos but in the last three years I have had eight.
I am a grandmother of eight and, as far as I know, they like them almost as much as I do! I have three tiny hearts for my daughters.
I also have three tiny ducks because I collect them and two tiny stick people, a boy for my grandsons and a girl for my granddaughters.
