A young British woman is clapping back at the “older generation” who insist that when she’s 60, she’ll regret covering her body with tattoos.
Though she admits she’ll never “be the girl [men] take home to their parents,” Taylor Paige Courtenay says she loves her inked skin and warns users to keep their “opinions to themselves.”

Taylor Paige Courtenay, from South Devon, England, is challenging societal beauty norms and speaking out about the judgment she faces, particularly from the “older generation,” for her extensive tattoos.
The 27-year-old woman, who has body art covering her neck, arms, stomach, and legs, often describes her skin as a tapestry of memories and expressions, illustrating her belief in owning her story.
She added, “Bold of you to assume you even look good at 60…I wish they’d keep their opinions to themselves.”
Dismissing her requests to keep quiet with harsh opinions, online users jumped into the comments section and offered their thoughts.
“We will keep our opinions to ourselves if you keep you tattoos to yourself,” one user writes to the Daily Mail, referring to her barely-there attire. Adding to that, a second user writes, “If you don’t want other people’s opinions, keep your clothes on.”
