I’m a sexy grandma with piercings and a neck tattoo – comments can be hurtful but I love my look, I won’t stop
ONE hot grandma has received nasty comments for her tattoos and piercings over the years, but she says she’ll never stop her signature look.
Indiana resident, Rachel, has 128 tattoos and 28 piercings.
According to the mother and grandmother, expressing herself and who she wants to be is important, despite the negative comments she gets on her appearance, per Truly.
“I am a devoted mother and grandmother that loves to get tattoos and piercings,” Rachel told the publication in a video interview.
“I get judged a lot — it is a hard thing to deal with.”
In the clip, Rachel could be seen with several tattoo designs that spread throughout her upper torso, neck, and face, along with several piercings located around her nose, mouth, and eyes.
Rachel noted that she was diagnosed with Lupus a while back, which made her recognize that life was short.
Lupus disease causes a body’s “immune system to attack its own tissues and organs,” per Mayo Clinic.
Around that same time, Rachel had her two daughters, and a few years later also had a granddaughter, Kween, from her oldest, Kamaree.
Being 41 and having two daughters and a granddaughter, Rachel said that she gets some judgment, but not nearly as much as she does for the tattoos and piercings.
“It’s a hard thing to deal with, you have to have tough skin,” the grandmother told Truly.
Rachel read some examples of the backlash she gets on social media from haters when they see her appearance.
“You look scary,” one person wrote.
“You’re a waste of space,” another nasty commenter said.
A third rude user added: “You think you look nice? Oh my goodness!”
Rachel professed that the haters only made assumptions based on her chosen methods of expressing herself.
“They’re mean, they’re rude, they don’t know me,” the grandma noted.
“I’m a very nice, very good person and there’s people out there that just want to tear me down and want to talk bad and treat me bad for no reason.”
The 41-year-old claimed that when she goes out to stores, some people even assume that she’s stealing items and continue to treat her disrespectfully.
However, Rachel’s daughter, Kamaree, noted that she “loves” the way her mother looks, as it’s part of who she is.
The grandmother also noted that her granddaughter looks at her with no judgment and reservations in her eyes, and that’s what matters.
Either way, nothing will stop the grandmother from getting tattoos or piercings because of the feeling it gives her.
“I feel like getting the tattoos and stuff, I get a warmth, an inside feeling,” Rachel explained.
“I am a hot grandma that loves to get her piercings and tattoos and is not going to stop.”
