    My dad got his tattoos during his time in the army. He has a knife too with his blood type and id incase something happened to him and the medics needed to give him a transfusion. The rest are naked women and tigers 😂

    If I could add a tip about your interviewing questions... (dont kill me people)
    You ask questions that are more specified as to lean him into responding in a yes or no. If you simplified it into an open ended question I feel like it would open up the conversation more. For example just How do you feel about me as a young woman getting tattooed? Instead of Does it feel weird to you that I get tattooed?
    I really enjoyed this interview and I would love to see a series like this :)

    • @emmaliminal7785

      Princess Cootney totally agree. I noticed that with her last interview as well.

      Yep! Noticed that too.

    • @sarahconnor4984
      @sarahconnor4984 7 років тому +40

      I see what you mean, in my opinion her pops was shy in front of the camera and was already doing his best, I think she adapted the questions to make him feel more comfortable (at least that's how I think the interview evolved). Her being family makes that last question quite compromising, he doesn't want to hurt her feelings being "too honest" even less in front of the whole internet, I felt how she was protecting him (keeping it profesional and without being patronizing at all) and I loved it

    • @TemeryN
      @TemeryN 7 років тому +6

      thank you so much Goose for doing that math, I was totally thinking $5 in 1954 was a lot more than $5 is now and prob pretty comp to today's price for that size tat =)

    • @OrangevayaMysh
      @OrangevayaMysh 7 років тому

      I am learning to tattoo and look into home tattoo scene in my area(ukraine, russia) and you can get tattooed for crazy cheap, like less than 5 bucks or some cigarettes. Just because people who do it are either learning or do it just for fun or experience. Though prices are much lower here anyway

    • @dressagegirlkae
      @dressagegirlkae 7 років тому +1

      L Crook, that's really interesting! I've been tattooed for 30 dollars in America by a tattoo apprentice, but it was a very small tattoo. When I was in Russia and thinking about getting tattooed though, it was quite expensive and hard to find a good artist.

    I have recently lost my grandpa and seeing this left such a great wonderful impact on me. Thanks you for doing this. I am a tattoo collector and always watch your videos but this video had me happy crying all the way through it. I just want to give him a great giant hug. This helped my rainy day. He is adorable!

  • @BubblegumMurder
    @BubblegumMurder 7 років тому +2

    This was such a cool experience to have. To be able to talk to people who got tattoo's for a different purpose than in the contemporary tattoo world is so cool.
    The history of tattoos is so rich throughout all cultures.

  • @mimzywhimzy
    @mimzywhimzy 7 років тому +2

    Amanda, I don't know if you realize how important this documentary is. If you are into the idea, I really encourage you to pursue this further - maybe start small by interviewing your Grandfather's tattooed friends. This is all kinds of amazing on so many levels. We all need to see these for so many reasons.

    My 84 year old grandpa has one tattoo and it's of his name, Reed. I think it's so interesting your grandpa has his name tattoo'd as well. I didn't know other elders had their name tattoo'd so it's really cool to learn that!

  • @poodster96
    @poodster96 7 років тому +4

    @brujita222 7 років тому +4

    Thank you so much for sharing this with us Qcknd. My father is an older veteran who was in the air force himself. He got a U.S.A.F skull tattoo when he was about 17. He hates it, but I think it's special and it was and still is a huge part of his life. It's always meant something special to me because I've been into collecting tattoos for a while now. This was an awesome video, and brought me to tears. Your grandpop seems like an amazing person.

  • @itscarolinemary
    @itscarolinemary 7 років тому +1

    he's so cute! his answers were so simple. you're a good interviewer trying to get more out of him and to get the overall picture/experience he had. It would be really cool to hear a tattooed woman's experience from that generation.

  • @stephaniecatarina8129
    @stephaniecatarina8129 7 років тому +4

    Oohh I loved this so much💕 TBH I'm kinda crying. Lol. My grandpa had sleeves. One arm had good things on it like angels and saints the other had all bad things evil spirits and death. He got both arms done after his 2 sons died in the 90's. He didn't like to talk about them much so I never got a chance to ask him these questions. Thank you for sharing your grandpa with us. This is so special. he's such a lovely man. ✨

    @veebutler9745 7 років тому +1

    granddad Is a total boss. this video was honestly so great. it made me start thinking about people in my family with tattoos and I realized that as of right now my sister is the only one with any (and they're really tiny so..) but then I also realized that even through all of that, I have always wanted tattoos and it just gets me thinking about how family with tattoos effect younger generations

  • @willownorth112
    @willownorth112 7 років тому +4

    This was such a cool change of pace from the normal style of TTT! It was really neat to have the perspective from someone that got their tattoos within a very different time period and a different culture, not to mention done with different materials. I liked that you asked him what he thought of your tattoos, I've always wondered what older tattooed people think when they see my tattoos!

    As someone who loves to learn about their grandparents' history and collecting old things that were theirs or things from around the time they were children/young adults, I love the sentiment of this video. Just the fact that you're so interested in his past and relating it to you and what you love and having the capability to learn more is just a great experience.

    Love, love, loved this video! 👴🏻🤘🏻
    It's nice to see a positive video about tattooed older people (i.e. no regrets). Your grandfather's comment about throat tattoos made me chuckle. It's funny what random things/ideas grandparents worry about. He was so sweet to make this video with you. I love his honesty about why he got tattooed.

  • @dressagegirlkae
    @dressagegirlkae 7 років тому +1

    Oh my god! I love this video so much. I was the first person in my immediate family to get tattooed, so I never had anyone to share these stories with. I talked to my Granddad a bit about my tattoo's, but he never had any. As a woman, my family members did not like that I got tattoo's because they said it would mark me as "not marriage material". I enjoyed how much your Grandfather's experience was just like a young persons experience today. I got my first tattoo just because I wanted one.

  • @emilyredd4454
    @emilyredd4454 7 років тому

    Your grandfather sounds like a very humble man. I absolutely loved the content you created for this TTT QCKND. It just proves to people that tattoos are not just a 'trend' or a 'cool thing' to get when you are in your 20's. Thank you for this amazing work!

  • @kathy3416
    @kathy3416 7 років тому +1

  • @MerelnessFantasy

  • @sarahspottedhorse1794
    @sarahspottedhorse1794 7 років тому

    I think this is incredible, and I started crying early on. Just strictly because you get to document this part of your grandpa's life. And I know you'll cherish this later in life. I love it.

  • @alexandrayarrow9236
    @alexandrayarrow9236 7 років тому

    I love this beyond words! I'm so glad you got the chance to do this with him. He seems like such a special man. My family was pretty judgmental when I first got tattooed and the one person who appreciated them most was my grandpa. He was also in the service and had some. Wish I had gotten the chance to talk with him about. I'm rambling but this really made me happy and is one of the best videos I've ever seen on UA-cam

    @CorkyLG5889 7 років тому

    This has got to be one of my favorite videos of yours so far! Your Grandpa reminds me of mine who I lost a few yrs ago. I wish I had this conversation with him because I know he had at least 2, but there could have been more! He had a series of numbers that was small, I think some sort of ID number but he never explained it to me (I asked when I was an early teen) and then he had a bee that was like in a fighting stance with his fists up wearing a sailor cap on his forearm because he was a Seabee in the Navy. I have a tattoo dedicated to my Grandparents on my arm and had a bee added in for him for that reason actually. I love and miss my Grandpa so much - how awesome you got to do this!! 🖤🖤🖤

    I really enjoyed this interview and it's such a nice thing to keep of him. I got a bit teary because I lost my grandad last year and he was my best friend, I am getting a tattoo done for his memory for my birthday. I really enjoyed his perspective and I hope you continue to interview people with tattoos from different backgrounds, we all hear and see young people with tattoos but people get them for different reasons like cancer survivors and people in the service so I hope you branch out and do that.

    my grandad was in the navy from the age of 14 (I never knew him but we have loads of photos of him) I just asked my mum if he ever got tattooed and was so shocked to find out he never, when I think of that generation and the service I always imagine servicemen having at least one tattoo and my reaction was just like 😰
