Yesterday, we showed you some truly regrettable tattoos. Today, we’re doing the opposite, with a gallery of tattoos that make life immeasurably better–specifically, Golden Girls tattoos.
Even the show about sassy sixtysomethings went off the air in 1992, it’s still as popular as ever today. It’s pretty easy to see why. First of all, it was a damn good show. The show won several awards during its seven seasons, and it regularly makes it onto lists of the best tv shows of all time. Then, there’s the show’s positive message about the value of loyal friends, which still resonates with people today. And finally, Golden Girls managed to break television norms by having four female protagonists over sixty–you rarely see that even today! (And that needs to change.)
Add it all up, and it’s easy to see why people are still getting Golden Girls ink over 25 years later. Below, you can check out some sweet tats paying tribute to the Fab Four. Hopefully, you’ll even be inspired to get a few yourself!
