Meet Joyce, a 59-year-old mature post-graduate student at the University of Aberdeen studying for an MSc in Sociology. She got in touch with us to help her find more women like her… read more below.
“I am carrying out a research study on why women choose to get a tattoo – especially those who get their first one later in life. It’s a bit hard to define this age group without insulting people or being stereotypical. What I mean is, those women who didn’t get tattoos before they were around 60ish. Women like me! I’m 59 and three quarters. I really want to interview women face to face over a coffee or tea, but as I live in Aberdeen that might prove impossible for some, so email or Skype would be great too.
“I’ll probably only need to meet/talk once, but it would be lovely to meet before and after a tattoo too – as a follow up and to see the finished artwork. The risks involved are minimal – I’m friendly and if there are any questions you don’t want to answer or topics you don’t want to talk about, then that’s fine too.”
If this sounds like something of interest to you… please get in touch with Joyce at joycebowler@hotmail.
