Croatian Tattooed Grandma Cult: Do Grandmas Look Cool With Tats?

Tea Turalija discovered she belonged to a secret Catholic cult that developed when the Ottoman Empire occupied Bosnia. The cult members identified each other by tattooing their hands and arms using a compound ink made up, in part, of human breast milk.

The communists took over Yugoslavia after World War II and forced the end of practicing Catholicism. Ms. Turalija met some Pacific Islanders, who have a long history of full-body tattoos. With their help, Ms. Turalija decided to reinvoke the tradition of tattooing. Check out the pictures of Ms. Turalija and the other grandma tattoos.

VICE.COM reports:
When she got older, Tea discovered that all the inked-up old folk around her were from the final generation of a secret Catholic cult that developed while Bosnia was occupied by the Ottoman Empire.

    I don't think anyone looks cool w/ tattoos. Disgusting trend, many many people will regret this one day.

    I think the outfit the elderly woman is wearing in the first picture is more disturbing than the tattoos.

    I tend to agree. The ink, while excessive for my taste, actually still looks pretty good.

    They don't?

    Let's see if you say that in about 50 years when *you* get there.

    IF you get there.

    Is this guy cool?

    I know a lot of people who have got them young and I think that yes, a lot will regret it. The reason being most of them just ran out and got tattooed without a second thought. There's no meaning behind why they have something tattooed it's just there because. If you get something you thought about and has some sort of meaning to you then I don't see how you could regret it (unless its an exs name). In saying that I also know a couple old people who have tatts and to them it tells a story. But back then I don't think they saw flames on someones wrists and ran out to get it. Or got tribal without being in a tribe. It really depends. But not everyone regrets what they got inked.

    I guess the ethnic thing is pretty cool, and was out of her control. i've seen 65 year old career women with tatts and 10 studdded ears, and they just look ridiculous...like a hippie love in decision they didn't realize would look silly 50 years later...

    LOL. My esteem has nothing to do with my tats.

    You're still living in the 1950's mentality. It's 2012: Get a grip.

    You're just afraid to "own your life" for yourself. You're hung up on convention.

    No not really, actually I gre up in the 70s in Los Angeles and was part of the small group of people who tattooed ourselves at the time with the "mi vida loca" and all the other gang symbols. In the 90s when the laser removal became available I began to remove all my tattoos at a cost of thousands of dollars. I did it because followed the homies in my neighborhood and that culture spread with the popularity of rap to the professional sports players and from there to society in general! I just don't get it! Maybe it's because I learned that I don't have to alter myself physically to stand out.

    I can deal with that. I came from a similar hood, yes indeed, and some coverups were in line...no one knows better than me. I teach school: unless someone sees them on here or on FB, no one knows I even have tats because I wear a shirt and tie all day. I didn't get them to "stand out."

    More power to you.

    I think grandmas should be nice and sweet and no tattoos. But I mean, if she had them as a teen you can't really say anything, especially if you're someone with a tattoo. Cause then you'll be a grandma/pa with a tattoo!
