“People Call Me Disgusting,” a Grandma With Tattoos Fiercely Responds to Online Critics

You might not think of her as the typical grandma we imagine, but she deserves credit for being original and stylish. But you know how it is with “unusual” people—they don’t always get the warmest welcome. So, when she posted a TikTok showing herself, the responses weren’t all that great.

Imagine your grandma, who always baked cookies and told stories, now rocking tattoos and piercings. Yep, you read that right! Even grandmas can surprise us with their cool choices.

You know, tattoos and piercings used to be like stuff only young people did. But this grandma from Australia decided she wouldn’t play by those rules. And it’s not just about looking cool; it’s about showing her story.

Meet @sweetheartnan66, the Aussie grandma who’s anything but ordinary—and she’s loving every bit of it! She’s not letting anyone rain on her parade, especially not the bullies who dared to call her “disgusting” just because she’s rocking tattoos, facial piercings, and sundresses.

Now, some people might wonder why she’s doing this at her age. But that’s the neat thing about choices — they’re hers to make. @sweetheartnan66 is a true inspiration, breaking free from the stereotypical grandma image. Her tattoos each have their own story to tell, and her piercings are badges of confidence, proving that self-expression knows no age limit.

In a candid TikTok video, @sweetheartnan66 expressed her frustration and disappointment with those who have subjected her to hurtful comments. The video garnered significant attention, amassing over 740,000 views and nearly 10,000 comments. The overwhelming support that flooded in for @sweetheartnan66 is a testament to the empathy and understanding of her fellow TikTokers.

“I am so mad at the way people have looked at me and laughed at me today because of the dress I’m wearing and my tattoos.” She claimed, “One lady walked up and said, ’You should be ashamed of yourself, that is disgusting, you look revolting.’”

The response to @sweetheartnan66’s video has been incredibly heartwarming, with viewers rallying behind her and leaving a flood of encouraging comments to show their unwavering support. It’s heartening to see how people from all walks of life have come together to uplift her and stand up against the negativity she’s been facing.

In the clip, she keeps saying, “Stop being so rude. It’s not called for. Why can’t they just accept that it’s only a tattoo? It’s not that bad. It just [makes me mad] how rude and upsetting people can be. I don’t care.”

In another video, she again discusses the topic and addresses the trolls. “I may not be to everybody’s liking. That’s just how it is. We’re all made not to like everybody. If you like me and say you love me, then love me. Don’t hate me. Love me for who I am. I’m not perfect. We all have our imperfections. I might be crazy. I might not be the normal sort of woman that people know, but at least I’m an individual. I’m the way I’m supposed to be.”

With unwavering courage, @sweetheartnan66 is sending a message to those criticized for not fitting into conventional molds. Her story highlights the importance of self-confidence and self-expression, regardless of age or appearance.

In celebrating her uniqueness, @sweetheartnan66 empowers herself and encourages others to embrace their individuality and stand tall against negativity. She reminds us all that the most beautiful aspect of humanity is its diversity, and true beauty emanates from the confidence to be one’s genuine self.

Just like that tattooed granny who recently got her first ink, this grandma isn’t the only woman her age embracing tattoos and feeling comfortable in her own skin.
