Taylor Paige Courtenay, 27, from South Devon, England, is defending her heavily tattooed body against criticism from the “older generation,” who warn she’ll regret her ink at 60.
Covering her neck, arms, stomach, and legs, she calls her tattoos a “tapestry of memories” and embraces her individuality. On TikTok, she admits she’ll never be “the girl they take home to their parents” or “show off,” but insists her skin makes her happy.
Critics online often suggest she hide her tattoos or worry about aging, with some calling them “graffiti.” Courtenay fires back, telling them to keep their opinions to themselves. Supporters praise her confidence and ownership of her body, noting tattoos are a personal choice.
She has since disabled comments on her social media and, as of December 2024, is “that girl” to the father of her baby, born in summer 2023.
