A Dundee care home resident has fulfilled a ‘lifelong dream’ to get her first tattoo at age 82. Tricia Steedman, who lives at Sanctuary Care’s Bridge View House Care Home, had a paw print and angel wings inked on her arm as a loving tribute to her late dog Rosie. Tricia always believed she would be unable to get a tattoo due to the blood-thinning medication she takes.
