101-year-old lady gets her third tattoo

Mimi Rosenthal, 101, has two daughters, three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren — and now she also has three tattoos. Her tattoo artist is Michelle Gallo-Kohlas, a longtime family friend, who inks Rosenthal at Requiem Body Art, an upscale Spring Hill piercing and tattoo shop.

At age 99, Rosenthal decided to get her first tattoo, an "itty bitty" blue butterfly about the size of a dime on her ankle. It was fine, except Rosenthal thought it was too small.



At 100, Rosenthal got a bigger tattoo, a silver-dollar-sized flower, on her other leg. But it required her to lift her pant leg to show it off.

On Saturday, Gallo-Kohlas inked a sunflower on the fleshy part of Rosenthal's left arm. "Next time I'm getting it on my butt," Rosenthal kiddingly said.
