Rita Fitzpatrick of Delgany, County Wicklow, celebrated her 85th birthday this week by becoming the first tattoo recipient in the annual Tattoo-Drive for Irish mental-health promoters, JC Foundation.
The grandmother was joined by daughter, Sam Donohoe (above left), and granddaughter Hazel Donohoe (above right) who each had a simple love-heart tattoo applied, the design selected for this year’s fundraiser.
The official Tattoo-Drive takes place on Saturday next, at The Ink Factory on 15 Wellington Quay and at 19 Parliament Street, in Dublin’s Temple Bar.
On the day, a volunteer team of fifteen tattoo artists will tattoo the love-heart design, in return for a €50 donation to the foundation. It is hoped the campaign will raise €20,000 to fund 365 free therapy sessions for young adults.

Surreal, precise monochrome tattoos combining negative space and dotwork (the tattoo equivalent of stippling) in the style of vintage scientific illustrations by Italian artist Michele Volpi.

The work of tattoo artist Esther Garcia – a variant of the controversial ‘blackout’ tatt fad of recent years in which flowers, winged creatures and other motifs are added against a black background with a nod to the style of 17th century Dutch still life.
The work of Brazilian tattoo artist Duda ‘Tattoo You’ Lozano: inked-on tatts like sewn-on embroidered patches.
Or you could just sew on actual embroidered patches.
Or just leave it and don’t be at yourself.
