'I'm a tattooed nan and people call my outfits disgusting - they need to get a life'

A tattooed and pierced grandmother who loves showing off her

body art

in low-cut dresses has no time for those who seek to bring her down, advising them to "grow up and get a brain". The heavily inked nan recently took to TikTok to open up about a frustrating experience with a very rude woman, who apparently thought it necessary to comment on her appearance.

Looking furious in the video, the "p***** off" grandma, who lives in Australia, revealed she was left seething at the way people had been looking at her and laughing that day, simply because of her outfit choice and colourful body art.

Addressing her followers, the nan, who goes by the TikTok username @sweetheartnan66, fumed: "One lady walked up and said, "You should be ashamed of yourself, that is disgusting, you look revolting'.

"I'm like, how dare you. People need to grow up and get a brain and stop being so rude. Seriously, it's not called for. Why can't they just accept that it's only a fricking tattoo? God, it's not that bad. It just p***** me off how rude and upsetting people can be. I don't care. F*** em."

In a follow-up vid, she continued: "I'm just so disgusted in people and their attitudes towards tattoos and piercings and boobs. The amount of men that were staring at my breasts and, you know, it was so embarrassing.

"One guy nearly fell over. Come on now, it's only a boob - you've got a wife, surely you’ve seen t*** before? I don't know. I just can't believe it. It's just so rude.

"That really did upset me today. I feel good about me, I feel good about how I dress, I love who I am. And then some person says something like that. That's frustrating."

Fortunately, the ticked-off grandmother has found plenty of support online, where many of her followers have praised her "bada**" style.

One person commented: "All the future generations will look like you. Her response was revolting. What world does she live in? You look amazing to me. It's badass."

Another agreed: "If I saw you in person I would be like omg I can't wait to look like that when I'm older."

A third wrote: "Dude, if I walked in a room and had to pick a seat it'd be beside you. You look cool as hell."
