Never tattoo old

Care home resident Dorothy gets inking of Snoopy aged 89

- MARTIN FRICKER

AT the age of 89, a care home resident has fulfilled a teenage dream by having cartoon dog Snoopy tattooed on her arm.

Dorothy France clutched a Snoopy cuddly toy as she sat in the chair and had the inking done.

She said she wished she had taken the plunge sooner.

Dorothy added: "I now have my boy Snoopy with me for ever.

"I can't wait to get another one in a few weeks' time. I wasn't expecting it to be so quick especially after waiting 89 years."

She told the BBC: "Maybe I should get one on my bum next."
