Brandy O’Reilly wasn’t new to the idea of getting inked, but something she hadn’t thought about before? Her dear, old grandma getting a tattoo alongside her.
Judy Dede went viral in a video where she gently said, “I’m gonna blow your mind. I wanna get a tattoo!” Even though she has lived over 80 years, she sounded like she had the excitement and innocence of a child. No wonder Judy went viral — she’s the internet’s granny now!
Apparently, Granny Judy read an article, written by a woman of similar age, that wanted to live life to the fullest and got a tattoo on a whim. Judy said, “You know what, I’m living each day as best I can because you never know what tomorrow is going to bring.”
Not only is Judy a fun granny to hang out with but she’s also a genuinely inspiring human! No matter what age you are, you should definitely live your life like Grandma Judy!
Brandy shared the clip of her grandma on TikTok, and soon enough, Judy went viral! The video now has almost 6 million views and started the trending hashtag, “tatgranny.”
