Grandsons inspire 89-year-old Dorset woman’s first tattoo
Imagine waiting 89 years to fulfil a dream.
That's what happened to Hilda Parsons - a resident at Maiden Castle House care home in Dorchester. She shared her desire to get a tattoo with the staff there, who took it upon themselves to turn her dream into a reality.
BBC Radio Solent's Steve Harris has been to meet Hilda and has also been speaking to the tattoo artist who helped to make it happen.
