“Age Just a Number? 😜 80-year-old US Rep. Rosa DeLauro Gets Tattoed Alongside Grandkid! 🌹✒️”
TL;DR: Connecticut US Rep. Rosa DeLauro, well-known for her flamboyant attire and tresses, breaks the mold (again!) at 80 with a symbolic tat inspired by family and heritage. And guess who tagged along? Her college-bound 18-year-old granddaughter! 🎉
Who says you’ve got to be a rebellious teen to get inked? 🤔 Connecticut’s own fashionista in Congress, Rosa DeLauro, just added some permanent flair to her already-vibrant style! While she’s been turning heads in DC with her eye-catching wardrobe and unique hairstyles for years, this time it was her freshly tattooed skin that caught our attention.
It’s one thing to be an octogenarian and decide to get a tattoo, but doing it as a bonding activity with your granddaughter? Now, that’s a story! As Rosa quipped, “For her 18th birthday, my granddaughter wanted to get a tattoo with me. So, we went together. She’s off to college in the fall, and this strengthens our bond.” Aww, isn’t that the sweetest? 🥰
But wait, there’s a twist! 💃 The tattoo isn’t just any random design; it’s deeply personal. On Rosa’s left upper arm, there’s a beautifully crafted rose, symbolizing her first name. Look closer, and you’ll see a petal forming a distinct “D,” paying homage to her surname. And for the cherry on top (or should we say, the base of the rose 🌹), there’s a stylized outline of Italy, giving a shoutout to her father’s homeland. Classy, right?
Sure, Rosa might be joining the tattoo club a bit late, but she’s in good company. Remember when Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. John Fetterman’s tats became a buzz in 2022?
Since 1991, Rosa has been a pillar for Connecticut’s 3rd Congressional District. Currently, she’s rockin’ it as a ranking member of the House Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittee.
The funniest bit? This might just be the beginning of Rosa’s ink journey! When asked about future tattoo plans, she playfully noted, “I have four more grandkids who still haven’t turned 18 yet.” 🤩
So, dear readers, here’s our burning question for you: If age ain’t nothing but a number, what’s YOUR excuse for not doing that wild thing you’ve always dreamt of? And if you were to get a tattoo, what personal story would it tell? 🤟💭🎨
