Susan Sarandon gets children’s initials tattooed at 61

Susan Sarandon has revealed she’s joined the ranks of tattooed stars at the age of 61.

The Thelma and Louise star had a vertical piece - composed of the letters M, E and J in a gothic style - down her neck and spine, and another on her wrist, tattooed a few weeks ago.

When asked about her motives for her body art recently, she replied: “Why not? I turned 60 [last year] and after a while you think, ‘Well I’ve only got my body for a few more years anyway’.”

“[The] one around my wrist reads ‘E’ and ‘A’ [which stands for Eva Amurri, her third child].”

“And I have a big one on my back which is my kids’ initials intertwined. It’s on my back so I don’t see it but I know they are always there.”

She added that she feels considerably younger than her years because: “I have a young husband, I have young kids.”

“I don’t smoke, I have lots of water, do a fair amount of activity and have good genes.”

“I live in New York and there is not so much anxiety there to look good and that helps.”
