“But what will it look like when you’re old?”

Probably like a tattoo on someone who’s lived a life. ♥️

Tattoos changing over time are often framed as something negative. But when we really get to the root of the problem, much of it comes back to societal discomfort with visible ageing itself.

People rarely fear the tattoo itself. What they often fear is what it will look like with age…

Tattoos are treated like they only belong on younger bodies, with self-expression, creativity and visibility becoming less acceptable with age. And the idea of ageing skin being something to be ashamed of.

But tattoos on older skin tell a story, which is beauty in itself. And can also hold so much more than aesthetics alone: from identity and heritage to humour, rebellion, grief and lived experience. Tattoos can carry deeply personal meaning.

Ultimately, we believe ageing as a reason to become less expressive, less visible, or less yourself. Whether someone gets tattooed at 18 or 80, that choice should belong to them.

So no one should feel they can’t have them, at any age or stage of life (as long as you’re 18+ !).

And, as outlined in our manifesto under ‘Choice’, we believe ending ageism means being empowered to choose how you wish to age - without judgement or pressure.

Have you ever been told you’d regret a tattoo because of ageing, or noticed how differently tattoos are viewed once people get older?

And if you have tattoos yourself, have your feelings towards them changed over time? Or are you considering getting your very first one?

We’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences below.

There’s seeing a growing wave of articles and commentary around declining birth rates as more people are choosing not to have children, or to have them later. And it’s being often served alongside pressure narratives, urgency, even panic.

Whilst we understand concerns about long-term population and economic stability, what concerns us is where some of these views are coming from, and the pressure and responsibility they placing on individuals, particularly women. Too often, the conversation feels imbalanced, with important perspectives missing.

In particular, the conversation ignoring the potential the opportunities and supporting of an ageing population.

Discussions around birth rates are frequently too narrow, overlooking the wider context of demographic change. Whilst declining birth rates may present challenges, they also sit alongside an important shift: we are living longer lives which, in theory, means more time to contribute to society and the economy.

But ageing populations are still framed as a problem. So their potential is not being fully realised.

We are not investing enough in supporting healthier, more fulfilling and more contributory longer lives. Nor are we consistently creating workplaces, systems and communities where people feel valued, included and able to contribute and have purpose as they get older.

The result? A disproportionate focus on increasing birth rates, driven by a partial picture - and, at times, pressure and panic.

Responsibility largely sits at a systems level: policy, government and business must step up - not shift that responsibility onto personal life choices - and address structural barriers that continue to limit participation and opportunity.

Having children is, and should remain, a personal choice. No one should feel judged, steered or defined by that decision - only supported.

So the question shouldn’t just be about we grow populations, but how we better include the people already here.

That’s why changing hearts and minds around ageing, cultivating longer, better lives, and fostering true age inclusion matters so deeply.

“Essential qualities in life are kindness, patience and respect”

Congratulations to Dame Mary Berry () who received BAFTA’s highest honour of a BAFTA Fellowship yesterday, recognising a career that has shaped British television for over 50 years.

From her early work on Collector’s World to The Great British Bake Off to her own shows since, her presence on screen has been built on consistency, craft and an openness to keep learning along the way.

And we greatly appreciate how, in her acceptance speech, she spoke about kindness, patience and respect - qualities that have guided her through both life and work, and qualities we should never underestimate or undervalue.

As she also highlights, her learning hasn’t stopped, nor has continuing to take on new ambitions: we love that she’s starting a YouTube channel to explore more ways to share her work, experience, be relevant and connect with others.

Beyond Mary’s own career, all of this reflects an important message,

Growth doesn’t sit in neat stages and curiosity does not switch off. What people choose to build or begin can keep shifting over time. What matters is staying open, engaged and continuing to evolve in your own way. And it’s never too late to start something new.

Thank you Mary for inspiring us to keep learning, evolving and staying curious. ❤️

There’s an anti-ageism arts revolution driven by movement and dance happening in London…

As part of its dedication to presenting, producing, and supporting dance in all its forms, world leading dance organisation Sadler’s Wells is committed to showcasing, celebrating, and supporting people of all ages - breaking down stereotypes, transforming hearts and minds around ageing, and reflecting the beautifully multigenerational, age-diverse world we live in.

From championing professional older dancers who continue their creative practice, to being home to its resident performance company ‘Company of Elders’ for dancers aged 60+, to hosting free all-ages classes and workshops, they are using dance to create connection, challenge assumptions, and break down barriers around what’s possible.

And through Elixir Festival - Sadler’s Wells’ biennial celebration of lifelong creativity - they continue to spotlight the artistic contributions of older dancers and artists.

This is about showcasing, platforming and creating opportunities for everyone: those who wish to continue their practice and performing, those curious to evolve creatively, those returning to movement, and those with no experience at all. There is an entry point for every ability, every background, and every age.

This is not simply “grannies who dance.” This is about proving, on a world-class stage, that there is no age limit on creativity, self-expression, movement, or ambition - and that it is never too late to experience the joy, physical, cognitive, emotional, and social benefits of dance and performance.

Because time doesn’t make you become less. It simply can make you different. And that, in itself, is beauty and art.

How can we all live better, for longer? And what role does storytelling play in changing hearts and minds, so we can add life to years, not just years to life?

Yesterday we teamed up with , based at Oxford University, to present the a special one off webinar: The Birds & The Bees 2.0 🐥🐝

Thank you all who joined - we were thrilled with the turnout, the breadth of individuals tuning in, and really appreciated all your comments and questions.

And if you missed it, don’t worry! You can catch up now for free on demand on linkedin

During the dynamic live, our conversation explored the science and the storytelling of healthy longevity - and why both are essential to unlocking longer, better lives for individuals and the businesses serving them.

🔬 Sir Muir Gray, Board Member for and former Chief Knowledge Officer of the NHS unpacked the latest research in healthy longevity, showing how we add life to years - not just years to life - and sharing practical ways to take greater agency through prevention, behaviour and care.

💬 and our founder & CEO Jacynth Bassett explored a crucial, often overlooked truth: even the most powerful longevity innovations can fall short when communicated through outdated, narratives - and what must be done to ensure innovation is not just created, but embraced and adopted.

👉 Because if we don’t get both the science and the story right, will we really seize the opportunity of better, longer lives?

Catch up now watching the full webinar via link in bio

Please note: at the moment the webinar is only available to watch on catch up on linkedin, but we hope to make it available to watch on other channels soon.

Respectful? Reductive? Both? Can dressing up as an older person be ‘art’? 🤔

At last night’s Met Gala, Bad Bunny appeared as an older version of himself - a hyper-realised portrayal of what he might look like at 85.

The moment has been widely praised as artistic, thought-provoking, and a commentary on fashion’s long-standing discomfort with ageing.

It’s put older age in the spotlight, encouraged younger people to engage, and we’re delighted it’s opened up conversation on our fixation on youth. On the beauty of ageing. On positioning ageing and older age within a contemporary, stylish culturally relevant lens.

But we also have some discomforts.

Ageing is not theoretical or a novelty. It’s real and universal - not something that can be adopted, performed, and then set aside.

So is it appropriate to recreate for ‘arts sake’ the physical realities that some in older age experience - whilst they themselves remain underrepresented?

And is this just perpetuating ableist attitudes, and stereotypes around ageing? For example cane usage isn’t limited to age, nor should it be reduced to a novelty prop for one evening.

Or maybe Bad Bunny’s ‘look’ is actually helping to destigmatise it?

Or maybe it’s all of the above?

What is clear is this moment has highlighted the continued issue around language used to discuss ageing lags behind. For example, commentary of this moment has regularly included terms such as “elderly” or describing Bad Bunny as an “abuelo” demonstrating, yet again, how older people are reduced to familial labels.

It is also important to remember a younger person dressing up as older is not the same as genuine age-diverse representation. The two are not interchangeable. And at a time when AI is threatening to replace almost anything, we need to be working to ensure that real people of all ages are equally visible.

Ultimately art has always been a space to challenge, provoke, and unsettle - to spark discussion and shift perspectives.

Perhaps that is the point? And the subtleties lie in nuance and context?

As always we invite your respectful discussion ♥️
