Guada Kelly's great-grandchildren took to TikTok earlier this month to share a video of their grandmother, which has garnered over 3.8 million views. Guada's story has now gone viral.
Guada's four great-grandchildren decided to have a tattoo session, and their great-grandmother joined in on the fun. At 91, Granny Guada got her very first tattoo.

While her grandchildren were excited about the shared experience, many of the almost four million people who saw her story were not impressed with Gauda for getting a tattoo at her age.
