Gloria Weberg got her first tattoo when she was 80 years old. She decided that every ten years upon thereafter, she would get another 100.

Well, Weberg is about to turn 100, so it's just about time to head back to the parlor.


Weberg's first tattoo, "NY NY 1922," represents the city and year of her birth. At the age of 80, she added a goddess that represents Mother Earth. At 90, she added seven stars representing her children.

No word yet on what she'll have done for 100!

Weberg told the Associated Press that "being active" is the key to her long life. "My secret is being active. To be aware of what's going on in the world in every way, from what my children were doing, their education, how important that was to me."

And what about a tattoo for 110? Weberg says, "Probably something like, 'Are you still here?' or 'I'm still here."
