Castleford House handed out stick on tattoos for around 15 residents - along with complimentary bottles of beer.

The care home in Chepstow put on the fun event on July 11 after one resident said they’d always wanted a tattoo.

Others had also regularly complemented Head of Lifestyles Amelia Pace – who herself has tattoos.

Amelia, who’s been working at the home for seven years, came up with the idea for tattoos and booze to bring some joy to the home, and says it was a big success.

“I wasn’t expecting such a positive response from the residents – because some older people really don’t like tattoos,” she said.

“But they all loved it.

“I’ve got tattoos myself and there’s only got one resident with a tattoo.

“Others often say they like my arm, and one resident previously say they want one."
