When 31-year-old photographer Abby Griffin wanted a life-long memory with her grandmother in Geneva, Illinois, she came up with an idea and suggested to her grandmother that they both get matching tattoos. Abby wasn’t sure if her 87-year-old grandmother, Elaine Jaecks, would even acknowledge the idea, let alone say yes. So imagine her surprise when Elaine said yes.
Elaine, who is known in her family for her adventurous streak, didn’t just agree. She embraced the idea with the same bold energy with which she has lived her life.
