At 81 years of age, Dame Judi Dench has taken the plunge and got her first ever tattoo.

The Spectre actress showed off her new ink at a gala in Guildford, England earlier this month and revealed it was a gift from her daughter Finty Williams.

The 81-year-old is “seizing the day” with her new ink!

“That’s my motto: ‘Seize the day.’ Finty gave it to me for my 81st birthday – she’s wonderful with surprises,” she told Surrey Life magazine.

Last year, Judi told The Mirror UK she was thinking of getting some permanent body art.

“I am tempted to have a tattoo to mark my birthday. Finty’s very keen on me having one,” she said.

“There’s an Indian symbol that I like which supposedly represents life and love and everything.”

“One of the cameramen who worked on The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel told me what it meant, but I’m a bit nervous in case I’m being set up… It might be unbelievably rude!”
