John Stamos decided to go big when it came to his first tattoo at the age of 62.
The Full House alum went all out after deciding now was the "right" time to get some ink, and he certainly didn't start small.
John left his Instagram followers stunned when he showed off the huge tattoo on his upper right arm, featuring a Native American on horseback looking skyward.
"The Beach Boys placed this image: 'Appeal to the Great Spirit' over Brother Records as a symbol of artistic freedom and trust in a higher creative path," he captioned a video montage of the tattooing process.
"Lately I've felt that same pull in my own life. Stepping into this new chapter of my career, taking bigger swings, following the work wherever it leads."
He added: "The timing felt right, so I put that Great Spirit on my arm as a reminder to stay brave, stay open, and trust the direction the art is taking me."
His followers were quick to react to John's tattoo, with one commenting: "Wow! Love the tat. Powerful symbolism. Go John!!!!!!" A second said: "You went big! Looks good."

John appears to be looking at life through a different lens after turning 62 last August, which he celebrated by sharing a topless photo of himself in nothing but black Calvin Klein briefs while indulging in an al fresco rooftop shower.
"A rooftop birthday shower in NYC to start the day, and the love of family and friends to carry me through," he captioned the steamy photo.
"At 62, I've learned the best things in life can't be washed away…laughter, love, and gratitude. Thank you for every wish and every year. I don't take a single drop for granted," he added.

The unexpected photo caused a big reaction from his followers, and many agreed that John is as "sexy" as ever.
John's wife, Caitlin McHugh, also took to Instagram to share a sweet message for her husband on his special day, alongside family photos that included their son Billy, seven.

John is a doting family man and credits his wife, whom he married in February 2018, and their son for keeping him on a "new path," following his struggles with alcohol addiction.

"You could get going for a little while. Then, it's like, 'I can drink again,'" he explained, adding: "So it's staying on the path is what they mostly do for me."
