Do you have a tattoo?

A few NSFW comments on this one, hence the spoiler tags.

It's a lack of research, people are hasty, in fact, if you look several posts up you'll see I posted this earlier yesterday. RESEARCH. It's key.

Well...fail!

I don't mind them, seen worse and seen better. Facial tattoos like that do seem to be gaining popularity but of varying quality.

i like this one

He looks like a right bellend with all that st on his face and neck

I apparently shouted out in my sleep the other night "Do you have any gainful employment with that tattoo on your face?!"

ETA I'm not averse to a tattoo and I suspect at some point I'll have one, but really? On the face? I wouldn't have anything visible, i.e. above collar line, or on my hands.

Having won a free 3hrs at Kamils studio.. i've just emailed them to book in with Ryan Evans for my next one. Absolutely loving his black and grey work at the moment but not sure how it'll fit in with my mega colourful shoulder so need to have a proper think once i've been up to see him to run through some ideas. He posted this pic earlier in the week

Saw, and commented on, that the other day. Love it.

Fantasies a bit too much about Chuck Norris giving him a hand job, perhaps?

How long do tattoos last? And when I say last, I mean last looking how they looked in the first year. Someone asked earlier but I don't think it was answered (they referred to intricate tattoos on young, fairly toned people).

When you see older people (with old tattoos), the tattoos seem to always look blue and blurry, is this still the case with modern inks and techniques?

Older woman with large tattoo. Doesn't seem to look to blue or blurry... Tattoo may not be that old though.

Modern inks are much better. My oldest stuff doesn't look any different to when it was done to my eyes, getting on for 9 years now. I do take pretty good care of it though.

Mines are over 20 years old,couple of small ones on my back outline faded a bit and the colours nearly gone in places.

They do fade over time but if mine go then ill just go back to get them redone.

Tbh, it doesn't bother me I'm 43 and will just let them grow old gracefully with the rest of me

I was told that modern inks don't fade as much as old stuff.

Most of mine are still looking good after a few years but also most don't get the sun on them apart from

the forearms obviously.

I don't walk around with shirt off and don't sunbathe.

[Flying Toilet]

Modern inks have come a long way and there are some exceptional ones on the market now.

Unfortunately its down to whether your artist if they decided to purchase these or not.

I think this is fantastic, some great original artwork!
