well, I've collected over 50 tattoos now ,and some are over 10 years old and some of the old ones look a lot better than some Tattoos (less than a year old )I've seen on a lot of people.I stay outta the sun.take good care of my skin ect. I am also a Tattoo artist in a very busy street shop here in MIA.and see lot's of tattoos old, and new.I have a customer who was tattooed over 25 years ago (not by me I'm 27) in NY and I gotta tell ya those still look sweet as hell,an he is or was kinduva roughnek gotta lotta sun ect.never "babied his investment"anyways before I continue ranting my point is a tattoos appearance varies greatly from person to person aftercare is just as important as the artist who applies it. we can bust our ass putting on a nice piece of art on you but if you neglect youre tattoo in the two weeks during healing and let the sun have his or her way on it.then yeah they will definately look shitty. well here are some other pics I think go well with this topic..Kreepy tiki Jaksin
