Colors fade, and at different rates; that's a lot of ink, it's probably going to get muddy looking over the decades. Lines that start out crisp tend to blur over time. Yellows and reds are fugitive. I've heard tattoo inks are formulated differently now, so who knows. Time will tell. I don’t know about how it’s going to hold up.

WAY to clean of lines and color and where is the redness? A new Tat has a red shadow around it from the needle and an old Tat would fade after the Scab is gone. --- just wondering, but I don't believe it! I think it’s a fake!!!

My friend Andrea did this tattoo, she works at Slave To The Needle, she's just a brilliant tattoo artist who knows how to do clean lines and put in color properly. Check her work out, and the other artists as well, there's some great talent there. It is NOT a fake, silly… and it’s healed.

Even if I don't wear shirts that show off my "muscles". Actually, I can't think of anything I'd want on me forever. My partner is tattooed. I'm not. Every time I think of something that may be different or ironic or funny or whatever I can only think about how I'll feel in 10 years. But then I over-think most things anyway.

I think their skin still functions as originally intended, it just looks a little different. There's a difference between "ruined" and "defaced", "marred", "beautified", "decorated", etc. if that's what you were getting at. It's beautifully executed. Ruined their skin?
