I'm just wondering how some of that fine line ink will look when those girls are 38.
My pals that got ink 20 or more years ago have blurry patches of colour where once was well defined details.
My shoulder tats have feathered edges somewhat in the 10 years I've had them too.
Yeah .. it's changed -- I have tats that are more than 20 years old, as well as a current piece that is unfinished and last worked on last Friday (four days old) ... the technology is a lot the same - still electromag-driven guns and some rotary guns - the inks have changed though the colours available now are stunning ..
One of my tats more that 20 years old needs a recolour - but the lines are still OK ... one of my 20-year-old + pieces the fine lines are still fine lines and the one on my ear has survived very well for 12 years in the sun all the time
I think it depeds on the ink, the workmanship, but more importantly whereabout on the bod it is ..
