B/G tattoos are the only ones that looks good when healed. Color fades so hard… *cries a bit*

They look great.

I’m sold on color though. As far as color tattoos aging? If I live to be 100 years old, my oldest tattoo will be 44 years old.

I plan on using whatever aftercare I can to keep them bright.

I dug up one for now,
Jan 2012 the day it was done /

May 2013 /

So I actually just got some touch up work done to my left arm sleeve and my Ankh and then added the background to my skull and butterflies sleeve so those I really can’t post. I’ve got a Fresh Vs. Old of my Memorial tattoo. I’ll post the before/after of my ankh before yesterday!

Memorial piece done February 10th, 2012

Then I just took these a few minutes ago. First one is with the flash on.

Then without the flash.

My Ankh right after it was redone on October 28th, 2011

Then this one was taken on April 29th, 2013. Like I said, I got it touched up yesterday so I’ll post pictures again maybe later down the road of this one.

Yea my artist and I agreed yesterday that my memorial piece really didn’t need to much work hence why we didn’t touch it up yesterday. The original pic is kind of dark, ill see about finding the one off his portfolio maybe. As you can see on my Ankh though, while it was healing a scab had formed right by the Ankh itself, just under the second leaf on the right side, and it was either pulled off by my pants or whatever but I lost color there. We fixed that part yesterday as well as some other areas of the background. The legs still hurt like hell to get tattooed, it was not pleasant but thankfully didn’t last long!

Here is the picture of my memorial piece he has on his portfolio. Still not much change from then til now.
