jdub Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I'm guessing for us older folks, it's a bit more challenging for artists. I'm close to 52 and have a bit of skin crepey on arms. I would think we are more susceptible to blow outs and harder for line work in skin sag areas. For us olders, what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogrider Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 All the more reason to get an experienced artist. I got my first tattoo at 50, I'm 64 now and finishing up a body suit. Keep hydrated and use cocoa butter on your skin regularly to keep it healthy. oboogie and jdub 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) I put lotion on every day due to dry skin. But yea it seems this crepey stuff has creeped up on me. I shouldn't be surprised as I have worked in the sun quite a bit. But I didnt think it would start in my 50s 😞 Edited December 20, 2021 by jdub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Depending how my arm is postured I do have a couple lines that look a bit janky and think it's due some of this crepey stuff. I did lose a bit of weight and think it factors into it. But I am really happy with the what I got done 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oboogie Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) I'm not much younger than you are, and I don't have crepey skin. Working in the sun definitely ages your skin faster. I'm pale as a ghost. It helps. Edited January 6, 2022 by oboogie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
