Old tats

[AlH]

Hello all,

  So my old 30 year old tats are looking ragged compared to my latest piece.

What does everyone else do or think?

Im partial to leave them as they are a part of my history and the artist who did them is no longer able to tattoo.

What do you guys do with aging ink?

I would like to see some pics of aging ink too if you have any. I am talking 20 years old or more.

I think they get a “patina” on them 😉

thanks for reading this far.

classic 80s era.

I'd leave them as is. Those are nice for 30 years old.

Thanks guys.

@SStuyou nailed it.

Right out of the ‘80s.

Hello, in my youth a friend tattooed me with a sign, I never learned what it meant, you do not know what this sign means or where to find out more about this sign. I apologize for the quality of the photo.

no way to tell, find a good cover up artist and get it covered up.

Looks like a Chinese character possibly

To pass the time, I used to gamble here when I got these tattoos.

These tattoos look old. When did you get them?

Just old-school baby!!!

my oldest tat is about 20 yrs old, and it still looks great. I'll try and post a pic soon. I accredit this with the fact that my shirt often covers it, and I don't go in the sun much so I avoid a lot of sun damage

Oldest was probably 1986 or 87. Then one a year after that until the '90s
