AlH Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 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.

Hogrider Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I'd leave them as is. Those are nice for 30 years old. AlH and Syntheticfish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denisa Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitrok Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 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 AlH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
