THE PERFECT EXAMPLE THAT TATTOOS STAY PRETTY EVEN WHEN YOUR +70. this will no longer be tolerated as an excuse.
Whenever I see someone going ‘god, can you imagine her having that tattoo when she’s old? It won’t age well, It’ll be so awful!’ I just feel sad for them that they don’t know any awesome old people.
Besides, so what if that tattoo DOESN’T age well? What if it does end up wrinkly and saggy when you’re over 70? Who cares! The rest of you will be wrinkly and saggy too. Big deal. It’s like people look different when they age or something. But modern tattooing technology also does allow tattoos to age better compared to tattooing from just a few generations ago, so you’re not so likely to end up with great-grandpa’s eagle-turned-dark-blob tattoo. Especially so if you take good care of your tattoos and don’t overdo the sun exposure.
Also, if you’re harping on someone else’s tattoo with the whole “it’ll age” thing, mind your own godsdamned business. Not your body, not your tattoo, don’t be a jerk.
