As one grows older, the skin starts shrinking, does this have any serious effect on tattoos?
One of the warnings about tattoos we often heard as kids was that tattoos don’t age well. Countless parents warned their teens against getting tattoos with the warning that they’ll look ugly, faded, or just downright stupid as they get older. But for every hipster barista with a full arm sleeve, in forty years, there will be a grumpy sixty-year-old who regrets the decision they made in their twenties every time they look at their tattoos on old saggy skin. Not to say that old people with tattoos aren’t badass, but old tattoos need to be planned and taken care of properly if you want them to look as good when you’re older. If you’re planning on getting your first tattoo, you’re probably wondering what that permanent mark on your body will look like when you age. If you want to prevent your tattoo from looking like those old wrinkly tattoos you often see on older people, then you have to keep your tattoos looking good even as you get older.
