I love this, it makes the dog look softer and more floofy. 10/10 good boi/girl

Way too much sun exposure. Embrace the sunscreen.

More sunscreen. Less sun.

The faded is actually prettier

This is the kind of tattoo I wanted to see in this thread. I want to see how they look after decades, not 2 years of slight fading after the artist probably used a filter on the fresh pic anyway.

Color still looks great!!!

Looks great for 15

Sorry for your loss.

it doesnt look like the same tattoo? Some of the lines are darker most of the color is gone? I mean its gotta be the same, right? Its too similar. But It aged in ways i wouldnt have expected.

Looks great 👍

That saturation at first was still incredible but second looks like a real decent tat... Like I'm not even sure the first one is untampered

I LOVE GREG! He did my thigh tattoo as well. He's amazing

Someone did a really great job

The Phoenix still looks beautiful

That is STUNNING.

Has definitely stood up better than these other 10+ years tattoos!!

Better with time.

really pretty

Don't like how this one aged. Very fine lines tend to blur with age

I read 'Lov Ey Ou'. Whoever Ey Ou is, they're lucky

Is that Helga Pataki?

Having a tattoo where eczema flares up is ROUGH! Need to itch. Can’t mess up ink. Can’t leave scars. Paid too much money. But the ITCH 😵‍💫

Bold will hold

I don't think most tattoo artists explain how much red, orange and gold fade and change over time.

Did the skin reject all the yellow?

Great to see the artist get credit!

Sunscreen!!!

Love the much softer look of the healed tattoo!

You literally have a side stitch.😄

Looks so familiar but I cannot think of who it is.... But yeah great looking well cared for.

Looks nice still

Wow a lot of lines are just gone

I want to see a tattoo at 20 and what it looks like at 80.

Nice detail 🙂 Oddly, I like how your tattoo aged. To me it looks better than when it was first done. I can say that I have never seen an aged tat look better than it did when it was first done. That's very interesting and actually pretty cool 😎

I like this design a lot

Lotion it up and it will pop better

I love the floral around it

Can't decide if weird or genius time to get a plague doctor...

Snazzy Tattoo!

This isn't the same tat. Look at the top crossbar. First is shaded red and curved up. Second is shaded blue and curved down. Or am I imagining this??

The colors are still nice and vibrant

In so many of these pictures, the person looks practically jaundiced in the first one. It's hard to tell how much the tattoo has changed because the skin looks so different.

Kelly is a queen!!!!

Can still see individual feathers and other details I'd say this lasted really well.

It looked so real! Now not so much

And it looks every day of it

Wait, 1996 wasn't 25 years a.... dammit, I'm old

Looks like may need a touch up, unless it's pics fault. It looks like some is Completely faded away.

Still looks really good

It's cool that they sleeved it up!

That's cute. Was for grandfather, or?

Wow that is so feminine
