Waited A Long Time For This

"So I was 25 when I originally had it done. Didn't have any instructions on how to take care of it when I did. So I treated it like crap. I finally got it redone on my 50th birthday. Both pictures are from the same day. The first time it was done in a small town in Saskatchewan and now I got it done here in Kelowna."

That looks good for an aged forearm tattoo. If it wasn't constantly exposed to sun and it was lotioned daily, it would look even better. Tattoo care is a lifetime project, kids, not just when it's healing!

Lines don't bleed that quickly. My guess is you found the left pic online and wanted it and it turned out bad so you posted both and made it seem like you just didn't get a cheap tattoo.
