Blue porcelain tattoo, oozy style
I can't find any examples of aged blue porcelain tattoos. I really want to get this style but fear the unknown. Oozy has been doing this style for almost 10yrs does anyone have any examples of oozy or any similar blue porcelain tattoos ageing?
18 Year Old Traditional Storm Cloud
My first tattoo. Got it when I was 21 years old at Hold Fast Tattoo on Lower Greenville Ave in Dallas, TX. I didn't get another tattoo until I was in my late 30's and now I have a good many more. I feel like it's held up pretty well but it's still pretty jarring to see what it looked like when it was fresh.
2 year Pokemon Line Art
It’s been almost exactly 2 years. The white highlights are practically non existent now, but it’s still super cute! I got it done in Greece on vacation
26 year old tattoos
Made these around 1999 until about 2000.
11 years old fine line shamrock
Tattooed in Sept 2015, Cambridge Harvard square Mass. It just occurred to me how old my little tattoo is and how it’s still looking good, especially because I don’t remember to sunscreen it often, but I am not out in the sun often either.
12 year-old blue rose tattoo with my budgie's tag number
6 years on the outer hands
The outer purple and darker blue like dropped out pretty quickly but overall I don’t think they’ve done bad for location.
First ink
Not the design I had in mind at all going in - didn’t have the stones to advocate for myself, and I spent a little time kind of resenting it. But this ink has become like a pair of worn jeans for me, broken in and comfortable.
It’s a great metaphor for being a Miami Dolphins fan. It’s kind of ugly and hurts.
*Edited - SORRY, it’s 4 years old!!
A couple days old vs about 2.5 yrs later
My second and favorite tattoo
3 years old healed small tattoo (vs new)
I still love it, i dont remember exactly the date i got it but its about 3 years healed, in size its about 7-9cm tall, so quite small for detail like that and i wish that younger me would have gotten it bigger, but hey, i dont have any regrets! When i age, Betty ages aswell and its beautiful 😁
