Chinese watercolour tattoos



I see a lot of these intricate tattoos and often wonder how well they will age. Over time details fade and they could be left with what appears to be just a large splurge of unrecognisable colour.

Surely the more traditional thick lines with bold colours would be the best to get.

Having said that, I guess when you’re old the least of your worries will be a shit tattoo.
I have tattoos myself. That said, I knew a lad in the army who had a tigers head in the centre of his chest and another lad with an eagle in pretty much the same place. Fine when you’re young but those lads will be in their mid to late fifties now and I wonder how well the artwork has aged. The tigers head looked stupid back then anyway and the eagle may well have morphed into an anorexic budgie by now.
