    Hi all,

    I've been considering getting 2 tattoo's and their quite large(one ribcage and one lower back) I'm very excited about getting them, however I wonder what they will look like on me when I get older. Sure the tattoo will look good on skin that's still tight but how do tattoo's age along with you as you get older and your skin becomes less tight and starts to wrinkle?(because only heaven knows what my body will look like in 25 years) and I wonder/worry that it will ruin my tattoo at some point in life. I know this might sound a bit crazy to some people but I would love to know how your tattoo withstood the test of time.

    Thanks!

    If you're worried about how it will look in 20 years maybe tattoos aren't for you.

    If your skin is gonna look sh*tty and wrinkly anyway, why not make it interesting :D

    Yeah it probably will get a bit wrinkled, but sure why not enjoy it for the years you have it anyway!

    So what if it looks terrible in 25 years' time? No point living life by the 'what ifs' - enjoy it! :)
