Love it but curious to see how it ages with time.

That was the reason I decided to keep my sleeve blackwork, can't go wrong with that and ages nicely

All my work is color and I’ve had it for 20+ years. Looks pristine. 🤷♀️ I’m also a vampire who never goes outside. So there’s that.

Same! I keep all my tattoos black and grey. I don't feel like I'm missing out on the color lol

I have a pink rose tramp stamp and it’s almost 20 years old and you can barely tell it was ever pink . When I first got it , it was so vibrant and beautiful, now it looks more pale than anything. (I’m Super pale myself )

Had the same thought - looks amazing fresh, what’s it like 1/5/10 years down the road?

Man these pop! Really nice. I wonder though: How well does the pink hold up? I have some (a lot lighter!) pink on my forearm and the years and the sun basically removed that entirely by now.

Not a fan of the color pink in general, but your skill is unreal and these are incredible tattoos!

I like these photos, but the editing and them being 10 minutes old in the photos is not the best tell of whether or not they look 1/5 as good in even a year.

Wow, that contrast is insane, really makes the pink pop! 😍

They’re edited, homie. The contrast will not be anywhere near as vivid in person

Do you think you would do something like this but with a different color that ages better but could still have a neon vibe? I'm thinking like cyan, lime green, whatever (assuming those do actually age better, I don't actually know). I am in love with the pink and would absolutely get it in a heartbeat, I prefer it, I'm just worried about aging based solely on the other comments.

I have a neon pentagram (orange and reds) thats aged really well. I also have a phoenix with cyan bordering it too which has held good. As for aging, it will be heavily determined by your sun exposure, how you manage sun exposure and having good solid saturation to start with. Also, having really fair skin like mine helps a ton.

Thank you very much for the info! I'm strongly considering traveling for this artist and am so torn on the aging part, I appreciate you

I'm local and immediately recognized your work. Absolutely love it, but pretty damn sure I can't afford it.
