It would be irrelevant unless they are still tattooing now with modern, current inks/machines/styles/etc because their old experience is completely obsolete and pretty worthless for modern times. Sure, they can give some basic general advice, but for most of the stuff it would be irrelevant. It's a lot like baby boomers giving young people advice today. Almost anything they could say as advice is entirely worthless because nothing today works similarly to how it did when they were doing it. Being older and having experience doesn't mean that the experience is still useful when times have changed so much.

I've always thought the argument of oh "that'll look like shit in 20 30 years" is a dumb argument. That literally applies to everything. Your body changes over time no matter how well it's done it'll look different and fade at the end of the day it's ink in the skin, some of it will break down over time. Literally anything you get will be different in 30 years, a car, home, couch, phone. All of those when you get them new are relevant to the time and wear down and trends will have changed. But that's life. I would also argue that most older people don't care what it looks like 3 decades later because its about the story and its expected to be faded

Ok so now that I'm 45 i'm basically getting all my tattoos I got at age 18-20 either covered up or reworked. The lines are really faded and breaking up, the lighter colors(whites, yellows)are all gone while the darker colors (reds, greens, blues) are still there but really light. Nothing in life is the same after 30 years. The funny part is thinking you'll actually be into the tattoos you got at a young age when you're older. I've only kept a small portion of my teenage tattoos reworked while covering most of them up now. Not because the artist did a bad job originally but because I just wasn't into the subject matter that much anymore. The things you find cool at 19 you probably won't be so hardcore into at 43.

It is different for every person, but if I tattoo something on myself, then it means that this thing has a huge impact on me and changed my life, my mindset, etc. So even if I won't be into it 30 years later, the impact won't go away, because this thing already changed me and to a certain extent shaped me as a person. That's why I think I will not regret any of my tattoos (that are done professionally), because the story and meaning behind them will forever be a part of me and my life.

I would love to see an episode about tattooing on dark skin

“My tattoo isn’t blown out, it just has patina”

I got my first tattoo at 56 so when people ask me what it will look like in 30 years - don't care because either I won't remember I have them or will have shuffled off this mortal coil. I didn't get my tattoos - still getting them - to please others - I got them for me and for things that had deep meaning in my life. You reach a point in your life where you learn to ignore the detractors and live for yourself.

Gen Z like if the system dont change the world really wont make to to thirty years because we will burn this shit down.

It has to do with the style for sure. That’s why american traditional and japanese traditional uses such saturated colours and can last longer. But it has to do with the colours you use as well, reds and yellows will not last as long, fade out faster especially if exposed to too much sunlight. Darker colours like the blacks or dark blues/dark greens obviously last longer

Personally I really love how old blurred tattoos look!! The more abstract the better. I also really enjoy tattoos layered over tattoos. :)

Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! I have several tattoos that are 20+ years old and still look great due to consistent sunscreen use.

I have been wondering this for ages! Fine line and mini-realism are so big atm and I'd love to get one but don't want a blob on my body in 10 years but at the same time tool quality has improved so much so who knows

These recent episodes have been fantastic. Keep up the great work!

" It took me twenty six years to appreciate the flaws in the tattoo " Now that's some great words 💯 ❤

I’ve got inked by Steven Butcher about 7 years ago, my piece still looks fresh. You can see every detail perfectly. I have lots of old school and new school pieces and to be honest, the lines and colours in my old school pieces blow out and fade. My new school pieces all stay solid. 🤷🏽

That baby was so precious and adorable and he just sitting there with his father enjoying the people watching

I never knew some of my grandpa's tattoo's had color until I saw a pic of him with one of his ex wives from like 30 years ago. He has a wolf tattoo that was black and gray and it is just a blob of black now haha

I’m pretty young (19), and I was worried about the aging of my tattoos since they’ll be on me a decade or so longer than a lot of other people’s stuff. But I try and make good decisions in the design and the aftercare so they last as long as possible. But I can’t wait to watch my stuff age and settle, because old tattoos look awesome!

Aged tattoos are like craculure in painting. It certainly changes, but those changes become apart of the art.

Jesus, Andy’s chest piece is amazing - actually looks like a photo of a statue

Bold will hold and black can stay black. My extensive coverage is a mix of Polynesian tribal and black & grey, all completed when I was 40-43. I am now 66. I knew color would fade so I went black. I think it depends on the artist's skill (and my choice to not use color). My tribal leg tattoos are solid black and have never even been touched up. My realistic sea turtle still looks awesome. On the other hand I have a 6" Japanese koi that was outlined by a different artist that has mushed out a lot. I am convinced that artist skill in finding the right layer in the skin is critical to longevity, and avoiding sun.

I'm glad I'm postponing my future tattoo as long as I can. I want a big and quality piece done in other country with a serious tattoo tradition, so while I'm saving for that, hopefully the tattoo industry will have better inks and better technology.

I got my first tattoo when I was 18, I'm 38 this year and that shit still looks great. Well, it never really looked great but as good as it was ever gonna 😂 heavy lines, bold colours

I've got tattoos that are decades old. They don't look new, but they still have solid detail.

Nikko always dropping knowledge likes he's in a garage with a lambo that he likes driving through the hills

3:04 sorry to say but this dude does not give a shit how your tattoo is gonna heal. He just does it for his portfolio. Micro tattoos are never a good idea, it’s never gonna heal well, it’ll look like a blob in 4-5 years, forget 10.

But that person gets a tattoo they love for 4-5 years. I think that point is undervalued in this video.

Miss B well if that makes you satisfied for less than 5 years then that’s great. I’m just giving people a heads up because many people who want that tattoo are gonna be misled into believing that it will last, and then later on get mad at their tattoo artist lol.

If I’m paying that much money and endure that much pain, I’m gonna want that to last longer than the shelf life of a cheap Walmart microwave

I love the guy playing with the dog 🐶

Guy at 1:43 has amazing work on his body

andy pho’s chest tattoo IS SO FREAKING COOL

That insert of Rachel took me OWT 😆😆😆

The cap guy is right. No matter what my tattoos look like in 30 years, I will still love them fully for their meaning and the memories.

This is why I stick with traditional tattoos or go to artists with a traditional background.

The lil doggo tho😩❤❤

need to get one of them pony microportraits

I totally agree that aged tattoos look dope, my dad's covered and his are older I don't think he's gotten a touch up on any of them in probably 15 20 years but they still look good

Where's Kelly?!?!?!??

1:11 "period" lmao

Thank for tips just got chest piece not my first one but reminders are all good

I think most people are aware that their tattoos will age and not look like they do on day one forever... I think the issue is when a tattoo isn't even going to be recognizable after a few years. If the client is cool with that, great! But they need to be informed and the artist has a responsibility to discuss longevity with their clients IMO.

Nothing lasts for ever, nothing is ever perfect, nothing is ever finished.

I have a watercolor tattoo with a black outline, in 30 years it may just be the outline with a little purple that looks like bruising- and I’m fine with that, if I want it to look better, I’ll just get a touch-up, it isn’t really a big deal to me

Andy Pho's tattoos are next level SIIIICKK

You can usually look at a tattoo and know if it will hold by the outlining and saturation. The person's skin and how they take care of it also matters a lot. Sunscreen!!!

Plz do more of this
