    didnt for me

    whole sleeve, shoulder blade 2 shoulder balde, half sleeve on the other arm.... cardio didnt hurt mine... just dont wipe it or spray water on it directly is my suggestion.

    Nope, it will just look bad, sag and overall like crap when you are 60+ but luckily it will probably be easier to get them removed than it is now. Tattoo removal is a big business and I think if I was starting a business it would be a profitable one.

    Trust me because 30-35 took all over about 1 1/2 yrs it seems. Yes it really does start to go by FAST. All it takes is one or two weird complications that end up taking a year or two to resolve and all of the sudden 5 or 10 years have passed.

    When I was mid 20s I though OMG I have so much time to do this and that but Im not going to wait, I'm going to get it done soon.... Then this or that happened, this or that caused delay and all of the sudden I was in my 40s..... WTF happened? That's why Im not waiting around anymore or I will be 70 next....

    i hear bro, every word your saying i hear it all.

    that is actually my biggest fear, time passing by so fast and not achieving anything or getting somewhere in my life.

    just cause i tie myself down to a situation or a certain something where i just keep waiting.

    then you end up waiting for years, then before you know it......you have some regret.

    ahhhhhhh life .

    have you ever seen a 70 year old man without a tattoo that looked good?

    Also keep in mind the needles and inks are better today than they were 70 years ago.


    The only think I will say is never go out without sunblock, or a shirt on, sun light damages the color, and your skin ruining the detail and contrast.

    Stay at least 5 days without sweating profusely, that means no Lifting or cardio.

    Would being free of tattoos make that guy look any better with his shirt off?

    I like the Japanese art work also- but I may be biased since I'm half Japanese.

    I would recommend this: wear sunscreen on the tat when exposed to the sunlight. That's something that can affect the quality.
