tattoo question

**collar** · 11-10-2009, 05:46 PM

Im getting my back done.

My question is when im doing cardio and i sweat alot would it effect the tattoo in any way??

so would sweat cause any problem to the tattoo?

thanks.

**jg2** · 11-10-2009, 05:56 PM

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.

**PC650** · 11-10-2009, 05:57 PM

nope

**collar** · 11-10-2009, 05:58 PM

japanese bro.
got my first 3 hours done last week and will continue so every fornight 3 hours.

will take ruffly about 30 hours estimated maybe little more.

its dragon,flowers,cherry blossoms and seen if im able to add a samurai.

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.

**collar** · 11-10-2009, 08:00 PM

LOL...........
i wont be removing mine

.

**CHUCKYthentic** · 11-10-2009, 08:40 PM

That's what they all say.

Have you ever seen a Tatto on a 70 yr old man or woman that looked GOOD? I haven't.

black and grey, then probably one colour in there to make the dragon really come up and stand out.

yeah i love japanese work man, its the cleanest and very neat.

Hahahaha you will be surprised how fast that comes up. I use to thing OMG if I make it to 50 that is forever... OK 3 more years is forever and now I'm thinking I'm only 1/2 way there. Hmmmmm

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....

**collar** · 11-10-2009, 09:46 PM

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 .

**thetank** · 11-10-2009, 11:20 PM

hey man im a professional tattoo artist and can tell you, you're fine. just make sure you keep it clean and dont let it soak or get direct sunlight. you should post pictures of the work!

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.

**jbm** · 11-10-2009, 11:36 PM

where is the tattoo?

pics pics pics

**drdeath613** · 11-11-2009, 11:26 AM

first off dsm omg that tattoo needs to be banned for ever being showed again lol jp funny as hell

second u cant compare 50 year old tattoos and how they were done and the inks that were use to todays tattoos and inks and how there done iv seen tattoos 20 year old still looking like new no fading or bleeding of colors

thats like comparing a 10 year old computer to todays computer

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

**collar** · 11-11-2009, 04:13 PM

we will see what we might go with.

should be good...im personally not a fan of colour...my bros got a huge tattoo of a chinese dragon and a gaisha....it looks excellent..in colour...BUT its all about the detail and shading for me...

**collar** · 11-12-2009, 01:56 PM

yeah i got what you mean, im the same.
i like the detail in the work, the more detail the better for me.

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.
