so I suppose you have alot of crusty faded tattoos then? Every tattoo shop I go in they are surprised that my 10 year old sleeves have perfect detail, despite that I spend every day in the sun. Learn something guy.
No, all my tattoos are nice and crisp because they're less than 15 years old and done all in black and gray. I see countless people with old tattoos that used to have nice, small details like the ones in question here, but are all blurry and smeared. The fact of the matter is that over time tattoos are going to fade and lose their sharpness and there's nothing that you can do about it. It has little to do with sun exposure and more to do with the way your skin ages.
have a look at any harley rider and tell me how the detail in their tattoos compare to guys that work in tattoo shops. people that like their ink take care of it. FACT: Sun=faded ink.
First of all, it's "people who like their ink..." Secondly, I wasn't talking about sun at all, I'm talking about the way that ink blends together over time due to aging.
haha.oooookay. What have you done with your life? Like, what are you? a tattooed "bike mechanic" thats goes on pinkbike and pretends to be hot shit? yeah...cool.
Ok there Mr."I use large words quite often in substitution for semantically equivalent words" I just dont think you should be talking so king shit to a rider who obviously knows his shit more than you do, considering you claim to have been a professional mechanic since 2001 yet have no pictures or anything of yourself riding. And the Tattoo thing, No, Maybe when your old and obese from sitting on your ass building bikes that you dont even ride , Your tats will look all crusty and nasty, But for people who know how to take care of themselves and there tats, theres will look prime throughout there life.
Whoa there, since when does being a mechanic require me to have pictures of me riding? Again with the interesting logic. I ride plenty, but the way my friends and I ride doesn't allow time to stop and pose for the camera. It's not a fashion show after all. Also talk about the pot calling the kettle black, you have no pictures of yourself riding either. How do I know you're not just a fat little kid talking trash from behind the safety of your computer?
"...who obviously knows his shit more than you do." I'm interested in where you get this theory. How is this obvious? Because to me it doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about. I speak from experience. 90% of the population of my current town has at least one visible tattoo. I have observed that, on older people, tattoos are faded and/or blown up due to age, especially the ones with bright colors (red, yellow, etc).
Look, you're only 18. Maybe in 8 years or so and after you get some ink to speak of you can talk shit.
