Beautiful tattoo, but it's not gonna age well. Small ink tends to bleed together over time.
Double exposure for the win - I love how the turets almost become a crown...
I hope that's henna otherwise I would hate to think of all the pain she endured only to have them fade away! Very cool anyway...
it's not cling film people, it's a special type of plaster made to stick to the skin, so the tattoo underneath can start healing without risk of anything getting into it. as a tattoo artist, I NEVER use antibiotic creams, just natural coco butter or simply vaseline... adding too much stuff isn't good for a tattoo, the best is to let your body heal up mostly by itself.
If I had the budget, I would love to do my back in this style, I love these!
I like the Statue of Liberty sticking out as the stem, this tattoo is very creative

Funny enough, none of the architects that I know have architecture-themed tattoos (that I know of!). I guess we get enough of it at work?
Anyone ever heard of retouching? It's a thing you know.
apparently not, but will happily give unnecessary opinions anyway
personally I wouldn't get tattoos because skin does get old and saggy and the tatt would get destroyed
Yeah, some of the fine lines will not fare well at all.
My body has changed so much, nothing Would be identifiable now
So what if they won't be exactly the same? A bit of sagging and wrinkling of skin tissue won't alter them very much, and the person who had them done will derive happiness from their tattoos at any age.
That;s why you don't get one and people that don't care about that stuff, do
