The artwork is incredible, for sure, but how does something like this hold up over time? Is that going to look like a big fuzzy blob in 25-30 years?

Interestingly, Riffard never considered tattooing as a career path. He has been drawing and painting since he was a child, but never professionally until a friend handed him a tattoo gun and sparked his career as a tattoo artist. Now, Riffard is considered as one of the world’s most gifted tattoo artists, drawing people from all over the world.

Surely not everyone would sign up for such a tattoo as creating these works of art can be quite a challenge, both in terms of the artistic process and the physical endurance required. Would you be brave enough to get one of these?

I can't imagine how long this takes. You'd think with how rich it is the skin would protest that much packing in the saturation, but it all looks amazing and perfect. The void of the black actually feels like the depth of an abyss. I feel like I could run my hand over the skull and scales and feel the texture. The subtle play of light gives such a boost of contrast. This truly is a masterpiece. I could get lost in this one.

That artwork is absolutely incredible. The depth, colors, saturation and shadowing is just outstanding. I'm just very curious to see how time treats it.

I can't imagine some of the reactions this one may get, like at a doctor's office if you have to take your shirt off or something. I can picture kids flipping out at the beach if they saw this and all the moms clutching their pearls.

It looks so, so good. It's practically a photo on one's skin.

If both are the same artist, is the thigh older and the black has faded a bit? Still looks great.
