When Tattoos Age

[Traveller]

My mum was commenting about my most recent tattoo and how I would have to hide it in my 70's, I made the point Bathsheba did above. I will be 70 with a bunch of people who are currently 30, and none of them are likely to be phased by my tattoos. In fact most of them will have one, or have a close friend who does. Besides, I can't live my life worrying what my 70 year old self will think, I might not even make it that far.

old ladies today and their blue hair rinses...

On that topic - my hairdresser said that blue rinses happen because as you age and go grey your hair can eventually go yellow (eeek!) So to even out the yellow hairdressers put in a blue rinse to give the hair more a "grey" colour. The problem arises when old women try to do it at home and because their eyesight isn't very good and they do it in poorly lit bathrooms, they leave the rinse in too long or make it too dark so it goes "blue" instead of grey. So remember that when you're old, girls

Ahhh interesting about the blue! That makes sense. I'll keep it in mind... not long now I am quite looking forward to being totally white... but not the 'salt and pepper' in between!

Do you think the quality of tattoo's is different now days though???

Hehehe - only time the blurring is ever a bonus is when you have a new nipple tattooed on your reconstructed breast. Blurring is da bomb!

Good point MD! and even tattooed eyebrows... it would give that extra degree of naturalness to the look of it!
