Tattoos for family or loved ones, I can understand. And I don't really have problems with tattoos on places that are easily covered; that way you can avoid the stigma easily. But then you get...



...that, or something similar.

that goes to show that people have different ideas of what looks fantastic.

I never understood the desire of getting full body tattoos.
I am not into full tattoo's or tattoo's that are on hands, face, neck - but that women here shown in picture does look amazing for 100 years old, she looks fit, young, healthy, amazing really :)

I have to agree that she looks pretty awesome for 100 !

Some societies, of course, regard tats as entirely admirable - such as the Maori Ta moko (not exactly the same as tats, but pretty much the same effect). I wonder if she is from a culture that regards tats in that way.

I suspect however, stripped of her obvious ethnicity, were she walking down an average British High Street on a hot Summer day she would be the object of curiosity and some degree of derision.

I have two small tats, neither visible in ordinary Summer clothing, both 40 years old, lol. Terribly unfashionable and unacceptable back then. But they having meaning for me, which is why I can choose who sees them. I can't say I'm a fan of obvious tats.

Whang-od Oggay is considered as the last mambabatok (traditional Kalinga tattooist) from the Butbut people in Buscalan Kalinga and the oldest tattoo artist in the Philippines. Her tattoo ink is composed of the mixture of charcoal and water that will be tapped into the skin through a thorn end of a calamansi or pomelo tree. She was tattooed when she was a teenager. Each of her arms took one day to be finished and her family paid bundles of rice for it. When her tattoo was completed her father killed a pig to celebrate it. This ancient technique of tattoing is called batok that dates back a thousand years before her time is relatively painful compared to other conventional techniques.

They are both in areas that would rarely see the sun, and both where the flesh is not particularly prone to ageing, sagging, wrinkling etc.

Even so - the black one is faded to mid-grey, although it is still clear what it is. The (single colour) coloured one has also faded substantially, the black outline is blurred and it is not clear at a glance what it is supposed to be.

I suspect any young person having complicated designs with multiple colours will end up in 40 years with a blurred mish-mash blue-ish mess, much as the old time sailors did.

Less is more. But hey! Their skin, their life. Old people are stupid and past it and don't know anything.

what tools did the artist use for yours? both the ink and tattoo machines have improved significantly over the last several decades

while modern tattoos will still fade, they hold up much better. there is a huge difference between your cellmate using a single needle and ink from a sharpie, to a reputable artist using modern tattoo machines and a hygienic shop. (im not trying to imply you got yours in prison lol. but even top of the line equipment from 40 years ago doesnt compare to modern tools)

the tattoo industry has learned so much from the past sailors and bikers Old School

No idea what equipment/inks were used on me 40 odd years ago. Whatever was standard kit for a tat parlour at the time !

Of course things 'have moved on', things always move on. However, a tat still remains as it always was; the injection of a dye into a specific layer of the skin.

The dyes may remain vibrant for longer these days.

Skin hasn't moved on, it will always age and tats will always blur eventually because of it.
