I'm 67.I was getting my forearm tattooed three weeks ago.The artist said I have the worst skin he's tattooed in his twenty six years of tattooing.I told him I probably almost waited too long to get tattooed.He agreed,he said the skin gets thin in some places.But,he added guys my age with tattoos are going to be jealous of me because mine will look better than their old ones.
I had a tattoo for several years that I didn't like very much.It wasn't executed as well as I thought it should be.I decided to just get more great tattoos to diminish the attention the mediocre one got.Worked like a charm.
Your rose is not mediocre though.Its a great tattoo.
After tattooed,leave wrapped two three hours.Wash,hot water,soap.Air dry,re-wrap leave wrapped over night.In the morning,wash,air dry,put on aquafor.No wrap during the day,re-wrap two more nights.When it starts to peal get itchy,put on coconut oil.
