One of my tattoo ideas is pretty detailed. Lots of fur, lots of colour, lots of shading. If it's done by a reasonable artist, how likely is it that the design will blur later on, and how much is it likely to blur by?

(The idea, is two cats on a wall in twilight. There'll be lots of colour in the wall and the sky, and lots of fur detail over the cats.)

In this day and age the pigment of the dye is so much better than it use to be and so therefore I believe it should age better than had it been with the old kind of inks. But talk to your artist about it and if he/she doesn't seem to really have knowledge of it then perhaps the owner of the shop will. If they all seem dense to knowing anything, I'd see about finding a new artist. A great artist just doesn't do great work, he/she knows what will and won't work for a tattoo in the long run and they will share that info with their clients. Also remember location has alot to do with aging effects too and if it's in a place that is exposed to the sun remember to keep lots of sunblock on it. Hope this helps. Best wishes on your new ink. Hope you will post pics here in the guild of it when it is done. smile

Oh, there will definitely be pictures - don't worry. I just need to work up the nerve and the money and the excessive I-want-THIS-shade-of-colour-in-the-sky-and-THIS-pose-for-Artemis-and-THIS-expression-for-Maya stick-figure cats and ID pictures and colour-swatches - oh, and an artist who won't do this to me for being so fussy and nitpicky, lol.

Once I've got everything together, I'll likely take it all in, explain what I want, and then ask if that's possible, and if they're confident that they can draw it out the way I want it to be done. Unfortunately this will take several more months.
