I think that any tattoo has to be very personal. I have 5 tats, 2 tribal art ones on each upper arm but worked so they look like one per arm. These were done about 20 years a go and will soon(ish) be worked into a sleeve of Japanese influenced flower work. And a full back piece which is a snake that goes from the top of my shoulders to the top of my thighs. If you could uncoil it ( and no I am not going to try ) it would be about 8 foot long. This was done about 12 years a go and the colours are still bright and nothing has gone hazy. The snake took about 6 x 12 hour sessions, it was not much point in doing any less as you go through a pain barrier after a while .............so you may as well keep going. Cost well lets say expensive, but so worth it to me. The design was mine and drawn by Alex 4 times full scale before I agreed to it and even then the tail was re-drawn after it was drawn on my back as it did not "lay" right.
Will it bother me when I am in a nursing home in my 80's no, they can pin me to the wall and put a frame around it.....may as well dribble down the wall as in the corner.....))
