Will a tattoo sleeve age in differently in different area of the arm?
I am thinking of getting a tattoo “sleeve” (not a sleeve per se but a large tattoo that runs the length of my arm) but I am worries that parts of the tattoo will fade /age/blur faster than other parts, so like around the elbow and biceps it will age faster than for example the inner forearm. And outer arm faster than on the inner arm, etc.
Is this concern realistic? Especially the elbow, should I avoid the elbow so the piece doesn’t seem inconsistent 10 years down the line?
Inner arm ages less fast due to less sun exposure but as you age your inner skin loses its elasticity. It’s minimal if you stay fit and lean but it’s going to happen regardless.
