Come on now, be honest. 9 times out of 10 when you see two people with the same tattoo, one is always substantially better than the other. I believe this is a two parter though: the first is going to a crappy artist results in crappy artwork, the second is that in my experience 90% of the general population does not know how to take care of a tattoo at all, and what once looked good now looks like ass vomit
True that. I had a guy showing me his tattoo the other day and he was wondering how to keep it bright. I said "keep it out of the sun as much as possible and wear some 70+ if you have to." He said "that ain't going to happen". I said, "enjoy your faded tattoo".
