That contrast/dissonance between what one might call "age-appropriate", practical clothes and the wild tattoos is fantastic. ♥️
Vaguely related thought, because I know nothing about tattoos (I'm a scaredycat) but someone who does might show up here: Since skin tends to become more fragile and sensitive with age, is there any higher risk involved in getting a tattoo at this age? Any difference in how they need to be treated?
I believe you would have a higher chance of blowing out, so a more gentle hand would be needed. I would assume aftercare treatment would be the same minus healing a bit slower.
