TATTOO DURABILITY & LONGEVITY
Many tattoos look spectacular when freshly done – soft, extremely detailed, and perfectly lit for photos. But true quality doesn't reveal itself on the first day, but after years.
Skin is not paper. It changes, pigments are active, lines shift. What impresses today may lose its clarity tomorrow.
On this page I explain why long-lasting tattoos are not created through micro-detailing, but through conscious contrasts, reduced tonal values and a technique that takes skin aging into account from the very beginning.
My goal is to design tattoos that not only look good today, but will still be powerful, legible and aesthetically pleasing after 10, 20 or more years.
