One of the most common questions that people with tattoos get is “What about when you get old?”—there is a general perception that tattoos would get stretched out on aging skin and look increasingly washed out with the passing years.
To answer this question, Reddit user clevknife has recently uploaded some pictures of tattooed seniors—in many of these, the tattoos look surprisingly sharp and vivid, making their wearers look much cooler than the average elderly person.
These images show that if one makes an effort to stay fit—and keep out of the sun to prevent the tattoos’ colors from washing out—tattoos can still look pretty great even in old age.
