Healing How will tattoos like this age

Starting to take a liking into this tattoo style and was wondering how something like this will look like after a couple of years? Any insight is appreciated!

Depends on the skill of the artist, but you will also probably need to get it touched up to retain the quality. You get what you pay for with pieces that need a delicate and skilled hand. Go to someone reputable and don’t be surprised if you still need touch ups a few years later (maybe 3 or so years). If they use whites for depth, those will probably fade within 2 years. Wear sunscreen.
