Default New Corvette Tattoo

Hi all, thought I'd post a picture of my new Corvette tattoo, done last night by Greg Ross, one of the guys at my shop. As both a corvettte enthusiast and tattoo artist, I figured it's only natural that I add one to my collection. It's on my upper left shoulder, one of the few places on that arm where I still have empty skin left.

It already has white in it. Being freshly done it still has some redness so the white is not as bright as it will be when fully healed.

White does stay if it's done right and taken care of.

What a lot of people don't understand is tattoo ink is just like paint on a car - it'll eventually fade over the years if you don't protect it (wax for cars, sunblock for tattoos) and keep it out of the sun as much as possible.

No matter what, WHITE is the fastest to fade, regardless of ink.
and yes, the sun is the #1 killer. I don't know no man to stop
and put on sun screen everytime he step's out in the sun.

Touche. Touche. Though most serious tattoo collectors I know do use sunblock religiously. But hey, if you happen to own a tattoo shop, touch ups are no problem, and free!
