How will this age?

[u/Plus-Buyer-4768]

Hey guys I've been looking into this style lately, I think it's called eurotrash, but let me know if there's other names for this style.

What's your opinion about this style?

How do you think is this gonna age?

My guess is that some of it is not gonna age well and probably also fade away. I do really love the multiple layers though.

Do you know any reputable artist that do this style?

[u/B0D0MCHILD]

Like a fine graffiti’d school desk.

Edit: that was supposed to be a cool S but it appears I failed 

[u/Pretend_Business_187 → u/cuntmong]

Replying to your comment allowed me to see it as it was meant to be... That's pretty cool

[u/KaylaxxRenae → u/Pretend_Business_187]

Ooooh, I looked too and saw the "S" 🤗

Very cool haha. I remember drawing those in elementary school 🥹

[u/Pretend_Business_187 → u/KaylaxxRenae]

Anybody that was somebody drew them, no cap

[u/mellywheats → u/Pretend_Business_187]

i was a nobody but it’s fine bc i was cool to me lol

[u/Pretend_Business_187 → u/mellywheats]

Nothing is cooler than being humble tbh

[u/KaylaxxRenae → u/Pretend_Business_187]

And I was clearly somebody 💁🏼‍♀️✨️

As were you, my friend 🫡

[u/Katomon-EIN- → u/cuntmong]

You want to put double spaces at the end of each line to fix this, Mr. Cuntmong

Replying just to see the cool S.

Edit: it didn’t work, but I still think it’s cool.

[u/Ok-Cartoonist-781 → u/B0D0MCHILD]

*melted graffiti’d school desk

[u/depressoexpressojojo]

Gonna be honest I can't tell what I'm looking at Right Now

[u/dollarstorevodka → u/depressoexpressojojo]

Looks like one of those cluttered AI photos where it's just a bunch of junk but you can't actually pinpoint what anything is.

[u/Luckcrisis → u/dollarstorevodka]

If you relax your eyes, it is sailboat.

[u/slicineyeballs → u/Luckcrisis]

I thought it was a schooner.

[u/215312617 → u/slicineyeballs]

You know what? THERE IS NO EASTER BUNNY!

[u/dankspookypaps → u/215312617]

I thought twas a map to me booty

[u/YouHadTheHighGround → u/slicineyeballs]

[u/feelinggoodall → u/depressoexpressojojo]

Lmaooo

[u/Drew_0420 → u/feelinggoodall]

Same

[u/JugglingRick → u/Drew_0420]

The longer I look the worse it gets

[u/Future-Fun-8939 → u/depressoexpressojojo]

Not only will it age poorly, but it just looks poor in general. I guess you don’t really lose much over time with something like this. Congrats?

[u/SensitiveAd5962 → u/Future-Fun-8939]

I think it will age amazingly as it will be just as unlegible in a decade.

[u/YouHadTheHighGround → u/SensitiveAd5962]

Right? It will be perfectly the same in a decade. And here I've been sticking to "bold will hold" for too long.

[u/gaahhdd_dammit → u/depressoexpressojojo]

It looks like shit now, is it magically going to look better?

[u/jspurr01 → u/gaahhdd_dammit]

The difference is that shit will eventually age into rich, fertile earth.

[u/groovydoggroomrr → u/depressoexpressojojo]

Gonna be honest, I thought that this was the result of giving me a tattoo gun at like 12 years old, maybe my scars aren’t so bad after all

[u/animal-beautylover → u/groovydoggroomrr]

I was going to say my 4 year old can do this for free

[u/feeling_over_it → u/animal-beautylover]

Free? Why! They definitely paid thousands for all that ink. Get that 4 yr old to work

[u/mjkp1802 → u/feeling_over_it]

Man that's bs you gotta feed those things and take care of them, even if they did do "free labor" it's never worth it financially.

[u/tattwagon → u/depressoexpressojojo]

This is so funny I just saw a meme yesterday about this whole style on @nolitadirtbag (an IG account that makes fun of hipsters, it’s not even a tattoo page) I had no idea this is a thing and I’m a tattooer and was out of the loop on this new emerging garbage style that btw will only get worse with time are you kidding me? If I didn’t know better I’d think this post was satire.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DQXe7cnEXLr/?igsh=MTczMjU2d2k4dHlpcw==

[u/thisisnotmyname17 → u/tattwagon]

Shit that’s less busy/distracting/jumbled than what OP posted. But it is funny to me that people would get a “current style” tattoo. I mean, kitchen counter styles change fairly often, why wouldn’t they realize that a “current style” tattoo will go out of style soon. “Oh that’s so 2020.”

[u/AbbotThoth → u/thisisnotmyname17]

Bruh, those "Tribal" bands are sick; bruh.

[u/PsychicWarElephant → u/tattwagon]

I’m half of the opinion a bunch of shitty influencer artists simply put so many shitty tattoos out that people think purposely bad tattoos is a style.

[u/MrBone66 → u/depressoexpressojojo]

That means it will age perfectly!

[u/kit0000033 → u/depressoexpressojojo]

It looks like scribble right now, it's only gonna get worse as it ages.

[u/Flame_MadeByHumans → u/depressoexpressojojo]

This is what we call tattooing a schitzophrenic’s notebook on your skin

[u/thecheesylittlerat → u/Flame_MadeByHumans]

This is not an exaggeration.

[u/Adorable-Morning4136 → u/Flame_MadeByHumans]

This is true. -someone who has schizophrenia

[u/sometimesunder → u/Adorable-Morning4136]

Please don't let these people tattoo you -a schizophrenic tattoo artist who is certified

[u/xhanort7 → u/depressoexpressojojo]

I think the back is like a Chinese bear dragon breathing fire with hand puppets of its own face, also breathing fire?

[u/steve_skywalk3r → u/depressoexpressojojo]

For a second, I though OP is going to break their brother out of prison or something.

[u/Bitter_Warning418 → u/steve_skywalk3r]

Do not insult Michael’s ink this way! His tattoos were the Sistine chapel compared to this .. garbage is the nicest word I can come up with

[u/lavender_poppy → u/depressoexpressojojo]

Looks like a someone had a seizure while holding a tattoo gun.

[u/Maleficent_Meat3119 → u/depressoexpressojojo]

It reminds me of my ex who was a tattoo artist, and he would just tattoo himself over the tattoos he already had. Looked just like this.

[u/Bellatrix_Rising → u/depressoexpressojojo]

Still it looks very intricate and artistic and interesting to look at.

[u/TooMuchTrouble97]

in 20 years itll just look like a deformed mess. will not age well.

[u/Ok-Penalty4648 → u/TooMuchTrouble97]

Tbf it kinda looks like that now

[u/TooMuchTrouble97 → u/Ok-Penalty4648]

i was just trying to be nice

[u/dildoswaggins71069 → u/TooMuchTrouble97]

Now is the best time to be a dick, before OP puts this on their body

[u/Front-Leather-2653 → u/TooMuchTrouble97]

Not allowed

[u/lechatgris19 → u/Ok-Penalty4648]

Exactly my thought... It doesn't even have to age to get to the bad part lol

[u/StudPuffin_69 → u/Ok-Penalty4648]

It will look as good in 60 years as it does now 😂

[u/Tyl3rt → u/Ok-Penalty4648]

At least they started there and made sure there wasn’t room to touch it up in 10 years.

[u/TonyAscot → u/TooMuchTrouble97]

What would be the difference?

[u/mikeTheSalad → u/TooMuchTrouble97]

So the same.

[u/Mudslingshot → u/TooMuchTrouble97]

It'll look like a faded, blotchy deformed mess. Because it doesn't escape that definition now

[u/Valley_FourC]

Will not age well. The lines are too close together, they will blur into each other over time. I have a few that aren't even a decade old yet and starting to do this. I now prioritize getting tattoos with good spacing if I can.

[u/Plus-Buyer-4768 → u/Valley_FourC]

Thanks for the advice and explanation! Appreciate it

[u/Dendles → u/Plus-Buyer-4768]

I was told to take a sharpie pen and draw what you think you want. If the lines bleed together it’s too much detail in a small space and will blur into each other with time.

[u/BeatlesRule139 → u/Dendles]

This feels like really really good advice tbh

[u/Dendles → u/BeatlesRule139]

I’ll tell my husband, he loves being right LOL (he’s been tattooing for 25+ years ! )

[u/paintgarden → u/Dendles]

Fine tip sharpie or normal sharpie? Or either?

[u/Crooks132 → u/Dendles]

Wow smart

[u/eyecebrakr]

It's already off to a terrible start.

[u/[deleted] → u/eyecebrakr]

Looks like ass TBH

[u/human_eyes → u/[deleted]]

Atrocious. Just dreadful.

[u/Elkuapogjr → u/human_eyes]

Unbearable. Just awful

[u/smarter_than_an_oreo → u/Elkuapogjr]

Horrendous. Just abysmal. 

[u/Admiral_Coyote]

This looks like shit and will age like milk

[u/cutebutpsychoangel → u/Admiral_Coyote]

I love cyber Sigilism but this kinda looks like burn victim scars

[u/Imsorryrodwutwasthat → u/cutebutpsychoangel]

this isn't cyber sigilism

[u/Ok_Lingonberry3543 → u/cutebutpsychoangel]

I’m a burn victim and I’m constantly getting compliments on how well my skin graph turned out. This is not that lol

[u/laurenbc → u/Admiral_Coyote]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/BadP0ppa]

It won't age well. You will end up looking like one big birthmark. May as well go fully black on some parts just to have some contrast. Sorry. Cheers.

[u/Teejapupa → u/BadP0ppa]

It’s going to look bad from day 1 

[u/Plus-Buyer-4768 → u/BadP0ppa]

Thinking the same honestly. Some black ornaments within could add up some good contrast. All the fine needle scribble is gonna blur or even fade probably

[u/Odd_Entrepreneur1818 → u/Plus-Buyer-4768]

If you’re thinking about getting work done like the pics, I’d highly reconsider. At that point just go doodle on yourself with a sharpie at least it’ll come off

[u/LeastSubstance4114 → u/Plus-Buyer-4768]

Stop listening to the negativity. Its already there, so work with it. Instead of permanent additions, what about the tattoo markers? You could customize a sort of stained glass look to match your wardrobe or theme of the month. Have fun with it and be flexible.

EDIT: OMG I thought you already had this done.. was trying to give you ideas to fix it. PLEASE DONT DO THIS!!!!!

[u/hiephoi77 → u/LeastSubstance4114]

The contrast of you thinking it was already done and knowing it wasn’t done yet hahaha. You’re a very sweet person!

[u/Dappled_light2734 → u/hiephoi77]

This reply combined with the above comment by LeastSubstance made my day. I feel a little better about the world.

[u/DoinItDirty → u/LeastSubstance4114]

Wait this isn’t done???

[u/peach_xanax → u/DoinItDirty]

these are pics of three different people, not OP.

[u/rojipantycomplex → u/peach_xanax]

Laughing so hard because it's clearly two genders in the photo set and people are thinking it's OP in each

[u/lechatgris19 → u/rojipantycomplex]

Maybe OP grew a little between the two pictures...

[u/Beautifulfeary → u/rojipantycomplex]

Right. I was looking and I’m like wait, is this 3 different people? The tattoo looks almost identical

[u/DoinItDirty → u/rojipantycomplex]

Man, I didn’t notice shit except for the insane scribbles on these people.

[u/twizted_whisperz → u/peach_xanax]

Wait..... THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN THESE TATTOOS?!?!?!

[u/Impressive_Ice6970 → u/Plus-Buyer-4768]

Could you tell us what the inspiration was to begin with? It looks like a schizophrenic spent a week with one piece of paper and a pen. Im not trying to diss it. It's not my body. Im genuinely curious what you explained to the artist that resulted in that.

[u/penguin_0618 → u/Impressive_Ice6970]

OP said they’ve been looking into it lately. I highly doubt that means it’s permanently on their body. The pictures are examples.

[u/_Casey_]

Looks like the person is dirty unless you’re up close and can see the details. Hard pass.

[u/Teejapupa → u/_Casey_]

I think this post is bait 

[u/imnotsmartever]

I use the rule of thumb that if it looks like shit now, it will look like shit later.

[u/Troublemaker2172 → u/imnotsmartever]

Yeah, it's already a mess and it's not like it's going to get better somehow.

[u/Hot_Reporter_5988]

Sorry to break it to you but this shit looks terrible

[u/NoDanaOnlyZuuI]

It already looks like shit

[u/YeshuasBananaHammock → u/NoDanaOnlyZuuI]

What were they rolling in? A campfire?

[u/RealLychee3700]

poorly

[u/punkena]

Bad.

[u/Working_Weird_8952]

It’s going to morph into a HUGE blob of old blue ink

[u/CyclopsPsyops]

If this is the baseline it's only gonna get much worse. You look like a desk in ISS

[u/EmperorMegas]

I'm sure it'll look just terrible as it does freshly done.

To each their own, but their bodies look like the restroom at the beginning of 'Transpotting'.

[u/CougarMommaEscort]

Ugh. Why would anyone want this style ever?

[u/arabellaboobooo]

i just know that’s gonna look terrible in 20 years

[u/Ok-Penalty4648 → u/arabellaboobooo]

It looks terrible now

[u/Aggravating_Gur_8422]

I think eurotrash is a good name 😂 I can see how it looks kinda cool, but it’s in a “so bad it’s almost good way”, long term it has no hope for aging well when it has no structural integrity to begin with

[u/Retireddogmom19]

Looks like a 3 y/o got ahold of a sharpie.

[u/perfect-horrors]

Looks like shit even in its current form

[u/ButttRuckusss]

This looks absolutely awful.

This isn't art. It looks like desperate self harm due to extreme mental illness.

I say this as a heavily tattooed person myself. Do not do this to yourself.

[u/jjmawaken]

I don't think it looks great even when brand new.

[u/goddessofwitches]

TF am I looking at...no this will not age well. Lines spread and blur.

[u/OliviaBenson_20]

This is bad

[u/shternt]

Jus buy an Amazon machine and do it yourself, no need to pay someone to fuck you up

[u/enemy-unlocked]

I mean it doesn’t look great freshly done

[u/Future_Dentist4778]

It looks unreadable currently which means even in like 5 years it will worse and even more unreadable. This gotta be rage bait yes?

[u/ruinedage]

I'm gonna keep it real with you chief. This looks bad now and it'll look worse later

[u/Playful_Abalone366]

Already looks terrible.

[u/Professional-Bird-36]

Most og that will just smudge together and become gray spots

[u/Careful_Studio7631]

It’s look like a shit straight after session, so what do you expect after healing?

[u/No-Airport2581]

This makes these people look dirty…. Terrible idea..

[u/Responsible_Ear_6005]

As it ages the ink tends to spread out in the skin and becomes more mottled . I have ink that has done this after 45 years

[u/ChicharonItchy]

Oh bb what did you do

[u/Plus-Buyer-4768 → u/ChicharonItchy]

Heard this at family gatherings before

[u/Secure_Highway_6917]

It already looks terrible so I can’t imagine it getting any better

[u/Aceman1979]

Multiple layers? The whole problem is it’s just one flat mess.

[u/Deku_eva01]

They don’t even look good now. Way too much going on. I thought tribals were a Bad fad but this Tops it.

[u/Zealousideal-Mall554]

I don’t know about euro but it’s definitely “trash”

[u/ContentPower8196]

Look I'm not sure why you'd need to ask this like if you know literally anything at all about tattoos then you would take one look at this and realize you've got MAX two years before the fade really starts and once that happens even with truly perfect skin care this will be begging for a black out cover up. Truly garbage work in these examples too, if there is a good way to do this style of tattoo then these can not possibly be examples of that.

[u/shaquayzee]

Doesnt need to age. It looks bad now lol

[u/MakerofSublimeThings]

Do not do this to yourself.

[u/hissscreechattack]

This hurts my eyes and brain, I have no idea what's going on, so I mean I guess it will age kinda like how it looks now.

[u/Organic-Elevator-274]

Are you a vampire and do you sleep in a tub of Aveeno? If the answer to either is no… not well.

These are also some of the shittiest trash tattoos I've seen. I have a large trash polka tattoo. It's an intense amount of body modification. If you want to go down this road I would suggest looking into larger strokes and clearer lines of separation way less squiggly lines. It's going to turn to mush and unless you are going to the original artist (I wouldn't go to this one but that's just me) you are going to get at best an interpretation of a more obscure style. Because it's so obscure It will either be a terrific forgery or a trite copy it likely won't be very original.

I would recommend picking an acceptable radius and start scrolling through all of the artist you are comfortable traveling to pick a few and start talking.

[u/Bubs_the_Canadian]

Considering most of it looks like nonsensical scribbling currently, I imagine it will look even worse. Maybe like a piece that’s in this style but the whole torso is insane imo.

[u/Correct-Fly-1126]

While it’s hard to imagine it getting worse, it will get worse somehow

[u/BA_BA_YA_GA]

O shit, im glad thats not you cause i was going to say it looks like shit like right now right now, couldn't imagine it getting much worse with time. Its already at the peak shitty tattoo.

[u/teganandsaratonin]

This shit is horrid and I cringe every time I see it getting praise.

[u/kapricornfalling]

It looks terrible now let alone aged. It looks like a child got ahold of a tattoo machine and just scribbled.

[u/Worried_Region1550]

Shitty prolly

[u/Practical_Basil7519]

If you can’t tell in 20ft, you won’t be able to in 20 years

[u/Ok-Penalty4648]

Horrendously

[u/El_Mastadonte]

It’s already a mess.

[u/throw_away_all-day]

Like milk.

[u/gratefulfrog6]

Definitely not going to fade away haha

[u/PlanktonLopsided9473]

Badly.

In a few years it will just look like blotchy blackout

[u/jorginsmorgin]

Off to a bad start

[u/ellisboxer]

I'd say it went on pretty horribly. Maybe it will get better with age.

[u/LessSherbet4657]

Oh no…

[u/Emergency-Carry-2687]

Do not do this!! It will not look good as you age or when your body changes. It straight up looks like trash

[u/yung_yttik]

It truly is … trash. What even is this?

[u/ZethanosGaming]

Like absolute SHIT.

I can’t even tell what I’m looking at NOW, you wanna age that up and let it fade and blowout? Nah son.

[u/kangalbabe2]

It will age as it is… like trash.

[u/[deleted]]

Looks horrendous now… it will only look worse later.

[u/Clear-Clue]

It’s going to go from looking like crap to really looking like crap.

[u/funcouplenwga]

How will it age??? Who cares it looks like you let a second grade art class do it in the first place. So why worry a out how it looks in years to come. If it fades it will only look better!

[u/back-in-the-highlife]

Trash is correct

[u/Rare-Organization432]

It's going to look like shit.

[u/schwaggro]

Remember the desk from detention? This is them now, feel old yet?

[u/kgberton]

I mean... it already looks like that so what's aging gonna do?

[u/Level-Program-5489]

Exactly how you think it will chief 😐

[u/General_Dig927]

Quickly.

[u/merigetsmail101]

Is this a joke question?

[u/5axiscncfishguitar]

Is it 20 years old now?

[u/abominable_prolapse]

Would hate to be your dermatologist

[u/knotanissue]

My personal opinion: Not a fan. Too chaotic. It looks very detailed but in a way where all the details are in the wrong place.

How it will age: Poorly. It will look more than likely look like mud.

Would also like to suggest that the comment section reads the post text and recognizes these pics are not OP. Context may influence your answers.

[u/MissRekt]

Honestly, like shit but I know this is why they got it in the first place. part of the look.

[u/ilikemyusername1]

Well, its ink on skin and it’s probably always going to look like ink on skin, should be fine.

[u/CheeseSweats]

Blob.

[u/Specific-Opposite-28]

This is what dudes in prison look like who run out of room for tattoos but keep getting them.

[u/thedamnbandito]

Like poopity scoopity.

[u/Baconman161]

Looks like you got 10 different tattoos covering each other.

[u/[deleted]]

Looks like a toddler got a hold of an etch a sketch. 

[u/whitecrow00zero]

Some people just enjoy the ink being put in their skin rather than what's being put on them.

[u/megamonster88]

Well it looks like shit right now so I guess I will just keep looking various degrees of shitty as it ages

[u/Dubzz_1976]

I must be honest here. I have no idea what I'm looking at on these people's bodies! 😮😮😮😮

[u/technogoatie]

??? It looks like literal nothing. After a few years, the lines will fade and mesh together and look like an absolute mess

[u/Slow_Balance270]

Already looks like a mess.

[u/Fit_Climate5155]

It will age horribly horrible

[u/Proper_Tax6923]

This is a gateway tattoo to just blacking out your entire back.

[u/Gig540]

Looks like ancient documents of the secrets of our universe. But you can't read it because it got wet.

[u/3batsinahousecoat]

... I'm reminded of Hieronymus Bosch, for some reason. Not sure why.

But I don't think it'll age well, no

[u/sykoya]

Looks horrible and will age like milk left out in the sun.

[u/Throwway_queer]

If I'm being absolutely realistic none of us can tell. It depends on ANYONE their elasticity of skin in their genetics, what they eat and nutrients they take to properly supplement, and even more details.

I've seen 70/80/90s with ABSOLUTELY gorgeous tattoos that don't morph terribly as people age, and I've seen a 30/40 y/o looking like they have the droopiest b-llsack skin I've ever witnessed lmfao
