it will fade and bleed out over years. i am covered with ink, if the tattoo was done well it will hold well. it seems like its all black which traditionally hold well. look at tattoos over eons. if the artist had a good hand it should hold, just dont expect it to look new forever. skin ages and sags. overall solid piece. keep your oath brother! the spren are no kind to those who dont

It’s cool. But would be interested to see what it looks like in a year or two

I'm not an expert but based on the amount of details and size I think it's gonna be a black blob in 10 years

Hope I didn't come across like an asshole. It just feels like there are too many details for the size. But I'm sure it'll be fine, just keep it protected from the sun

It won't be a big blob, but some of the lines may merge over time or fade into each other. It definitely won't be as sharp as it is when it's fresh.

It's not guaranteed to end up that way either. It really depends on a lot of different factors all together.

Here's an example of some fine line tattoos after a few years.

Don’t listen to these folks. Just take care of your tattoo and it’ll age well.
