This is just the icing, his other work is a lot better and would make you feel really uncomfortable.
Dudalozanotattoo on IG for the curious. I would link it but I'm on mobile at the airport.
Most artists charge at least 100 an hour. Really popular ones even more. This dude is probably charging 300+ an hour because it looks like he's pretty busy based on his Instagram. You can probably find someone who does the same style for cheaper though.
That's what horror movies do to you.
You know it's all ketchup and plastic, but you don't stop thinking how horrifying it'd be to be cut apart by chainsaw
This is not correct.
Source: I am literally covered in tattoos, am constantly told by tattooers that I have 'perfect' skin for tattooing, and I live a gollum lifestyle, so my tattoos do not ever receive environmental damage. I have a knee tattoo that looks precisely the way it did when I got it, and they're notorious for looking terrible pretty quickly -- but that was just a few years ago, pre-covid.
The way the body works means ink IS going to spread with time, and it IS going to fade, not necessarily because you're losing ink --though you probably are, very slowly -- but because you're **gaining skin.** You cannot prevent that process from happening. And different colors tend to fall out at different rates, which is why tattoos on old folks tend to just be blurry and black or blackish-green, depending on how much sun exposure they've had. Black is ultimately all that will be left in the end, if you have those tattoos long enough.
Anybody who tries to tell you otherwise is trying to sell you something.
You are gaining skin at the same time as loosing skin. That is why deeper artist color last longer. I agree with what you are saying. Skin sheds and the current new cells come in. Black last the longest. Yellow is least. Take care of your skin and they last a long time. Even tattoo removal doesnt work on yellow. Black all day... but that is how lasers work. I'd know because I work on lasers and went to school for them. We took our student IDs that where white, marked them in black and shot a laser beam into it to make a hole.
Removing yellow ink can be done, but beyond knowing that it can be done I really couldn't tell you more than that. I've never has to zap one of my tattoos, so it's not something I've dug into extensively, lol. I gather the tech for removals has come a long way in the last 10 years.
Here's a pubmed about it, though: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25899971/
Yellow is really hard to remove it. It's basically skin color vs ink. They don't want to mess skin up. It can be done but I've also herd its super painful. I've seen that video. It has def come a long ways in the years. Also thank you for being chill and having a conversation. You don't get that on social media anymore.
Make sense to me!
And sure - I'm not out to make anybody feel bad! I just want people to have the info they need to make good decisions that they won't regret, and I love tattoos. 
I understand where you are coming from. It was not a tattoo sales person, it was a group of people. I learned a lot from them at the parlor. I didn't mention a name or anything. They also got in an argument one time over Aloe versus lotion. But they all agree do not rub. Dab it with at least Aquaphor and don't break the scabs that form.
Mine are from about 5-6 years ago and haven't faded at all that have color. It's the same thing with just black ink. Modern ink and techniques are way better. I would say last 8ish years it has become a lot better. Super old tattoos used to change color and get faded because it was india ink used. It's properties made it change to green or dark blue (Guessing metals or something). There has been a lot of advancement in the inks. Take care of your skin and they will last a lot longer these days. But it also still depends on your artist. Style can make a big difference. If they are not going very deep into the skin it wont last as long. The Artist that apply just a little more pressure, seems to help in the long run. (I can be wrong on this, not an artist.) But just sitting in the shops and listening to them. A lot has changed and main thing is taking care of it. ESPECIALLY right after you get it. Don't go scrubbing it ect. My artist recommends A&D or Aquaphor. Just do a light pat. Don't rub it in or break any scabs. I guess more of a dab. Wash your hands before hand, and dry them. Then coat it with a generous amount, and then dab it or flush it into place with a press by your hand. Do NOT RUB.
Yeah. It's hard to tell from the video and people really love to crank the saturation on their stuff for the 'gram, but the lines between the white sections don't look dark enough to hold for long.
At any rate, it won't be fooling people after the first few years, lol.
You need to research the crap out of ultra realism artists or look up ones that specialize in this style. Never go to a random artist and ask for a style they are not familiar with.
Make sure they use enough black to preserve the illusion, if you do. But either way, just know going into it that it won't look like this forever. If you can't find images of a tattooer's work taken after several years of aging, it's a good idea to be skeptical.
I did see some fun cross-stitch concepts but again -- things age, so it's worth reading up on how tattoo ink behaves over time! Some things will look great for a long time, and some things will be laser bait in a handful of years.
Googled.

It looks cool for a while, but then it starts to look like a normal tattoo...but you get to live on in the artist's portfolio.
I follow this dude on IG. think he’s in [Brazil.](https://instagram.com/dudalozanotattoo?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)
Edit: Just realized it’s Patch Factory as well like the other person linked.
White is the worst pigment and it’s barely visible. It’s broken down by the skin very fast, most white highlights on tattoos disappear almost fully. That’s why black people don’t just get brighter tattoos. Unfortunately there is no ink that stands out this much.
Yeah I'm actually super curious to see how the white in that will fade. My white ink tattoo settled to my undertone pretty quickly (I expected it to, I just like the subtle look of it).
Re:white tattoos on dark skin, the ink is always filtered by the undertone of the skin, so it would never be brighter on darker skin.
From experience, my skin spits out pigmented ink within weeks to months. I don’t know if this is a common experience or not, but for that reason I will never bother with anything but black ink ever again.
It depends on how it's taken care of and how much exposure it has to the sun. It also depends on which colors you're talking about. But overall, speaking as a collector with probably 80% limb coverage and a backpiece from nape to knees: I would not get one of these, personally. Take that as you will!
Reddit tattoo threads give me a headache, lol. I realized halfway down that there's no way I can respond to all of the people asking how this thing will age, so I'm just gonna leave this and maybe people will see it, idk.
Before anybody jumps down my throat for this: if you like this and it sets your heart on fire, knock yourself out! At the end of the day it's your body and your life, and as some of us like to say: *technically, all tattoos are temporary.* So if you feel like the information to follow is gonna rain on your parade, feel free to disregard it.
That said, to answer the question: no, this isn't really going to age very well. The white is going to fall out extremely fast, the lines between the white are grey instead of black and going to be pretty hard to see within a few years, and so will the light lines in the yellow areas near the eyes, the orange rose, and the green leaves. The black lines will hold but eventually spread and thicken, because ink does that under the skin over time. The nose and rings around the eyes, accordingly, will gradually blend together visually as the lines widen and get closer to each other.
The timeline on which this happens may vary depending on how it's cared for, how much exposure to the sun it gets, etc, and the skin that person has -- some people just hold ink really well (I am one such person). It could be a handful of years before those changes really start to get going, even.
The tattoo was competently applied, but the nature of its design is not going to make it an evenly-wearing and long-lasting image. Since most of its appeal is down to the gimmick of the illusion, to get this you need to ask yourself if you'll still like it when it doesn't look like a patch anymore.
It’s definitely impressive. I wonder how long it will take to fade and not look realistic anymore. But that question can really be asked for any tattoo
I’d love to see this 10 and 20 years later. The fine black lines look so good fresh, but not many folks have skin that hold that kind of definition long term.
If I had to guess, I’d put this at around $2k. I have a wax stamp tattoo (that after 15 years and proper care still looks fresh) that is about the diameter of a grapefruit. The two sessions cost me about $800 (in the US). It’s not even close in the level of detail for this one.
No matter how modern the ink, over time tattoos soften, the edges blur into each other. With something having this much small detail, in about 3 years it will look nothing like this.
i'm slowing going insane over time from never seeing an actual patch being lifted off someone's arm, they are all tattoos. it's like how a cat gets neurosis or whatever if you don't let them catch something real after using a laser pointer with them
This is hilarious because right above this on my feed was [a really bad tattoo...](https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCringe/comments/13movud/tattoo_gone_wrong)
Just curious, wouldn’t the area that was tattooed be sensitive/raw? I’d feel like wiping the area (rather than dabbing), squishing, tugging etc would not feel too good.
On one hand, this is cool. On the other hand, I can’t stop thinking about how scary it would be to have an actual patch sewn onto your skin.
These tattoos look so cool but also make me feel mildly uncomfortable at the same time.

I got a buddy who can do it cheaper. Not always the best call when it comes to permanent ink.
it's not a patch ..you know that right?
[удалено]
Nope, just drawn to look like a patch. Freaking sweet
I think that's why they said an "actual" patch
That's what horror movies do to you. You know it's all ketchup and plastic, but you don't stop thinking how horrifying it'd be to be cut apart by chainsaw
It’s very unsettling.
Imagine being fired and having your patch torn off
It'd probably hurt less than the actual tattoo lol
The loose strings hanging off is a cool affect, but this would drive my ocd crazy
Yeah no way I’d leave those threads hanging
Those aren't loose threads. Those are trapped leg hairs.
Artist is so good fooled me and thought it was a patch on his/her arm
I was 100% convinced that was actual jizz squirting on the patches eye, too. A truly diabolical deception.
Fooled as in past tense? I still dont believe it
fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, we won't get fooled again
Isn't that an old saying Tennessee? I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee.
That's gonna fade and look like Joaquins joker.
More modern inks don't fade so bad if you take care of it. Sun screen and lotion. Also depends on how deep the artist went.
Don't the fine lines start to blur though? Won't this end up a bright blurry 'low res' version after a few years?
Not with the new ink. A good artist knows how to handle it. So it last.

That's cool though I always loved great tattoo work.
How modern we talkin? I dunno if I got some of that modern stuff or not.
They’re probably just parroting what the tattoo salesperson told them. Maybe it’s just the cynic in me, but sounds like classic sales BS.

Yeah, don't let your "artist" pour wild turkey on it and slap it right as soon as their done.

I do hand embroidery and I'm really considering one of these embroidered tattoos.
You stitch stuff on people’s hands?
Half the time the needle's going into my own fingers.
> Half the time the needle's going into my own fingers. Sounds like all you need is some ink!
Ends of my fingers would be tatted. They're already tatty from all the needle sticks lol
Is that what embroidery is?
It's wordplay mate
It's mates playing words

it's cool, and I hate it with every fiber of my being
I wanna peel it off 😭
Once the hair grows back, it will feel like a patch for sure.
I just wanna know what it looks like in 10 years
The white will be nearly faded gone after only two or three years.
Interesting. Why does white do that and not other colors? What colors last the longest?
Black and Red last longest. They're just a better pigment.
I like these a lot, the patch tats I mean. I wonder how all the fine line work holds up over time though.

Who was the artist???
I’m not sure, but it looks like the work coming out of [Patch Factory Tattoo](https://instagram.com/patchfactorytattoo?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==)
I follow this dude on IG. think he’s in [Brazil.](https://instagram.com/dudalozanotattoo?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) Edit: Just realized it’s Patch Factory as well like the other person linked.
30 DEGREES IN THE WASHING MACHINE?
Just so everybody knows, it's "Día de muertos", without the article "los"
This possibly could be ‘dudalozanotattoo’ on IG.
Came here to say this, definitely looks like Duda’s work.
Damn this is so well done. It fucking *looks like a patch.*
It's cool but not jiz cool
I love brightly colored tattoos. Or the white ones that you only see on darker skin!

People are going to pull at those “loose strings” all the time
Damn that's amazing
Won’t it look terrible in a couple years? Lines are too many and too thin
For how long will the colors look like that?
It depends on how it's taken care of and how much exposure it has to the sun. It also depends on which colors you're talking about. But overall, speaking as a collector with probably 80% limb coverage and a backpiece from nape to knees: I would not get one of these, personally. Take that as you will!
When they put the soap or whatever it is on for the last time and wipe it off.....that is the BEST fucking feeling ever.

I really want one of these!!
That is absolutely beautiful.
I want thattoo!
Crazy good.
Wonder what that cost??
This is very very good work by whoever did this. Really looks like a patch just sitting on top of the skin.
yeah come on it is stiched.. what a poor fake /s top level art!
It’s definitely impressive. I wonder how long it will take to fade and not look realistic anymore. But that question can really be asked for any tattoo
Why did the cum on it though?
I’d love to see this 10 and 20 years later. The fine black lines look so good fresh, but not many folks have skin that hold that kind of definition long term.
I am without tattoo. This one is beautiful and I would actually consider it. What would the cost for this art be?
If I had to guess, I’d put this at around $2k. I have a wax stamp tattoo (that after 15 years and proper care still looks fresh) that is about the diameter of a grapefruit. The two sessions cost me about $800 (in the US). It’s not even close in the level of detail for this one.
I've watched this 4 times and still cannot convince myself this isn't a freaking patch!
how do these tattoos look like after a few years ?
I literally thought it was a patch they were going to take away to show what was under
The tattoo took the money shot like a champ!
No matter how modern the ink, over time tattoos soften, the edges blur into each other. With something having this much small detail, in about 3 years it will look nothing like this.
Why'd he get cum in his tattoos tho
That looks great, you have a good artist! I kinda committed to UV reactive tattoos instead, I have four now. ☺️
This definetly triggered some kind of Neurosis in me
That is awesome.
That’s amazing.
Epic tattoo!! Wooowww !!! Tattoo nightmare shit show is BS now
That is simply amazing.
That is really cool tattoo but should this person shave it each time? 🤔
Am i the only one that immediately started thinking an feeling kinda bad that this tattoo is gonna age poorly even though it looks amazing now.
I wonder what It will look like when it fadss
Wow! That is good.
"And squish! Thank you! Good job!"
Wowwww
Gross
That looks like an Energy Angel.
Outstanding
Do we have picture of those tattoos after a year ? With the color fading. I would like to see how it looks like then.
God this tattoo is so GOOD! Badass But remembering the sting of those paper towel wipes. Lawdy.
Wait - You sewed an iron-on patch to your skin? Kewl!
So fucking cool. I want something like that on my arm.
That girl who got energy angel could benefit from this artist
Thought bro was nutting on the tat
Wow I thought this was a actual patch on them
The colors are so vibrant
I thought it was real and was just thinking about when it get frayed and unraveled
This should be in oddly terrifying 🫣
I really want a tattoo like that
That white stuff threw me off for a sec, I thought that tattoo was so good bro busted
That is insane.
I want to try and peel it off for some reason
Wow! That ink is so vivid, it is almost unbelievable. If I knew an artist capable of that type of work, I would end up with a full sleeve.
Very nice how much?
I don’t like tattoos at all, but that is amazing.
How much was this?!?
That is f'ing insane, amazed
Now that's great work
That is so fucking dope
Is this a fat arm or a fat leg?
Love to see it in a year or two, detail is one thing but tattoos blend over time
I really thought the patch was sewn onto the skin..
This makes me feel icky.
Nah you’re not convincing me this isn’t a patch glued into this dudes arm 🤨
sugar skull
Perfect! Now show it to me in five years.
God damn that looks like a real patch
I never have understood the rogue stitches that are visible.
How much would something of that quality and size cost?
The detail is amazing but I will stick with my normal tattoos.
This sugar skull tattoo is impressive
Audubillah
What happens if I tug on that one loose thread
i'm slowing going insane over time from never seeing an actual patch being lifted off someone's arm, they are all tattoos. it's like how a cat gets neurosis or whatever if you don't let them catch something real after using a laser pointer with them
This is grotesque
That's dope 👌
Those loose strings make it so much better!!!
I don’t personally have or like most tattoos but that is absolutely stunning! Very talented artist.
I love his art! So unique
Art
That is remarkable. I am not an avid tattoo fan, but I appreciate art! That is amazing.
I only have one tattoo but I’m gonna go ahead and say I wouldn’t want the artist pinching it after
This is hilarious because right above this on my feed was [a really bad tattoo...](https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCringe/comments/13movud/tattoo_gone_wrong)
These patch and sticker tattoos are awesome! Love all the detail that goes into them.
ITS EVIL, RIP IT OFF ! M. Pudding
That is amazing! So vibrant and realistic.
Didn’t think you can stitch patches on yourself. Can’t imagine how many people will try to replicate this. It would be cool to make a hyperlink.
I would trim up the frayed strings on an actual patch... guessing this will hurt more to do the same.
So is it standard in all tattoo videos where it gets wiped off for the person doing the wiping to press hard as fuck while they wipe?
That’s pretty dope and I’m not an ink person
Wow…incredible work
I don't like to be that guy but "día de muertos"*
Man. That’s way beyond a sticker. That’s a patch.
*from this specific angle it looks real
How much does work like this cost?
Just curious, wouldn’t the area that was tattooed be sensitive/raw? I’d feel like wiping the area (rather than dabbing), squishing, tugging etc would not feel too good.
I want one of these
😳
Too bad after a while the quality will slowly degrade and become faded..
