Not as much as you may think, time that is. Skin changes with aging as we lose collagen and our canvas gets more fragile and wrinkley. It will depend too on how well you’ve taken care of your canvas and how much weight you’re carrying. That matters. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve dropped weight so my skin is crapey now. A tattoo artist won’t touch it. It’s very different from when I was in my early 60s and firmer.

Hi SPW, good to hear from a reader who also takes time to feedback. Looks like I need to get a move on and have my design done now, I will ask the question about my canvas and placement. My 65th is on 27th September. Have you any artwork yourself? I have just returned from a week in Malta where is seems over 40% of locals and tourists have a tattoo, even my wife commented on the tattoos and said we are unusual not having artwork done! She would not commit to inking but offered to pay for me on my birthday! Who knows
