WELL, I'M JUST WONDERING IF HE USES A DIFERENT KIND OF INK OR HE REDONE, DOES ANYBODY KNOW?

LOLZ OMFGZ AM GUESSING REDONE STOP TYPING IN CAPS.

pretty please motherfucker.

i have two tattoos one i got done in the late 80s and one i just got done a year ago, the one i had done from the 80s looks just like the day i got it done because i get it retouched about every two years, so thats what your going to have to do.

hahah are you fucking kidding me? just when i thought we couldnt surpass the stupidity of the "does axl have prescription glasses" thread....I come across this one......yeah he uses magic ink..... :confused:

In the immortal words of Mick Jagger, "get your tattoos touched up!"  : ok:

his tats look terrible. he has not taken care of them at all

Well they are mostly over 20 years old.

In fact, there's a lot of difference between inks.  Mine is done with natural ink instead of chemical.  The tattoo-guy said those collors are much better and don't fade like the chemical ones.

Depends on which of Axl's tattoos you're referring to; some are quite a bit older than others.? From experience, my oldest tatts were done 17 years ago, I've found that certain colours (yellow in particular) fade far more than other colours and, as other people have said, the only way to remedy this is to get them retouched.? Personally, I like the 'lived-in' look and wouldn't want anything redone as to me they're part of my history and have worn in, so to speak, along with the rest of my body.? ?;D

agree with you Cyllan - i have two and had my earliest done 11 years ago - it could do with a touch-up but I have put it off because I like it looking as aged as it is.  its been through the mill with me, so why not!  Unless its a specific design that has got really patchy - i think some classic fading is totally fine.  (note: i dont mean black-gone-green nautical nightmares!)

Axl's look great - i looked at them as close as I could at the gigs last year - i think they look well-aged.

unless you are a "heayvy sun user"  ::) tattoos need to be touched up from time to time. I just had my right arm redone last year. The original tattoo(-s) was like 10 years old and needed some work done

Tattoos need TLC just like anything else. Just like if you had a new house, you wouldn't paint it once, and never again. Eventually it'd need some freshing up after awhile.

Tattoos are no different.

Hmm, I beg to differ here; matter of personal preference, I'd say.? I regard my tatts as a lot more personal than the house I occupy.? To me, and if I had to liken it to anything else, the question would be more akin to whether to accept the ageing process or go the botox route.? And I know which choice I'd make there.? But, each to their own, after all it's your body and so should be your choice to make.

You want to botox your tattoos? :nervous:

Good New Year's party was it, AdZ.....? ?Young people today,? tsk tsk? ;D

maybe we should talk about his teeth next..did he or didn't he bleech (do you write it like that?) them ;)

*yeah I'm in a shit mood alright*

I can see the personal preference, and once i'm 'ancient' old, I probably won't touch them up anymore, but I usually like them to look as fresh as the day I got them.

I do believe he had his teeth redone years ago, probably as soon as he was able to afford to. 

I read on the Spin magazine that he fixes hes teeth when he started to get money
