The picture was taken when the day after I got this tattoo, which was back in 2003. IT IS REAL. I have actually added onto it and should post and updated picture. I have 5 tattoos, but this one is still my favorite.
I really like this tattoo though I'm not really into butterflies at all. As far as it being "fake".. I think it's obvious that it's real. Just because it isn't red doesn't mean shit.
If that's real you have some seriously insensitive skin there is like zero redness and i have my doubts. If it is real though it really is impressive very tidy and clean.
