I have an idea of a tattoo I want and it will be one that will be added to over time, is this a reasonable idea? I don’t want it to look like multiple tattoos, rather to always look like one tattoo.
The one I have in mind is of a rose vine traveling up and around my leg and around my body till it ends over my heart. Only the last rose will be in full bloom. When you say touch up what do you mean?

My 84yr old father got tattoos when he signed up to join the army, for WWII. His tattoos now look like it is greenish in appearance, not black ink. So, I’d like to know if someone can give me an answer!
Even when I was a child, his tattoos always looked green! Is it the ink? Or is it because where it was done?
