This is in response to BB's earlier posts, regarding the Butterfly.
Good but...
real tattoos tend to have slightly faded and blurry edges, even very new, very good ones. I had one a couple of weeks ago - my son's name - and even though it's sharp and clear by tattoo standards, it's definitely not print quality. A new tattoo would also look a bit raised above the skin, since the skin swells slightly. After all, it's been injured.
The other thing I noticed about the above image are the antennae. I don't think it's possible to get such a fine line in a tattoo.
I also have a band around one arm - done about 12 years ago - which is very definitely blurred in places.
