How long does a Blackwork Stippled Eternal Lion Cub With Cracked Hourglass And Ribbon Banner tattoo last?
Fine line designs soften gradually over 5 to 10 years as delicate details blend into smooth gradients. Bold blackwork holds its structure for 15 to 20 years with proper care.

Is a Blackwork Stippled Eternal Lion Cub With Cracked Hourglass And Ribbon Banner tattoo a good first tattoo?
It depends on the specific design and placement. Simpler versions in low-pain placements like the upper arm or thigh make excellent first tattoos. More complex designs with fine detail work better once you understand how your skin heals.

How much does a Blackwork Stippled Eternal Lion Cub With Cracked Hourglass And Ribbon Banner tattoo cost?
Cost depends on size, complexity, and your artist's hourly rate. Simple designs under 10cm typically run $100 to $300. Larger, more detailed pieces range from $300 to $800 or more. Fine line work often costs more per hour than bold traditional styles because it requires greater technical precision and takes longer per square centimetre of coverage.
