How long does a Dotwork Memento Mori Skull With Blooming Peonies tattoo last?

Apply SPF 50 daily to tattooed skin exposed to sunlight — UV exposure is the primary cause of tattoo fading regardless of style or ink quality.
Is a Dotwork Memento Mori Skull With Blooming Peonies 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 Dotwork Memento Mori Skull With Blooming Peonies 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.
