30 year old Kodak Royal 25

When I finished up my old Kodak 'Ektar 25' I found a cassette of Kodak 'Royal 25' in a film tub so no date and I took some photos rating it at 20 ASA and they were very good -- hardly ANY sensitivity loss and it must be 30 years old !I scanned 6x4" prints with my Mustek 1200 UB flatbed.

We may regard some of these sights as pretty gruesome now. Imagine what they will be like in 30 years time! There are going to be some revolting examples:- 60, 70, 80 year old women (many of them obese) with tattoos and holes all over them with metal and plastic stuck in... Really weird methinks. Excellent result with the old film BTW! RR
 
Nice tats. And by the way, I consider myself to be at the perfect age to get a tattoo. I'm 67. If I get one now, it won't (quite) look like sh*t when I'm 70!
 
Yeah, that sagging skin is murder on tatts. Must get my Spotmatic out again, I'm always surprised at how good all the old Takumars are.
 
One of my good friends was a EMT, and he was helping a old woman out of her house. She looked at him and said "Do you have a girlfriend?"He laughed and said yes, thinking she was going to try to set him up with a granddaughter or such.She then said "Don't ever let her get a tattoo and then opened her shirt, and promptly said "Those where not long stemmed roses when I had them put on me"
 
Ha ha !! many thanks for your views and comments !
