Works every time.

Wrinkles, crinkles and sags are just a few signs of aging that most men and women (even Botox buffs) can expect to see creep up on their faces as the years turn into decades.
But rather than merely bracing themselves for the radical, yet predictable maturation of their physique, one specialist argues that middle-aged adults who are able to see what they will look like in 20 years might be motivated to make healthier and wiser decisions for the future.
“The ability to time travel — albeit in our own minds — can help us manage our emotions and improve our decisions about the things that matter. Things, for example, like our finances or our health,” writes psychologist Hal Hershfield, author of the April 2023 tome “Your Future Self: How To Make Tomorrow Better Today.”

No mention of tattoos.
I just use a mirror...
Which settings?
Gonna take a strictly mental journey
Gary Muledeer?
From what I understand, aging has never improved a tattoo.
I figured I’d be dead by now.
The most flattering.
I use the editing settings and image control on my mirror. I do some retouch and bronze my skin a little and smooth out the wrinkles. I look like a movie star when I’m finished but it all goes away when I go back to the default “reality” setting. Which is a bummer.
Well, hey, maybe that’s what our glorified bodies will look like.
I’ve managed to outlive everyone else in my family. Nobody made it to 76 (my only brother died at 51), so I’ll take each day I get, and be thankful for it, no matter how many wrinkles and sags I have.
I was in an eyeglass place last week, to get new reading glasses. As I sat waiting for each step of the process to be ready for me, I studied the people who came in, and who worked there.
I believe that 100% of the females, both staff and customers, had at least one visible tattoo. Some on legs, some on arms. One visible near neckline.
No piercings or off color hair dye? I think the most annoying I’ve seen was an eyelid piercing. I couldn’t help but stare even though i tried very hard.
Diet and exercise is a year-round effort now. Same with cutting back on TV and reading more books. Growing old takes a lot of work.
A LONG time ago when saturday night live was funny, they ran a bit about a young girl in her 20’s who got a tramp stamp of a butterfly. Then they aged her into her 60’s and it became a vulture.
I am in my 60’s and am sporting the “grandpa bod”.
Proud of it. I earned this scars and all.
What if you look 20 years ahead and see you are dead,,,
Then you have entered, The Twilight Zone.
Works every time.
How about in her 80s? A dead vulture?
