Is it me or does tattoo pain get worse with age..

I got my death head last October and my blue pansy three weeks ago. I love the death head so much but I'm still warming up to the blue pansy.... I like it but there's just a bunch of tiny things and shading I will have her touch up. I'm planning on getting bigger vines around my ankles to fill in the space and make it more a completed piece. The last picture are touchups. I'm thinking about adding to make the blue pansy on par with the death head.
What do yall think?!

My work at Mama Ink in Seoul. A rose and dark leaves frame the portrait, with soft shading across the face and petals.
