Like I can see what's supposed to be the old woman but its never been much of a trick unless you think old people look like Yubaba from spirited away.

I don't think it works well here because the art styles don't match and the way the bar keeper is drawn looks nothing like the old woman.
If you look at the barkeep the other way he looks like an angry mole crawling out of the wall :3
Yeah it certainly doesn't help but even with the original I've always thought this.

I had to read your comment to understand what I was supposed to be looking at
I really like this
I don't get it :(
Thank you. I'm all the years I've never seen the old lady without this
That episode was awesome.
Wait a minute, Dogs don't talk!
Can't see anything but a turned head, even with this guide
This helps but I still don't see it in the original image
I only see a young woman's head turned and looking at the window
Edit: squinting makes me see it, I guess my mind doesn't register the old woman until I see less detail but I still don't see it in the original image op posted
I don't think the original image in this post has enough detail to create the illusion

Cover the left outer eyelash and imagine the word "Babushka"
Physically covering the left side with a finger and I can now see the old woman. Fucking finally. Thank you!

Maybe you're doing it wrong. Turn your phone upside down and hop on one leg.
Thank you, geez, that took me forever.
Do you see a young woman or an old lady?
Oh, I got them mixed up. I thought the guy on the left looked simultaneously 12 and middle-aged.

In my late teens I had a similar poster in my room with double meaning.
Warning, a bit NSFW
That's pretty cool! I love pictures like that. My grandfather, who was a really good artist, liked to draw faces for me that would change into a different face if you turned it upside-down. Sadly, I only have one left and it's only a xerox.
I like that. Accurate in my teens and well beyond.

I only see a young woman looking away, none of these comments help...
Perspective is wrong since we should be seeing the nose and mouth from the side (and only a little of one eye), but maybe this helps?
It's perfect. I have no idea what this is supposed to help with but it's perfect.
She has... your eyes.
The chin/jaw line of the young woman is the nose of the old woman, the ear is the eye, there is a horizontal line of the young woman's neck that is the mouth of the old woman.
At first I only saw the young woman too.
As a kid I could see both instantly but today it took me several minutes
The proportion of the bartender and the woman makes it as the young woman is the main one.

Older people tend to like getting ID'ed. Just go for it either way.
It's very subjective. My wife kinda hates it. She's a good looking woman, but she certainly doesn't look like she's 20. She often doesn't carry a wallet - so if she's ID'd it can actually be annoying.

I teach an underwater photography class at a university. We were going to have a night dive one evening and a thunderstorm rolled in and we had to cancel, so we decided to go to a local pub that has great food.
There's a bouncer at the door, and he's checking all my student's IDs super close. He's bending them, shining a light through them, etc making absolutely sure nobody underage gets through.
I walk up behind my students with my ID out and he just nods and says "you're good man."
I never felt so old.
My ID picture is still the same one I took in my early 20s (almost 40 now), and even when I do get carded, 75% of the time they make a comment about how my "picture is really old," "I look really young," etc, etc which is always a punch to the gut.

Is it one of those pictures where you flip it to see young girl turn into an elderly woman?
Not flip but kind of. Other comments have already explained it if you haven't seen them yet
I couldnt recognize anything except for a human like blob wearing a fur coat.
