Why do tattoos fade?
The most common reason is the sun. Sun bleaches the color out of a tattoo. It is important that you protect your investment by using a very strong sun block EVERY TIME your tattoo is exposed to the sun. I’ve found the sun block for lips a very handy way to do this. Another reason is improper after care while the tattoo is healing. Do not go in salt water, chlorinated pools, hot tubs, or spas while a tattoo is healing! Don’t let your tattoo get a thick scab and never pick scabs! Tattoos performed by inexperienced tattooists often fade because they are not done deep enough, or done too deep causing scar tissue and excess scabbing.
