Tattoos are an investment, that becomes part of our unique identity, representing part of we are. Our inked body art becomes a storyboard; a visual reminder of different chapters in our lives. And neglecting our skin increases the fading of these storyboard memories, and become a wasted investment.
There are many things you can do to help prevent tattoo fading. But first, let me share something important with you. Did you know that your tattoo ink does not actually fade? That is correct. The tattoo ink is deep within the dermis layer of your skin and remains bright and bold.
However, as we age, the outer skin layer (epidermis) slowly breaks down after being exposed to the elements. And when this happens, our tattoos start to look faded and washed out.
Too many people take it for granted that their cherished tattoos will look good forever. However, this could not be further from the truth. You need to treat our skin to maintain the boldness and vibrancy of our tattoos as we age.
