The Inked Ritual Journey - Truth behind why tattoos fade

Hey there, thanks for stopping by to read about my Inked Ritual journey where I will share how it relates to the development of our Inked Ritual Tattoo Serum and the real truth behind why tattoos actually fade.

First, I have a confession - I'm a tattoo addict. Like many other tattoo addicts and aficionados, I honestly never gave a second thought about my ink fading. I guess you could say that I took it for granted. I never considered that my inked skin needed extra care and protection. Well, this all changed after getting my tenth tattoo in 2016.

But, once that day arrived and I was in the chair getting inked, my excitement turned to concern. This was after my tattoo artist said, "Wow, your older tattoos are quite faded"!As she giggled, while I compared the fresh ink on my arm with the older tattoo on my shoulder. It was embarrassing. 

Being older and wiser I did not want to take for granted how great this new tattoo looked, as it was not cheap. So naturally, I asked my artist what could I do to keep my new tattoo from fading so bad? And all she said to do was: "keep your tattoos moisturized." I told her that I took care of my skin, so why are my tattoos so faded? She just shrugged her shoulders. 

Even though my artist's advice was so vague, it was the best damn advice I could have been given. With fresh new ink etched into my skin, I left the tattoo studio on a mission to find the best tattoo aftercare.

It was after this day, I vowed to make it a daily ritual to protect my tattoos and never go to the grave with faded ink. Being determined to protect my newly inked investment, I needed to be confident that whatever I put on my skin, would keep my tattoos looking great for years to come. So like most people, I did a Google search for the best tattoo care products.

The Problem

After spending hours on Google comparing almost every tattoo product, I saw a pattern. All are for post-tattoo recovery or daily moisturizing. Being cream, lotion, oil, and balm based, many are quite greasy. They are great moisturizers but limited in what they can do for the health of your skin and tattoo fading. It makes sense why my tattoo artist said to 'moisturize', as this is what the tattoo industry dictates.

My dilemma...I took care of my tattooed skin, and yet my tattoos faded. Apparently moisturizing failed and was not enough.

Then I reviewed more products and made another discovery. Several of them contain toxins like petroleum, mineral oil, fragrances, and more. These toxic ingredients can actually cause tattoo fading. Not something I want on my skin.

On a side note, I have over 20 years of experience in advanced skincare product development.This is what helped me identify the good and bad ingredients in other products and their effectiveness.

The Discovery

So now my mission to find the best tattoo care took a deeper dive into learning 'Why or how do tattoos fade'? I began researching the biology and structure of the skin, and it's relation to tattoos. After doing more extensive research to find why tattoos actually fade, I soon discovered something exciting and vital:

"Tattoos DON'T fade. Our skin just AGES!"

That's right. Tattoos do not fade. Tattoos start looking faded as we get older and our skin ages, which is caused by our aging skin. Also, things like sun damage, dehydration, and a lack of nutrients, will speed up the look of faded tattoos.

The Secret

Protect your skin from aging - stop your tattoos from fading.

The Solution

I was now confident that a solution to protect my tattoos from fading, could be achieved using advanced cosmeceutical skincare technology and ingredients.
