KEEP YOUR TATTOO DESIGN LOOKING NEW

KEEP YOUR TATTOO DESIGN LOOKING NEW

Posted by Manny Y on 8th Apr 2015

Tattoos nowadays are very popular and everybody’s getting one. But like any other works of art, it is inevitable that your loved tattoo designwill fade. It won’t disappear, but it will look really worn out and not that beautiful to look at. A worn out tattoo makes you look old, so the best way to solve this problem is to get a touch up, which means you have to go under the needle again.

Another way to prevent this is to stop or slow down the fading process of your tattoo. Taking care of your tattoo doesn’t stop after your fresh tattoo is all healed up. Tattoo care is actually a continuous process, with a few easy to follow steps, you can make your tattoo look brilliant for a long time.

Keep Away From The Sun

The number one enemy of your tattoo or any coloured pigment, paint, etc. is the sun. It’s UV light can turn brightly colored artwork into gray matter in no time. So what do you do? Cover your tat with sun block. This is best done from day one when your tattoo is healed, apply sun block every time you go out doors, and don’t forget to re-apply from time to time. Get the highest SPF you can afford, the higher the SPF the longer it protects your tattoo and the lesser you have to re-apply.

Moisturize Regularly

It is important to always keep your tattoo moisturized. The skin above the tattoo should always be healthy and a great way to do this is to keep it moisturized. Special tattoo aftercare lotions do a good job at this because they contain natural skin moisturizers from grape seed oil.

That’s it, to keeping your tattoo looking beautiful is to basically take care of your skin, religiously putting sun block when going outdoors and constantly applying your favorite moisturizer.
