Have You Ever Wondered How Tattoos Change After Years Of Wear And Tear?

Do you have any tattoos? Would you ever consider getting one?

Body ink is becoming more and more common these days. In a busy city, you can hardly go more than a minute without spotting at least a smattering of them in full view of the public. Teachers have them, doctors have them, moms and dads have them. They can be a really lovely way to express yourself!

However, if you don't place them properly or care for them as instructed, they can significantly fade over time. You'll also want to make sure that you choose your artist carefully, as the way they're administered plays a part in how well they age.

These tattoos have not stood the test of time so well.

If you have a faded tattoo, you could always consider getting it touched up with some fresh, crisp lines, or a reapplication of color. Additionally, you could opt for a pricey and possibly painful and only partially successful removal.

In the end, though, it's just skin, and it doesn't truly define who you are. Aged tattoos are a sign that you've lived a full life!
