//Been wondering exactly why tattoos fade over time? Is there anything you can do to prevent it? We asked our resident expert, Jessica Lund to find out why tattoos fade and what can be done about it. Here's her report://

Avoidable Reasons for Fade: The most common avoidable reason is the sun. Sun bleaches the color out of a tattoo. In order to minimize this reaction you should use strong sun block whenever your tattoo is exposed to the sun The second most avoidable reason is improper healing. Absolutely do not go in salt water, chlorinated pools, hot tubs, or spas while a tattoo is healing. This can not be overstated. Until the skin is healed, water can get into the skin and dilute the tattoo, sometimes with disastrous results. Never let your tattoo get a thick scab and never pick at scabs. This can cause scar tissue that will affect the lines. Always go to an experienced artist. Tattoos performed by inexperienced tattooists often fade because they are either not done deeply enough and the color leaches away, or too deeply which causes scar tissue and excess scabbing. Lastly, if you choose a design that is very small, it will have a higher probability of fading, as do tattoos on the fingers and feet. Experts think that the fading on fingers and feet may be due to issues with blood circulation in these areas. Unavoidable Reasons for Tattoo Fade: These reasons are a bit more complex, and require a bit of knowledge about the way that your body systems work. Your skin is made up of an outer layer, the epidermis; a middle layer, called the dermis; and an internal layer, the hypodermis. One month after a tattoo is received, the bottom section of the epidermis is finishing its healing process. In the dermis, ink is concentrated in the uppermost section, surrounded by collagen. Ink is still being eliminated through the epidermis with ink present in tiny cells. This is why picking scabs can remove some of the ink. After three months, the epidermis is completely healed, preventing any further loss of ink. Ink is now present exclusively in the dermis layer. Experts believe that ink particles move into a deeper section of the dermis over time while your lymphatic system constantly flushes all layers of your skin to remove toxins in the body. This causes tattoos to look blurry and bluish after a number of years. The best solution for fading is to make regular appointments for touch ups. When you decide on a tattoo, realize that like most good things, your body art will require some maintenance. After avoiding all the avoidable reasons for tattoo fade, plan to visit your tattoo artist every few years to keep the lines sharp. Many artists offer this service for a free or reduced fee. This will keep your tattoo looking its best for the long haul!
