Are you thinking of getting a tattoo? Keep in mind: tattoos change over time, and sometimes dramatically. They fade, blur, fade away!

Photos of tattoos that you see on the Internet are usually taken either immediately after application, or after the skin has just healed. Yes, a fresh tattoo can look very cool. But have you ever wondered what will happen to her in ten years?

A rare drawing retains its original brightness and shape after a while. Why is this happening? The quality of ink is of great importance — inexpensive ones will quickly fade and blur. Not the least role is played by the specific area of the skin on which the tattoo is stuffed. Usually the drawings on the thin skin of the palms, fingers and feet come off much faster than, for example, on the back. Some people have tattoos on their fingers and palms that last literally a few months, and then they just start to "evaporate", fading in fragments.

To preserve the color and shape of the tattoo, you need to take care of it, protect it from the sun, visit a tattoo artist from time to time and adjust the drawing… So much fuss! Do you still want to get a tattoo?
