Even if you have an older tattoo that is completely healed, there are some things to consider in keeping your tattoo looking good for years to come. How do you keep your tattoo looking fresh and vibrant? Quite often tattoos can fade over time : this is because the molecules of the ink are slowly absorbed by the body over time. Generally, the best way to take care of your tattoo on a daily basis it to use a light product that is non petroleum based and will not clog pores, allowing the skin to breath. A light application of Tattoo DermaCare will moisturize and penetrate the skin without any heavy buildup.

If there are periods when your tattoo will be exposed to extreme sun. It's a good idea to apply a sun block on the area. Generally a SPF 50 sun block will work just fine in most cases. Exposure to extreme sun can cause tattoos to fade prematurely. Do Not Use sun block during the initial healing process of a new tattoo, avoid direct sun or cover the area until the tattoo is completely healed.

Be aware that tattoos can have a tendency to spread with age, usually at a rate of about 10% of the original area for each year you have the tattoo. This is one of the reasons it's so important to moisturize and condition your skin and tattoo on a regular basis . Remember, with proper care of your tattoos, you will increase the life and vibrancy of your investment over time.
