When you decide to get a tattoo, you also want it to look perfect for a long time. In some cases that doesn\u2019t happen. The aging process, sun exposure, and other factors have a major impact on tattoos. Some pieces of body art don\u2019t stand the test of time whereas others do. Throughout this guide, you\u2019re going to learn more about tattoos that age well and may even look better as time goes by. Read on to check it out.<\/p>\n

Make Your Tattoo Last Longer: Remember<\/h2>\n

Tattoo aftercare, location, and design<\/strong> are important factors in the aging process of your ink. But, the most significant factor here is the expertise of a tattoo artist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Location<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s useful to keep in mind tattoos are located in the dermis of the skin. This skin layer is about 1mm thick. Great expertise and precision are required to ensure the tattoo needle reaches and remains in the dermis. It\u2019s easy to miss out and go too deep.<\/p>\n

When a tattoo artist goes too deep, the ink tends to blow out<\/a>. With time, the tattoo doesn\u2019t have its sharp and clear-cut lines but starts to look kind of sloppy. In other words, your tattoo won\u2019t age well.<\/p>\n

So, the choice of a tattoo artist is absolutely crucial here. You shouldn\u2019t rush. Give yourself enough time to choose an artist whose skills, talent, and expertise will give you an amazing tattoo that will age well and look equally appealing with time.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are plenty of choices today. Talented tattoo artists showcase their work on social media and it\u2019s easy to find the right person.<\/p>\n

Aftercare<\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve chosen the tattoo artist you need to think about tattoo aftercare<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Are you prepared to stay dedicated to washing\/moisturizing your tattoo properly, especially as it heals?<\/p>\n

Can you make sure your tattoo doesn\u2019t get too much sun exposure?<\/p>\n

If so, you are ready for a tattoo and it has a high chance of aging well. But you also need to choose the right location. Skin is the largest organ of the human body and it gives us plenty of places for tattoos. Not all places are equally beneficial.<\/p>\n

Some parts of the body may keep your tattoo looking perfect for many years while others can do the opposite. This is why many people need touchups frequently. If you\u2019re not sure which body part to go for, your tattoo artist can help you out.<\/p>\n

Plus, this guide is going to focus on the best locations for tattoos that age well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

And lastly \u2013 design.<\/p>\n

Even the image or design you choose plays a role in the aging process. Some images are prone to fading and lose their sharpness with time. Others are more generous and withstand the test of time. As you\u2019re going to see in this post, larger tattoos are more resistant to aging.<\/p>\n
