Tattoos have represented personal identity, affiliations, philosophy and creative, choices, from Paleolithic man to Corporate Execs, and are gaining a new interest and popularity with both sexes. It's a fact that 10% of the people in the United States have at least one tattoo somewhere on their body. A tattoo by definition is permanent. Pigment is inserted under the epidermis with a needle or sharp object into the dermis where the color is captured by the body for all time..... well almost. Tattoos change over time because the skin is constantly changing from regeneration, sun, wind, water and other assaults.

The appearance of a tattoo therefore must also change as the skin stretches, shrinks and ages. Pigment moves imperceptibly over time on a cellular level and elasticity and skin resiliency naturally decline. Age spots, tanning and wrinkles can take a toll on the clarity and color of tattoos too. How well and how long a tattoo stays defined and the colors vibrant, is most affected by the immediate aftercare and then the lifelong skin maintenance. Aftercare guidelines vary, but the common denominator is: prevent infection and promote healing to retain as much ink as possible in the tattoo. Tattoos generally heal completely within two to three weeks, but must be kept continually moist to prevent scabbing, which removes color from the tattoo. |
