Aging Tattoos

The tattoo you get when you are 18 may not look the same when you are 68. Skin's elasticity and moisture decreases over time. Tattoos often stretch or sag depending on where they are located on the body. Also, tattoos that have been exposed to the sun will also have a large amount of color distortion. As you age, a person's weight also tends to fluctuate. If the tattoo is placed in an area with increased weight loss, the tattoo will stretch and the image will definitely change. Be aware of all of these issues when putting the ink onto your skin. Aging is one key reason that tattoo removal has become so popular. Tattoos change over time and many do not like the outcome. Tattoo removal is a simple solution for many people who decide that a distorted, stretched, and faded tattoo just isn't for them anymore.
