Will the tattoo fade?

Many people like to get tattoos because tattoos can be in all kinds of strange shapes, and tattoos also represent a fashion trend in modern society. However, people who have had tattoos generally know that when the tattoo is just done, the color of the tattoo is very bright, but after a period of time, the color of the tattoo will gradually fade and will not be as beautiful as before. Do tattoos really fade over time?

Yes, tattoos usually fade.

Note:

First of all, we should pay attention to whether the equipment in the tattoo shop is hygienic. Tattooing can be considered a minor surgery, so the hygiene of the equipment is very important. Tattoo operators should use disposable gloves and needles, and the tattoo machine should be made of stainless steel.

Second, understand the quality of tattoo pigments. Today's tattoos generally do not use the dyes and inks used for tattoos, but instead use liquid plant pigments soaked in alcohol. Since plant pigments are extracted from natural plants, they are less susceptible to infection when they penetrate the skin.

Third, pay attention to your own protection. When getting a tattoo, use epinephrine or other drugs to clean and stop bleeding. After tattooing, you need to use warm water to clean the tattoo and keep it dry (usually for one week), otherwise it will cause infection and lead to skin rot.

Fourth, do not use animal blood or cinnabar for tattoos. Tattooing with pigeon blood or cinnabar is extremely dangerous.

Fifth, do not use alcohol or gentian violet to treat puncture wounds (alcohol will irritate the wound, and gentian violet will destroy the color of the tattoo).

Sixth, after the tattoo is completed, you need to apply professional tattoo ointment or medical vaseline. After 2-3 hours, rinse off the ointment and blood with warm water, and dry the water with absorbent cotton or professional paper towels. Do not apply any other medicine afterwards.

Seventh, it is normal to have itching, scabbing and peeling a few days after the tattoo is completed. Do not scratch the wound to avoid infection or discoloration. The underwear should be soft and not too tight.

Eighth, you should not swim or take a sauna for the time being after getting a tattoo.

Ninth, if there is ulceration, suppuration, water discharge, slow healing of the wound or fever, please consult the tattoo artist or go to the hospital for examination in time.
