many things could be the cause of a fading tattoo, placement, such as, if the tattoo is located on the edge, or palm area of the hand, and or bottom and or lower edge of the foot, it is highly likely a tattoo will fade in those areas. ...two, inferior inks, sometimes, the pigments used by some artists are not up to par, or even diluted, to save or, stretch, the amount of ink, this also, could be a major factor for tattoo fading, another would be improper aftercare, many products used by customers after getting their artwork done, are not recommended by the majority of artists on the planet..... Neosporin, is a nono. lastly, THE SUN. leave a colorful photograph on your dash for a couple days. see what happens to it. USE SUNSCREEN to protect your artwork, spf 50 is fine, not much difference between anything higher... TA DAAAA, hope that was helpful.

Why does a scratch fade and not a tattoo?
Tattoos are placed in the dermis. Scratches are much shallower, on the epidermis.
Why does a tattoo fade so fast?
If a tattoo fades fast, generally it means the tattoo artist didnt apply the ink deep enough (epidermis layer or 2.2mm). It can also happen when not using good quality tattoo ink.
Is it normal for the Color to coming off a tattoo?
No, if this is a permanent tattoo the colour should not fade or come off unless the quality of the ink was poor. If so go back to your tattooist and tell him/ her you are not happy a tattoo is for life afterall.
Does a tattoo ever go away?
There are tattoo removals but even after that surgery I believe there is still a scar that remains..Otherwise naturally no tattoos dont fade away completely. They do start to lose color though.
What happens if you dont keep your tattoo lubricated?
They can scab over and once the scab falls off, the ink may fade where the scab has been.
