On the contrary! Tattoos tend lose their glossy shine (become duller) and lighten up a bit after peeling and once it is healed. The change in color is not drastic. After time, your tattoo will gradually lighten even more, and if there is quite a bit of thick coloring, it will space, meaning small gaps in the color will be visible. Touch ups every few years are very normal for maintaining a tattoo. You won't be charged as much for touch ups as you did for your initial tattoo, and it is useful to restore the color and keep your tattoo looking brand new. Good luck!
It depends if it fades if the tattoo fades get it touched up, if it doesn't don't get it touched up
It is indeed possible to cover up a tattoo, but any tattoo that you will get will have to be significantly darker than the one that you have now to effectively cover it. Consult with your local tattoo artist, see if they are good at cover ups (not all artists are), and he or she will design something for you that will cover it and will be complimentary as well.

usually you rent your own booth and then charge by tattoo. typically $80 and up. Just like working in a salon you pay weekly for your tattoo area.
When it starts to get faded.
No. Once the tattoo starts to peel, the ointment is no longer needed.
Yes, in fact it can! Peeling off the skin is peeling off the freshly inserted colour. Scabbing and peeling has to happen on it's own, and you need to procrastinate it as much as possible. Lotioning helps to shove the colour that is bleeding out back into your skin. Lotion religiously, do NOT scratch, and do not peel it off. If you want your tat to be as colourful and gorgeous as possible at least.
Chances are that your tattoo is peeling. So for a week or so it will look like it is peeling off or fading. But after that it will look just fine. Here's a tip to help prevent fading and peeling. Take a small (pea sized) dab of lotion (non scented) and rub it on your tattoo 2-3 times a day. If you put too much lotion on, it will peel even more.
Depending on the age of the tatoo. If it is new then the chemicals could smudge or deface the tattoo as well as drying out the skin and messing up the design. If it is a new tattoo then you shouldn't use nair but just shave. Also if is a new tattoo, lotion should be used to keep it moisturized to keep it form peeling and being ruined. if it is an old tattoo then nair will not aaffect it
yes especially if its already peeling
It is normal for a tattoo to peel. It is part of it's healing process. Some may peel, some may scab, and some will do both, but it is completely normal.
Applying lotion to dry skin can help a bit, but a faded or peeling tattoo can only be "refreshed" by having a tattoo artist add more ink...in effect, restoring the color.
Yes you should be applying a light layer of unscented ointment / lotion 2-4 times a day until your tattoo heals. You're tattoo is still healing as it's going through the pealing stage and it can take 2-4 weeks for a tattoo to heal.
Some Kojic soaps will not damage your tattoo not unless the formula is too strong or has a such high concentration that may damage the PH of your skin or your tattoo for that matter! If it's a fresh tattoo, I suggest that you use the Kojic soap that I recommend to all my tattoo artists! This soap would aid in faster peeling & faster healing! For questions on what brand it is, Pls send me an email: ea.colocado@gmail.com
