Tattoo Education

As you age, so does your tattoo.

The undeniable fact about every tattoo is that ink will fade and spread.

Fading: The lightest brightest colors and the faintest shades of grey will be first to fade away, leaving you with only the darkest most solid details.

Spreading: Over time small details will spread until they become illegible. A well-built tattoo will be designed to compensate for both of these issues.

Some styles of tattooing are built to last. They have solid lines, solid shading, and lots of space for the ink to spread. Japanese style tattooing known as Horimono, in particular, has been developed over many generations to work with the challenges of an aging tattoo.

The videos below discuss these topics and more. I put them in the order of short and fun first, moving on to more lengthy and detailed toward the bottom.
