Older tattoos are easier to fade

Tattoos are often seen as permanent works of art. But many are dissatisfied and regret their tattoos, want to make changes to them, or prepare for a cover-up. Even though you may regret it quite quickly, it's very common to wait a couple of years before you really make the decision to start fading your tattoo. Even though it's not fun to walk around with a tattoo you regret for several years, there are still advantages to having an older tattoo. Older tattoos are actually easier to fade than newer tattoos, and there are a few different factors that can explain this:

• Older tattoos may have faded naturally over time due to sun exposure, cell renewal in the skin, and by becoming worn.
• Older tattoos were inked with older techniques and inks that were not as durable as modern inks. This means that the ink can break down and fade more easily.
• Older tattoos have had more time to heal and stabilize in the skin.
