How to keep a tattoo black?

The beauty of your tattoo also depends on many other measures. One of the most important precautions to take after getting a tattoo is to avoid sun exposure. A tattoo creates a wound that needs to heal smoothly. The sun can impair the healing process of the tattoo and, in some cases, cause pain on raw skin, burns, and blisters. In addition to being harmful to the skin, the sun also degrades the color of your tattoo.

After getting your tattoo, follow your tattoo artist's advice carefully and cover your tattoos if exposed to the sun.
