The Sun's Not Your Friend

Do you love a good sun bake?

Spending time in the sun is fantastic if you remember your SPF. Having a tattoo doesn't mean you have to avoid the sun altogether. It does, however, mean you should protect the tattoo itself from sun exposure in order to ensure it looking best as the years go by. Protection prevents wrinkles, too, so it's all good.

Pretty Colors Fade

You can always get a touchup, but keep in mind - black will meet the test of time. The more pastel or water-color your tattoo is, the quicker it will fade away. So choose Black ink if you want that tattoo sharp when you're a granny.

Experience Matters - A Lot!

Getting your tattoo right from the start, will keep it cool in the long term. An experienced artist may go too deep, and your tattoo will splatch and splot. Do your research and find an artist with great reviews and recommendations.

Go Big and Bold or Go Home

Big bold designs stand up better to the passing of times. Intricate tattoos can be gorgeous. But the tattoos that tend to look the best thru the years are ones with bolder designs. Both the size of these tattoos, plus the thickness of the lines, makes them especially long-lasting.

Your tattoo doesn't need to cover an entire body part, but make sure to allow room for touch ups. If the tattoo has small, tight intricate details, they will be lost with time as your skin sags and bags. Aging happens, so plan for it.

Almost all tattoos can be touched-up, or even removed, so getting a tattoo that will look equally amazing through the years is not necessarily a requirement of choosing a design. Still, if you're considering how aging will affect things, it's important to understand that certain factors like color, lines, and location do matter in the long-run.

Many people go to tanning salons today for different reasons. Some of them are going on vacation and want to get a base tan so that they will not burn as easily while in the sun. Others want to attain a tan so that they look more attractive in their swimsuits throughout the summer. Many customers tell me that their doctors have recommended that they tan because of depression or vitamin D deficiency. According to eHow, "UV light produces and releases beta-endorphin. Beta-endorphin is an opium-like chemical best known for providing the sense of well-being, or "runners high," that accompanies vigorous exercise." Many people prefer tanning at a salon as opposed to laying out in the sun, as it is more comfortable and doesn't take as long. They find that they can control the amount of time they spend in the tanning bed more easily and not have to experience the unexpected burn from being in the sun too long.
