Key Thing to have a Long-Lasting Dark Tattoo
- Key Thing to have a Long-Lasting Dark Tattoo
1. Tattoo Aftercare
Tattoo making is just 50%, and aftercare plays another 50% significant role for the long-lasting best tattoo. It may seem not very pleasant to be so careful about a bit, but your future self will thank you.
“Aftercare plays a crucial part in a tattoo aging well,” said Suresh Machu, The Best Tattoo Artist in India. “First, you have to allow the tattoo to heal properly. If a tattoo is allowed to heal properly there’s no need for a touch up.” So if you follow your tattoo artist’s instructions word-for-word, you’re more likely to have a tattoo that looks amazing through the years.
We recommend “TATTOO PROTECTOR” cream in our studio. It’s 100% organic and scent-free. It helps to heal your tattoo fast and helps you in maintenance for a long duration.
2. Tattoo Placement Matters
When it comes down to it, tattoos are a little bit like buying a home. The location matters. If your location of the tattoo at its best, then your longevity of the tattoo also will be best. “Think hands, feet, and other areas that come into a lot of contact with friction and it really depends on your lifestyle.” So think about what sports you do and the clothes you wear before you get the tattoo done.
If you can’t decide, there are some sure-fire spots for long-lasting tattoos. The longest-lasting tattoos are on flatter, less abused areas of the body like the flat of the forearm, upper arms, shoulders, back, and thighs. These areas can usually withstand the test of time. Get whatever you want wherever, but know these spots will likely age the best.
3. Color of the Tattoo
Tattoo Re-Touchups can always be possible if your tattoo starts to look dull. Still, if you want your original tattoo to be a sure-fire hit through the years, you should be careful about what colors you choose. And the best tattoo palettes are black or greyscale, according to Suresh Machu.
“You can never go wrong with black and greyscale tattoos,” Suresh Machu says. “Black ink lasts better than any color ever will Bright and vibrant colors look great at first, but tend to fade the quickest. This is often why color tattoos are frowned upon. They tend to not always last the test of time.” So, if you and your artist are brainstorming a design, remember to consider color as part of the equation.
4. The Sun Vs. The Tattoo
Spending time in the sun is fantastic. And 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 to ensure it looks best as the year goes.
” If you are a frequent sunbather or cannot commit to putting Tattoo protector cream on your tattoos, you should probably stick to areas of your body that don’t typically see the sun,” Master Suresh Machu says. “Beyond the initial couple weeks, the sun can still dramatically fade tattoos over time. It is so important to keep sunscreen on tattoos that are exposed to the sun.” So, while in Machu Tattoos, we recommend you to apply Tattoo Protector Cream as vigilant as possible forever, regardless.
5. Bold Design with Negative Space
Minimalist tattoos are gorgeous. But the tattoos that tend to look the best as time goes by are ones with bolder designs. Both the size of these tattoos, plus the thickness of the lines, make them especially long-lasting.
“Bold black text and Greywash tattoos still look badass when they fade,” Suresh Machu says. “It’s kind of like how distressed jeans look cool. This may seem excessive for most people, but planning how a tattoo will look as it ages will be a fist bump to yourself in the future.” Suppose text or traditional tattoos aren’t exactly up your alley. In that case, you can ask your tattoo artist if you can incorporate darker lines or more negative space into your design.
6. Tattoos on the Right Layer of Skin
Going to the right tattoo artist is crucial. Most artists tend to agree that if you’re going somewhere, that’s cheaper, you’ll be skimping out on important quality features. Machu Tattoos follow quality as a key of fundamental to great output. Our artists are more than seven years of experience and handpicked best tattoo artist in India. Choosing the best tattoo studio is an important factor in whether or not your tattoo ages well.
“The appearance of tattoos aging depends on your artists skill mostly,” Suresh Machu says. “Tattoos lay in the dermis of the skin, which is only one millimeter thick. Ensuring the needle hits this one-millimeter layer is requires precision. If your artist goes too deep, then the ink will blowout, and what originally looks like clean lines, over time (not a very long time) will look sloppier.” To make sure your tattoo quality is what you want, make sure you choose the best tattoo artist.
7. Bigger the Tattoo, Longer the Life
Just as important as it is to get a bold enough tattoo if you want it to withstand the test of time, it’s equally important to get a larger one. Your tattoo doesn’t need to cover an entire body part, but it is big enough to not fade in on itself and allow room for touchups. In Machu Tattoos, we recommend tattoo designs of different sizes to our clients. They choose as per their wish even though our artists will recommend the best size for the look wise and longevity wise. Clients have the freedom to choose it.
“If the tattoo has small, tight intricate details, they will be lost with time as the cells change and move,” Suresh Machu says. “When the design is larger, there is more room for displacement and allows the design to still be readable.” As your skin ages, your tattoo will change. Getting a larger design may help you prepare for the way it will look later on.
