Will my tattoo fade?
Our skilled artists will apply techniques to ensure the best possible quality of your tattoo, yet it is natural that it will lose its sharpness over time. This is due to a variety of factors.

Aside from natural aging and skin regeneration, the level of care you apply will affect the durability of your tattoo. We advise always using a high SPF sun cream on your tattoo (even in the British sun!) and keeping a good skin care routine, such as applying moisturiser and regularly drinking water to keep your body hydrated.

Listen to your artist and follow their aftercare advice on the correct techniques and products – the immediate healing stage is crucial to maintaining the quality of your tattoo. Check out our blog for more details.

Fineline tattoos can often need touch-ups. The first touch-up is usually included in the initial tattoo price unless stated otherwise.
