In the perfect world, tattoos are meant to last forever. You pick a design that represents your personality, and you wear it on the sleeve happily ever after. But in real life, some tattoos don’t hold up as time goes by. It’s common for small tattoos to blur in a decade or even in a few years. And colors fade, especially on the area more exposed to the sun, such as the hand. And for some, their tattoos fail to represent them any longer. For example, you may have a name tattoo from a relationship that ends. Or your aesthetics change, and it doesn’t make sense to wear the ink you don’t like anymore. So what to do when you no longer like your old tattoo? You either remove it, retouch or cover it up.
