Do Tattoos Fade Over Time? (2024)

Is tattoo fading a thing?

Yes, your tattoo can fade over time. There are two main culprits when it comes to how quickly your tattoos fade: aging and sun damage.

It doesn’t matter how careful you are, your tattoo will fade. However, there are some easy things you can do to try and avoid faded tattoos and help keep your tattoo looking fresh for longer. Making sure you use an experienced tattoo artist and proper aftercare of the tattooed skin during the healing process can help increase your tattoo's longevity and prevent tattoos from fading.

If you’re hoping that an unwanted permanent tattoo will eventually fade completely, then that probably won't be the case. While your changing skin will affect the shape and color of your tattoo over time, although this can be less likely with black and grey tattoos, it will rarely completely disappear.

To completely remove your tattoo in thefastest time possible, it’s best to consider laser treatment. At NAAMA, we use aunique laser technologycalled LightSense®, which gently removes your tattoo using the most advanced system in the world.
