There is no average fading time. How your tattoo lasts the test of time depends on how well it was applied by the artist, how well you took care of it during the healing time, and how much sun exposure the tattoo has gotten over the years.

I'm not out there every summer tanning and keep most of my work covered up. I have pieces that are 12 years old that do not need touch ups.

Getting a couple more hours on the ribs done on Wednesday, love when my artist gets cancellations!
