For the longest time, people have spoken volumes about who they are as a person through their expression in the types of tattoos that they choose. However what you don't know is that things change. For the most part tattoos are a permanent fixture on your body, however the look of the tattoo may actually change as you get older.

The tattoo may fade as you get older, it may shrink as you gain weight, stretch and it may even start to age as you do. If you are an avid tanner that may also affect how the tattoo looks. Another big thing that affects the way your tattoo looks is whether you have taken the time to take care of your tattoo. The better you care for it, the longer it will be vibrant and healthy looking for you.

Of course, the worst thing you can do to your tattoo is to constantly have it out in the sun. The sun is notorious for making these tattoos fade and look old. If you are going sun bathing, it would be a good idea to cover up your tattoo so that they keep their color. Additionally remember the better you treat it while it is first healing, the better it will look for you when you get older. Don't let time get in the way of you having a great tattoo.
