Finding a good artist to execute your design is one thing but there are still a number of factors outside the studio that can affect the final appearance of your tattoo. I made a list of things to be aware of for you. Share to someone who might need this and save for later ;))

♤ Direct sun exposure: direct sunlight causes tattoo ink fade faster. If you're going out in the sun, make sure to apply sun screen on your tattoos!
♤ Swimming/soaking in water: this slows down healing process and can make ink soggy. People have unpredictable hygienic patterns. Think about that before skinny dipping in a public pool.
♤ Over applying aftercare ointment: Do not apply too little either. Just a thin layer is fine.

*bonus tips*
♤ Stretching the tattooed area: Please avoid this until your tattoo is fully healed (Yes, this includes working out).
♤ Taking antibiotics: Don't unless prescribed by a doctor. If you are already on antibiotic treatment, you should let your artist know.
♤ Lying on the tattoo: try to adjust your sleeping position for the first week or so.
