Quote[/b] ]how do they look in say 30 years time? That is, do they go all blurred and do the colours fade? Interested to know.

How long tattoos last in perfect condition actually depends alot on the tattoist's skills. How is tattoo is able to maintain colour is that it is located between the dermis and epidermis layers of the skin.

So a good tattoist able to insert ink directly into this area and not too deep or shallow will result in a long-lasting tattoo. A tattoo too deep will cause natural oil in the body to water and blur the tattoo. A tattoo too shallow will wash out after a few years.

Anyway to intensify a fading tattoo, you can actually get enhancements. Going to a tattoist to tattoo on the fading spots in your original tattoo.
