After you heal your tattoo, there're ways of preserving it for as long as possible. Keep in mind that this new art piece is now part of your skin, so if you take care of your skin better, your tattoo will look for longer.

The most important thing is to avoid getting too much sun. You can cover your tattoos while outside. But remember never re-bandage/cover a new tattoo that has not fully healed.

Another important thing to prevent is cutting or scratching your tattoo. When you do this, it leaves little white scars over your tattoo that aren't always raised, but do detract from your tattoo. The only way to fix these are by getting it retouched, but matching the ink colors are often times very difficult. Although you cannot prevent every little scratch, it's wise to contemplate ways to lessen the amount of abuse that area of your body receives.
