The reasons that the tattoo does not hold, maybe a few:
- Improper care after the procedure;
- Substandard materials. In this case, the option in which the pigments just fade away will become the lesser of the evils. Dye of dubious quality can get an unexpected color - blue, green, pink. Such a tattoo will only have to be removed;
- Dye rejection by the body - A rare case, but there is a place to be;
- Late correction. Within a month after the procedure of tattooing it is necessary to make a correction. The fact is that the dye immediately after the introduction appears as brightly as possible - in most women 70%, but most often 50% of the pigment's own color. If on blondes the muted shade looks natural, then the owners of dark skin need to make the shade brighter.
