Signs a tattoo needs restoration
Tattoos change with time. Here is how to tell when yours could use some work, and what to do next.
The color has faded
Colors that were bright now look washed out or grey. This is common with sun exposure and age, and it is one of the most common reasons people look into restoration.
The lines have gone soft
Outlines that were crisp now look blurry or spread out. Small details and lettering can become hard to read. Sharpening the lines can make the whole piece clear again.
It healed patchy
Sometimes a tattoo heals with light spots or gaps where the ink did not settle evenly. Those areas can often be filled in.
You still love the design
Restoration is about bringing back the tattoo you already have. If you still like the design but it no longer looks the way it did, it is worth asking about.
What to do next
Take a clear, well-lit photo of the tattoo and get in touch. We look at the piece, tell you what we see and what can be done. The estimate is free, and we are open 24/7.
