I don't like all those tats either, but for some reason I follow this one on IG

The artist (the professional ones ) should give you some ointment and instructions for the first two weeks on how to properly treat it. You don't want to wash the spot longer than 5 minutes for 2 weeks and it should be given ointment once a day during this time. This allows the tattoo to properly heal. Those two weeks are crucial because if you treat it right, the ink will last longer and there will be no need for any retouches which again, a pro would offer if needed.

Oh, so tattoos have to be maintained? See, I never knew that. Just out of curiosity, how does one take care of one's tattoos?

I think the other thing that helps or should help is that most Black people still use lotion or some kind of skin moisturizer after a bath or shower, where as most non-people of color do not. That helps with look of the tattoo, also we don't generally hang out in the sun, so we don't get that leathering of our skin; which can also make a tattoo look bad or discolored.

Also note: A lot of people have tattoos that looks like someone used a sharpie. Those are the ones done buy people that received training in the most ratchet places (I'm being nice about it). I guess we all have to start somewhere huh? LOL! I think in general and because of the now popularity of tattoos people are much better about it but again I stress research the artist, check out his or her portfolio and be creative.
