Statement

Tattoos are defined by their permanence—yet few consider how ink evolves on living skin. 'Fade Factors' is a poster series that shines light on the influences that cause tattoos to fade and blur, from sun exposure and body placement to natural human immune response. Sometimes, tattoo settings can be intimidating, and consultations can lack visually-rich, science-backed information. By blending contemporary research and practitioner insights, this project demystifies the aging process behind tattoos. In doing so, 'Fade Factors' empowers clients and artists alike to make informed decisions that honor both personal expression and long-term visual impact, fostering a more transparent, collaborative tattoo culture.
