My husband is a beginner tattoo artist, like my skin tends to hold ink fine but a couple of our friends that he has tattooed he has had to go over 3 to 4 times and he can't figure out why this is.

some people have thicker skin than others. Therefore the tattoo ink goes in easier with less fading and some dont. And some people dont have high pain tolerance.

It depends on what kind of tattoos he's been doing, and his clients complexion. If he's doing tribal he'll find it's one of the most frustrating tattoos to approach. If he's doing tribal... I find it works better if i have more than just one ink cap of solid black, maybe 3-5 caps... and I work at a higher voltage on my power supply... key is to set a nice pace, and don't overwork any area... u don't want to scar anyone. any solid color work should never be guaranteed ... solid black especially... most times some little areas need a touch up.

the answer to ur question is
What is skin elasticity?
sun and specifically UV , damage skin cells making them sag and stretch.
people who stay out of the sun, avoid tanning beds and wear sun screen are more likely to have better skin elasticity,
meaning it holds ink better.

tell him to knock it off. either get an apprenticeship so he can find out how much he doesn't know about tattooing or just keep scarring people with his hit or miss (probably mostly miss) tattoos.
