Are tattoos supposed to get lighter once they've healed?

Question

My tattoo is shedding and the colors are becoming brighter is this normal?

Answer 1

Yes,

Once your skin is healed it will act like normal skin again, only beautiful inked skin. Keeping your skin moisturized will make your tat look brighter,and stay brighter for years to come.

Answer 2

totally normal for the color to become brighter. you figure the tatoo has been sitting unde a scab which made it look lighter and because of he swelling, it may look a little smaller once completely healed. use baby oil on it to keep the brightness. to keep it from fading, stay away from tanning booths and keep it out of sunlight. after a few years, the color will naturally fade but as long as you keep lotioning it, it should stay pretty bright.
