1.Wear sunblock every day on your tattoos as well as any part of the body exposed to the sun.
2. Moisturize your skin every day - that means men, too! Right after you shower lock in the moisture already on your skin with a layer of emollient lotion. This time of year, if you skip the moisturizer your skin is itching and dry again in no time.
3. When not showing them off, keep your tattoos completely covered for the best color protection. Darker, more tightly woven fabrics provide a better armor than light-colored clothing. Consider clothing specially designed with sun-protecting properties.
4.Put your clothes to the test: If you can see through it when you hold it up to the light, then UV radiation can penetrate it and your skin.
5.Keep your skin healthy ,eat right and drink lots of water to keep your skin elastic and hydrated. Dry, flaky skin is unattractive. Dry, flaky tattoed skin isn't any better.

Why tattoo ink fade
tattoos can easily fade without proper protection. Some tattoos are small and simple, others so large and intricate they can cost thousands and sometimes even tens of thousands of dollars to create. tattoos are amazing works of art That puts body art in the category of fine art.
Don't Be Fooled - Clothing Doesn't Always Protect Tattoos!
You may think your tattoos are safe from the sun because you hide them under clothing. But according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, harmful UV rays can penetrate certain materials, leaving your skin - and your tattoos - vulnerable. One of the poorest performers is that white T-shirt you
slip on at the beach or pool when you feel your skin burning. It provides an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 7, whereas a long-sleeved dark denim shirt offers an estimated UPF of 1,700 which amounts to a complete sunblock. (We've all heard of SPF (Sun Protection Factor) ratings for sunscreens; now there's UPF, which measures the amount of UV radiation that penetrates a fabric and reaches the skin.)
Museums Do not Hang Their Art in the Sun
And you should not hang your body art in the sun either, without strong protection.
Here's why:：
1.Ink color will fade over time no matter what, but the sun's UV rays (UVA and UVB) accelerates color loss.
2. The sun tans and/or burns the top layer of the skin, making it harder to see through to the tattoo below. It's a little like looking at your tattoos through tinted glass.
3. The sun prematurely ages the skin causing wrinkling, a leathery texture and brown spots not exactly a great canvas for your art.
4. The sun, wind, swimming pool chlorine, and indoor heating during winter dry out the skin, creating a dull finish that robs your tattoos of their vibrancy.

Channing Tatum’s One Matching Tattoo
Channing Tatum is considered one of the most attractive actors in Hollywood. The young, muscular star is very talented, and he is also known for his skills as a professional dancer, as well as his athletic abilities and his short modelling career. Channing has played a variety of roles in myriad films, ranging from action flicks to romantic dramas and even comedies. His versatility as an actor keeps him in demand, and he already has several years of experience behind him, along with a very bright future ahead.
While he has been seen with many tattoos, ranging in size from small to large, and inked on all over his arms and torso, many times, these tattoos are nothing more than fake ones that were painted on for specific roles he has had to play in his movies. While some fans may be disappointed to find that he does not have many tattoos in real life, others are glad to see he is keeping his body clean of ink.
Meeting His Wife
Channing Tatum met his wife, Jenna Dewan, while they were both acting the lead roles in the film Step Up. After the movie was completed and released, they maintained their relationship and later married in Malibu in 2009. They then went on a short honeymoon to Bali, where they thought they would enjoy paradise together for a while, but things did not go according to plan at all. In the end, though, that is where Channing got his one and only tattoo.
The Story Behind the Tattoo
While Channing and his wife Jenna never imagined that they would end up spending their honeymoon getting matching tattoos, that is exactly what happened after their trip took a major turn for the worse. On the very first day of their journey, Channing ended up coming down with food poisoning, and a couple of days later, Jenna, too, fell ill.
To make the best of such a terrible situation, the couple decided to get matching tattoos to commemorate the experience and to maintain a healthy sense of humour about it. While other people may not have been so happy with this kind of honeymoon situation, Channing and Jenna really did not let it get to them.
The Matching Tattoo
The matching tattoo that Channing got with his wife is a very simple one that simply reads “Side by Side.” But just because they got matching tattoos does not mean that they got them on the same body parts. Instead, Jenna got the tattoo on her foot while Channing got his inked onto the top of his ribcage. But the phrase is actually written in Balinese, making it look more interesting than a typical tattoo of just a phrase, and Channing has even joked that it may not really say “side by side” after all.
Matching Ring Finger Tattoos
Channing and Jenna may also have yet another set of matching tattoos, this time on their ring fingers. The tattoos reportedly say “Twin” in white ink, but we have yet to find photos of these tattoos to be absolutely sure they exist.
