Tattoo You

Dear S.Q. “You know what’s not sexy?” said my wife the day she left me. I thought of a million things because ruining my marriage was my damn fault. “A 60-year-old overweight, alcoholic covered with tattoos.” I was 20 at the time when tattoo artists weren’t really artists. Can I revive my ink? 

Dear Inked, And here I thought you’d be asking about your failed marriage. The best places for tattoos are where there’s the least sun, friction, and skin stretching. Age will accelerate color fading, and excessive details blur over time. Alcohol robs the body of hydration needed to keep ink supple. So see a reputable tattooist and follow their instructions, especially about skin care. Then give your wife her divorce since she’s not even a priority. -SQ
