Tattoo fade or distortion

[ligatortat]

Does anyone have tattoos that have faded or become a bit distorted over time because they are located on crease lines on the wrist or elbow? How often are touch ups usually needed in these areas?

tattoos go through many stages while healing,and they take months to heal,they will never look like the day you had it put on,EVER again.I have both knees and both wrists and both elbows covered and they do not look any different than my other tattoos.even after years,

after the healing is done,

1)keep it out of the sun or use sunblock forever. 

2)keep daily lotion like aveeno on them forever.
