[lang=da]Hey guys, i was just wondering if a serious blow to a tattoo can damage it? Im not talking cuts, wounds or scrabs but just pure impact. I got both me arms tattooed and over the years i have bumped into all sort of things. Yesterday while taking a shower i was changing the music and when i wanted to step back into the shower i walked right into the edge of a wall with the 90 degree tip of the wall hitting right into my tattoo, making it swell up and hurt pretty bad but no wounds.
I just thinking if the force of the impact can fade the ink when a grown man’s body is put to stop and all that energy is stopped by the tattoo.

Absolutely no idea. Interesting thought though, bruising is the fracturing of blood capillaries, I guess it’s possible tracers of ink could be dislodged and washed out? Doubt you’d really notice it, but, dunno?
Welcome to the forum!
I think a bruise goes deeper than a tattoo, and as a bruise usually clears up with no scar or remaining marks, I think you’ll be okay. But like Panter said, dunno?
[lang=da]Thanks Sam 🙂
Hmm so only wounds can hurt a tattoo? Not a hard bump/smack/blow?[/lang]
Tattoos are durable.
My first “technical” tattoo I got was in the third grade. I got stabbed in the thumb with a pencil. Graphite remained in the wound and is still visible today, almost 50 years later.
No, a bump isn’t going to affect your tattoo.
[lang=da]So its safe to say that only wounds and cuts can do damage/alter the tattoo?[/lang]
