Recently I had someone who I consider a scratcher artist talk my ear off for a 3 hour car ride (had to hear it there and back, 3 hours each way) and though I discarded everything else she said, one thing sounded like it might be worth some credit. I still don't trust her enough to try it before I asked for more opinions on it, since I don't know a damn thing about tattoos.

She said that if you put drawing salve over a fully healed tattoo, cover it and then take it off (I don't remember if she said a particular amount of time), it'll draw the ink up to the surface of your skin and make it look brighter.

She also said not to do it more than two or three times, as it'll make the ink fade faster, since it's closer to the sun.

Any thoughts?
