i got a tattoo on my foot about 3 months ago, and it's already fading a little and isn't as bright as it was. are there any things i can do to enhance the color and keep it looking really good even though it's already done healing?

Avoid sun exposure, even just walking outside for a bit can affect the tattoo, so either use a lotion with spf included or use sunscreen when outside.
If you think it's an issue with the tattoo itself, most reputable places offer free touch-ups.
It could also depend on your natural skin tone. I am very pale and therefore my tattoos appear to be very bright, tanner skin will make them appear more faded and dull. [ denialsam's advice column | Ask denialsam A Question ]
