Is your tattoo suitable for LUME?
For the most accurate colour checks, turn off display-altering features like Apple’s True Tone or Night Shift and Android’s Adaptive Display or Eye Comfort before using Fade Checker.
-
LUME works best on solid colours and pigments.
Washed-out effects, watercolour styles, or diluted black and grey washes may experience limited results. Because of this we don't recommend you purchase LUME for these types of tattoos.
Tattoos that are new, recently refreshed, or already in good condition will show less visible change than older, more obviously faded work.Use our Fade Guide below to see if your tattoo is a suitable candidate for LUME.

Made a huge difference to my skin within the first few days of using it and a huge difference by the time I was ready for my session. Highly recommend these products.
- SMSophie M.Rated 5 out of 5 starsLove Lume! 🖤
I've been testing LUME on this 5 year old tattoo and was curious to see how would make a difference. After using it consistently, I was pleasantly surprised! The change wasn't instant, but over time I noticed the blacks looked richer overall and more defined. It's given my tattoos a natural refresh. It also kept my skin feeling really hydrated without being greasy, which I loved. Also love the packaging of the product, it has such a premium quality to it. Safe to say LUME has earned a permanent spot in my tattoo care routine 🖤
- CFCraig F.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 starsAmazing Results - Great Product!
I've been using SKINGRAPHICA Lume in combination with SHIELD, focusing primarily on a detailed tattoo on my upper arm that's now around eight years old and was beginning to show its age.
After about a month of using Lume, I've noticed a significant improvement in the tattoo's appearance. The shading has regained detail, which has brought back much of the overall sharpness and definition of the piece. I've also noticed improved clarity around the surrounding line work, with the edges appearing visibly crisper.
The results on the tattoo speak for themselves, but what I really love about these products is the quality of the cream itself. It rubs in easily, spreads smoothly across the skin, and is easy to work into the areas you're targeting. It's non-greasy (Which is a huge must for me personally) and completely fragrance-free, which works perfectly for my skin and doesn't compete with any fragrances I wear throughout the day.
I also feel more confident spending time in the sun when using the SHIELD product. It's easy to apply and gives me added assurance that the restoration from the LUME product will be protected long term.
- KVKostantine V.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 starsThe Game Changer for Old Tattoos
Let's start off with my tattoo, it is the 2nd tattoo I got freshly at 19 and is my favourite! (I took a day off from work to get it!)
I am now 23 and over time, I noticed that it has lost some clarity in the blacks which to me looked a bit blotchy.
As I began to use LUME for the recommended time period, I observed noticeable improvements in the vibrancy of the blacks and overall smoothness in the tattoo area.
It miraculously brought my tattoo back in time, allowing me and others to obersve it again in a new light!
Some highlights of LUME include, quick absorption into the skin, the packaging, the quick shipping and overall luxurious feel of the product!
Thank you skingraphica for breathing new life into my tattoo!
- JSJon S.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 starsGreat product
I recently tried Lume from Skingraphica and honestly couldn’t believe the difference it made to my tattoos. It genuinely brought my tattoo back to life — It looks brighter, the blacks look deeper, and the whole piece looks fresh again.
I didn’t think it was possible for a product to make such a noticeable improvement, especially on older tattoos, but I was seriously impressed after using it. It absorbs well, isn’t greasy, and leaves your skin feeling great.
Highly recommend to anyone wanting to refresh and maintain their tattoos. Definitely a 5-star product in my opinion!
