Could be just from fading or aging, some black inks can turn green over time.

  • The Ultra Violet component in sunlight can make tattoos fade and alter the chemical stability of the ink.
  • The skin layers grow and spread the ink reducing its blackness
  • Use of cheap inks
  • Older tatoos will change colour more quickly. Modern Tatoo ink is more stable and UV resistant.
  • The depth that the initial artwork is deposited by the needle will affect colour stability.
