Is there a way to lighten the black outline of a tattoo..?

I got a tattoo of an orchid 5 years ago with an overt black outline..

A touchup has helped with the color, but is it possible to get a touchup to lighten up the black outline so I can expand the color more?

    Theres really nothing, short of laser, that will lighten a tattoo. Time will, but that takes years.

    Nope. Nothing covers black...BUT, you could get a red outline just outside the black, but means the tat will be bigger too.

    Please stop torturing your beautiful body with those needles and inks. You are the most beautiful creation of God. You're pretty just the way you are.
