HOW DO I KNOW IF MY TATTOO NEEDS A TOUCH-UP?
Not all tattoos need a retouch. It’s normal that the tattoo lines get a bit irregular and fades after the tattoo heals. Your tattoo needs a retouch when, for example, due to your skin’s natural healing process, some parts of the tattoo disappear or its lines become too irregular.
You can observe that right after the tattoo has healed, which is around two months after the tattoo session.

You should also take into consideration that it’s not recommended to get more ink in a tattoo that doesn’t need to be retouched, as it can spread more. If you need help deciding if your tattoo needs to be retouched, send a clear picture of your tattoo to your artist and they will help you decide ^^

HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT TO GET A TOUCH-UP?
Your tattoo can be retouched only when it is fully healed. For small tattoos, it usually takes one to two months. Around two months after the tattoo session, if you think you need a touch-up, contact your tattoo artist and send a clear picture of how the healed tattoo looks like.

HOW MUCH DOES A TOUCH-UP COST?
The first retouch is usually free of cost if done with the same artist. You should contact your tattoo artist no more than two to three months after the tattoo session and let them know you want a retouch.

DOES IT HURT AND HOW DOES IT HEAL?
A tattoo touch-up is like a regular tattoo process, so you might experience similar pain as the first tattoo. Likewise, the retouch will heal like a tattoo and requires the same aftercare and healing period.
