Even with perfect aftercare, a tattoo touch-up is sometimes needed. It is a normal part of getting tattooed.
When to book one
- After full healing, usually four to six weeks, if small areas look patchy.
- Years later, to refresh blacks and highlights faded by sun.
What causes fading
Sun, friction, picking scabs during healing and placement on hands or feet.
Touch-up or rework?
If you want a bigger change, consider a rework or a cover-up. If you want it gone, see laser tattoo removal.
Keep your tattoo sharp with the tattoo aftercare guide. To book a touch-up, book a consultation.
