i got my tattoo about a week ago and the colour is kind of fading......i took good care of it no sunrays no water.....but da coloyr is fading.......will da touchup make it look new again tell me plz im soo woried
I wouldnt bother with a touch up ..its probably the scabbin of the tattoo its all part of the healing process...touch up later in life i say happy healing :)
It could be the healing or it could be the artist. It takes a lot of skill to put in bold colors that stick. you could go back to the same artist after its healed for a touch up, but they may be the problem in which case you will need to find an experianced tattoo artist to rework the tattoo.
Yea that's why you get the touch up, it won't take as long because the tat is already on you, but it will look nice and new, and the artist may add little details that make it look even better.
