Cocky76 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hey I got my tattoo on may 30th so it's been exactly 2 weeks today. Most of the tattoo is healing as expected with no residual scabs and all smooth. The issue is I noticed 2 areas that are still scabbed over where it looks like he actually cut the skin. Running my fingers over the areas you can feel they are deep and well, feel like a cut. So, I know it needs a touch-up and I have to wait at least a month for that if there was no cuts but I'm not sure how long I should wait for the cut areas to heal before I get it touched up?

SStu Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 4-6 weeks to completely heal. I wouldn't get any touch-ups before then, even if needed. oboogie and Princess Sparkle Mittens 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8453-my-artist-cut-me-how-long-does-it-take-to-heal/#findComment-143383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Sparkle Mittens Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I had that happen on one of my tattoos and it actually healed well and didn't need touchups.

Cocky76 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Yeah, I wouldn't consider getting a touch-up before a month. I was just wondering how long to wait until it's safe with the damage to the skin. And it's definitely going to need a touch-up as the K is supposed to be solid and it's definitely not.

Gingerninja Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 You will know when the time is right but don't rush anything.
