Tattoo lines have disappeared

[Kieran221]

Four weeks ago I had my second tattoo which looked great after being compleated (first image). I followed the aftercare instructions as I did with my last tattoo, but the lines now look completely inconsistent and some of them have even disapeared. Is a problem like this easily repairable with a touch up? What should I do?

call and make an appointment to go see the artist that did it and let that person know your thoughts.

most good artists that I know will happily do a touch-up, for free,

if they do,be sure and tip them.(for cost of supplies)

Tattoos have to be touched up sometimes. No big deal. Still looks good.

What do you tip them? I haven't gotten a touch up yet but I never thought to tip them.

on touchups I might do $30-$60 range, depends on how much they end up doing,

gloves, needles, ink, ink pots, saran,paper towels, etc etc , if you think about it they are using a lot of supplies.

plus  their time.

i'm curious. Did the artist use a machine for the back end or was it hand poked?
