Thanks so much. Really sets my mind at ease!! In 6 weeks or so, MAYBE, I’ll go back and have him re-darken where it’s looking whiter. Of course, by then, everything may even out. I’m SO proud of my new ink. By the way, it’s the Mensa Logo. Cool, huh?
It’ll look a lot better in the long run if you use your touch up. You’ll also need to get it touched up every so often throughout your life. Especially since it’s all black.
A touch up is just that: A touch up. They go back over lines making sure they’re straight (enough) and go back over the darkened areas to make sure they’re going to stay dark for years to come.
Touch ups are just when your artist goes over areas again that was missed during the first session. Just filling certain areas that aren’t filled in. Doesn’t take long unless it’s a huge piece.
@maniac… you don’t really need to get touch ups through out your life with black ink tattoos. I would think this is more so with the people who have color tattoos.
I think 1-2 touch ups for black ink is more than enough.
