Not all tattoos need a retouch. It’s normal that the tattoo lines get a bit irregular and fades after the tattoo heals. Your tattoo needs a retouch when, for example, due to your skin’s natural healing process, some parts of the tattoo disappear or its lines become too irregular.
You can observe that right after the tattoo has healed, which is around two months after the tattoo session.
You should also take into consideration that it’s not recommended to get more ink in a tattoo that doesn’t need to be retouched, as it can spread more. If you need help deciding if your tattoo needs to be retouched, send a picture of your tattoo or come by the studio and we’ll help you.
Your tattoo can be retouched only when it is fully healed. For small tattoos, it usually takes one to two months. Around two months after the tattoo session, if you think you need a touch-up, contact your tattoo artist and send a clear picture of how the healed tattoo looks like.
The first retouch is usually free of cost. You should contact your tattoo artist no more than two to three months after the tattoo session to let them know you want a retouch.
DOES IT HURT AND HOW DOES IT HEAL?A tattoo touch-up is like a regular tattoo process, so you might experience similar pain as the first tattoo. Likewise, the retouch will heal like a tattoo and requires the same aftercare and healing period.
If you go by subway, drop off at Rådhuset station (blue line) and follow the exit “Kungsholmsgatan“.
It is also about 15 minutes walking distance from T-Centralen.
