Touch-up
An additional session to correct minor healing flaws or reinforce color and linework once the tattoo has fully healed.
It's normal for a small portion of the ink not to settle evenly during healing, leaving subtle gaps. A touch-up fixes this once the area is fully healed, usually 30 to 60 days after the original session. Many artists offer the first touch-up for free within a set window, and charge for touch-ups requested after that period or for natural fading over the years.
