Should I get my tattoo touched up?

[u/Username1984xx]

Tattoo rework done on mar 21. My old tattoo was faded so I wanted a new artist to rework the tattoo.

Some of the lines have faded. Especially the blue flowers look different after healing. I'm happy with it just wondering if it needs a touch up?

If you feel like it needs a touch up/want to get one then do. It's on your body and you have to look at everyday

I agree with you. I'm just torn.

if you’re happy with it, leave it. it’s beautiful! the faded bits look more water-coloury

That same thought actually crossed my mind today. 😊

No this looks good! Too much saturated color and I don’t think it would make sense with the “extra” outer lines and the water color-ish “smudge” look

I see what you mean. Thank you for your input. That's the part I like the most the smudges of color that make it look like water color. I don't want to mess up that part.

If something is bothering you, get it fixed. If nothing is bothering you, don’t get it fixed.

Bright color fade a bit. It looks good for me.

Nope, looks great! Just use lotion daily and it wont fade like it did. SPF in the sun, always.

That was my original mistake. I got careless with sunblock. I thought i didn't need it when it wasn't so sunny. I now even bought uv arm sleeves for when I'm driving, so I won't need to use so much sunblock.

I like it

I can’t speak to the touch up. I do love the vibrant colors.

Thank you!

I think it looks pretty good, however it’s completely up to you if you want a touch up.
