Touch up worth it?


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Yesterday my forearm got tattoeed after 5/6 years of no tattoos.

This made me compare my tattoo with my old one.

I noticed there is relatively much fading (see the photo).

It made me wonder how much the tattoo will fade more the years to come. Will it stay pretty much the same or will it go noticeably downhill from here?

Do y'all recommend a touch up and if so, will one touch up do the trick for the years to come?

Love to hear what everybody thinks.

yes for sure, the right tattooer can bring it back to life, freshen it up. IMO well worth it.

Thanks for the respons man. Do you think the quality of it will decline a lot more the coming years if I don't?

all tattoos generally degrade over time - especially if they're in the sun quite a bit.

do you have a picture of when it was fresh for reference?

Yes I do, this picture was taken a bit longer then a month after placement.

The graffiti removal is a vital service that helps maintain the cleanliness and appearance of public and private spaces. Graffiti, while often considered an art form, can sometimes appear in unwanted or unauthorized areas, leading to aesthetic degradation and potentially increasing perceptions of urban decay. Graffiti removal services play a crucial role in restoring affected surfaces to their original condition.

Forestalling spray painting in any case is a necessary piece of spray painting the board. Some land owners put resources into hostile to spray painting coatings or movies that make it simpler to eliminate spray painting without making harm the surface under. Furthermore, observation frameworks and further developed lighting can stop miscreants by expanding the gamble of location.

    • First let me say I've never seen exactly that related to tattoos. Second, I am NOT a doctor, so take any advice with a grain of salt and follow it at your own risk. I do have something like that which appears on my face from time to time. After multiple visits to the dermatologist, which didn't fix it, I finally came up with my own treatment. Whenever it flairs up, I just wipe the area down with plain rubbing alcohol three or four times a day to keep it dry. That usually works within a couple of days. Again, I'm not a doctor, but I don't think it would hurt anything for you to try that. Good Luck.
    • Hey, I have a serious problem! I got a tattoo in Manila 4 weeks ago. The artist is very well known and is one of the most renowed. 2 day after tattooing, small pimples began to form on my thight an many at the tattoo. 3 days later i had fever at night (just at night). After that, the pimpels began to spread very quickly all over the body. (back stomach etc..) I have now been to 3 doctors and everyone is at a loss. The blood work is fine and with no anomalies. Antibiotic ointment and cortisone ointment did not help. Xyzall allergy tablets did not help either. When i took cortisone tablets, 90% of the pimpels disappeared on the tattoo, but not on the other parts of the body. Now that I´am no longer taking cortisone, the pimpels on the tattoo are starting to grow back again very quick. On the other parts of the skin , the pimpels are sometimes lighter and sometimes stronger. This can be change hourly. They don´t hurt and hardy lever itch. Of course I´am afraid of a tattoo allergie. Has anyone already had this problem ? Does anyone know what that could be ? I add photos: 1) Photo directly after tattooing. 2) 2 Photos with the pimpels after a week 3) After 3 weeks while taking cortisone. 4) Photo of the body on the left.
