​

What if I need a touch up on my tattoo?

  • Fine line tattoos often use thinner lines and delicate details. Over time, the ink may settle unevenly, causing some lines to appear lighter or less defined. Touch-ups can refresh and reestablish the lines' clarity and intensity.

  • All tattoos are subject to fading over time due to exposure to UV rays, skin regeneration, and other factors. Fine line tattoos are no exception. 

  • Skin type, lifestyle, and overall health can influence how a tattoo holds its color. Some people's skin may naturally absorb or metabolize ink faster.

  • The need for touch-ups varies from person to person and depends on factors like the quality of the original tattoo work, how well the tattoo is cared for, and the individual's skin type.

  • Finger tattoos, it's common for them to require touch-ups more frequently than tattoos in less exposed and less mobile areas, frequent handwashing is essential for hygiene but can also contribute to tattoo fading. Soap and water can gradually break down the tattoo. Fingers are often exposed to sunlight, and UV rays can break down tattoo ink. 

​

Do you offer corrections on tattoos?

  • The first step is to assess the existing tattoo, understanding its condition, color, design, and any issues that need correction. I will need to evaluate whether it's feasible to achieve the desired result based on the current tattoo. 

  • Achieving the desired result may require multiple sessions, we may need to layer new pigments and design elements to effectively correct or enhance the tattoo.

  • Clients should have realistic expectations about the results. While many corrections and enhancements are possible, there are limitations to what can be achieved, especially with very old or deeply ingrained tattoos. If you're inquiring of a correction of an old tattoo, please submit a message to info@kimlayson.com to get a consultation.
