What's Covered
We will provide ONE free touch up (with the exception of certain areas; read below) within the first year following the appointment as long as proper aftercare was followed by the client in accordance with our aftercare instructions.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in poor healing and/or a washed-out looking tattoo (i.e. Fading from sun/tanning beds, Gaps from skin trauma (i.e. picking at the skin, taking off second skin to early) etc.) that will be recognizable by your artist. In these cases, touch-ups will be done at the expense of the client.
Please note that certain tattoos may be eligible for more than one free touch up within the first year. It is best to reach out or discuss with your artist.
It will be the responsibility of the client to follow up for any touch-up work if needed.
What's NOT Covered
We do not guarantee tattoos that are done on the hands, wrists, feet, neck, fingers or flexion points as these areas are naturally prone to fading and rejection of the ink (especially hands, wrists, fingers, feet and neck). Typically, solid black/fully saturated tattoos or thick line work tend to hold up best in these areas; whereas delicate soft shading/ultra-fine, illustrative/thin line work tend to not always hold up the best due to the constant movement and use of these areas.
It's important that you take your artist's advice if they discourage a particular style(s) of work in a certain area.
Any touch-up requests for these areas will be at the expense of the client.
You will be asked to sign off on this on our waiver prior to your appointment.
