Question

just got one like almost 2 weeks ago it pretty much healed but a few prates still looks a little wrinkly is it to soon to get it touched up and i just realized i wont to add a designn and some color to it is it to soon or am i good to go

Answer 1

u should wait untill its healed because it like a piercing it would hurt and tattoo places wount so wait untill it compeltly healed the do it

Answer 2

I wait 2 weeks in between.  I'm going tomorrow at 12 and my last work was done exactly 2 weeks ago.  It's all in the same area too, i haven't had to touch it up at all yet, but will get a little bit tomorrow and am adding on.  Just depends on how healed you are.  Call your tat artist and see if they can fit you in totake a look.

Answer 3

Generally, tattoos take a month to heal completely. But I feel like a touch up at two weeks would be fine. Call your tattoo artist and ask if you could come in and if he/she suggests to wait, ask how long.

Answer 4

tattoos fully heal within 3 weeks.. im a tattoo artist and generally book people in for touch ups and add ons 3 wks after their ink was done..

some people heal quicker then others tho..

once your tatt has scabbed and they have gone then its healed.. it will be a bit wrinkly for about a week after as tattooed areas dry out quicker. its still safe to tattoo with wrinkly skin, you just have to keep it moist :)

Answer 5

People who get those large tattoos have to go back like a couple of days in a roll to get it done. I don't think it would be a problem to go back. Hey just go where u got it at or call them and ask them.

Answer 6

heyyy I haven't seen in forever!

whats up?

ohh and I don't know anything about tattoos... sorry...

Answer 7

if you arent sure go have your tattoo artist look at it and tell you what he thinks.. they would know more than anyone on here if its healed all the way or not... but you should definately wait until it is fully healed to go back and add to it

Answer 8

It may still be healing.. I'd talk to an artist, honestly.

Answer 9

Since it already been two weeks, you can go ahead and get more worked done. Most tattoo artist say to wait at least a week before adding to a fresh tattoo.

Answer 10

Wait another 2 weeks...that's my two cents
