What is a touch-up session?
A touch-up session is a short appointment — usually 30 to 60 minutes — booked weeks to months after the original tattoo, to reinforce saturation and sharpen any details that healed unevenly.
Most artists offer a free touch-up within a defined window (often 3 to 6 months) if the client followed proper aftercare.
Examples
- Reinforcing a colour that faded during healing
- Sharpening a line on a high-movement area
- Final polish on a large piece
