Touch Up Policies

HEALING

It is your responsibility to look after your tattoo when it is finished. Failure to do so may result in a distorted/faded/patchy result.

All tattoos heal lighter/duller than the bright and intense black/colour of when it was first done. This is because when you are tattooed, the ink is deposited underneath the first layer of skin; as the tattoo heals, the first layer of skin heals back over the top of the ink and mutes the colour. This is a completely normal and expected change to the tattoo. Even if it was re-done, the skin will still grow back over the top and heal the lighter colour. This is part of getting a tattoo. Very fineline tattoos heal even lighter due to the thinness of the lines and contrast to the skin, if you are wanting a heavier tattoo, you will need to have a thicker lined design.

TOUCH UP POLICY

If you follow the aftercare, a touch-up should not be required. Fine-line tattoos heal more grey due to their thin lines; if you are wanting a bolder tattoo, the lines will need to be thicker than the work on Elyshas' page and discussed prior to tattooing. Please note, your skin will have natural discrepancies as it is an organic matter.

Failure to look after your tattoo will result in a distorted/faded/patchy result. A touch up due to negligence of aftercare incurs a $150+ fee and may result in the tattoo not looking as good as it could have been.

If a touch-up is needed, you’ll notice it within 4-8 weeks after your appointment. One free touch-up is available for black ink tattoos if booked and completed within 3 months of your original appointment (exclusions apply, see below).

Please reach out within 6-8 weeks of your appointment to schedule your touch-up, as bookings fill up quickly. A photo of your healed tattoo will be required, and the tattoo must be fully healed (6-8 weeks post-appointment) before the touch-up can be done. If the artist determines a touch-up isn’t necessary, you’ll be advised accordingly.

You will be charged an additional $50+ fee for the touch-up if:

It is a touch-up for colored or grey-wash ink.
It is on hands, wrists, fingers, ankles, feet, neck, or ears.
No free touch up appointments on weekends.
You cancel or reschedule your touch-up appointment outside the 48 hours.
The touch-up is outside the 3-month period ($150 - full recharge)
Aftercare was not followed/negligence during healing ($150 - full recharge)
You want the lines thicker ($150 - full recharge)
You cancel or reschedule more than once. ($150 - full recharge)
You are a no-show to your appointment. ($150 - full recharge)

All free touch-ups are subject to artist availability, and clients are responsible for reaching out and securing an appointment within the timeframe.

Please note: Policies are subject to change at any time.
By paying a booking fee or proceeding with your appointment, you agree to the current terms and conditions at the time of booking. Policies are updated periodically to reflect evolving studio practices and to ensure the best experience for both client and artist.
