Touch Up Policies

HEALING

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

One free touch up is permitted for black ink tattoos within 3 months of your original appointment date (exclusions apply for coloured ink, hand, neck, ear, feet tattoos). A photo will be required of your healed tattoo to book this in, it must be a clear photo in good natural lighting. If it is believed a touch up is not required, this will be advised by the artist. 

 

Please note that very fine-line tattoos heal lighter than thicker lined pieces, if you are wanting a bolder tattoo the lines will need to be much thicker than the majority of work on Elyshas page and discussed prior to tattooing.  

 

You may be charged an additional $50 - $100+ for the touch-up if: 

  • it is believed the aftercare instructions were not followed correctly;

  • this is a touch up for coloured ink, or the following locations: hands, fingers, feet, neck, or ears

  • you cancel or reschedule your touch up appointment within 48 hours;

  • you cancel or reschedule more than once;

  • you are a no-show to your appointment.
