Tattoo correction

Do not think that in order to get yourself a tattoo, you just have to go to the master once. Not always everything ends with a single visit.

The process of tattooing is quite difficult and time-consuming. Sometimes even professionals cannot achieve the perfect picture the first time.

Quite often, after the edema subsides, you may notice some shortcomings in the work. Such as curved lines, poorly colored areas in the drawing. In addition, even a perfectly made tattoo is destined to lose its brightness and clarity over time.

Therefore, tattoo adjustment is a fairly common process and is part of the work of any artist.

Correction of primary defects usually comes in two weeks after tattooing. At this time, the swelling subsides, the skin area is no longer as painful as in the first days.

At the same time, all the shortcomings become clearly visible to the master. Usually, this partial correction is free of charge and does not take very long. In addition, any self-respecting master, necessarily after the procedure for applying a tattoo, appoints the client a date for an examination in order to assess the quality of the filled drawing.

After a long time, the client will need a second correction and there may be several reasons for this.

  • For some reason, the client had an injured part of his body, on which the tattoo was previously stuffed.
  • The colors fade over time, the drawing becomes indistinct and the tattoo loses its former attractiveness.
  • Due to age-related changes, the client's body has suffered some deterioration. For example, the weight has increased dramatically and the borders of the picture "floated".
  • Sometimes a client, for whatever reason, wants to remove the old tattoo from his body.

In these cases, the client will have to pay the foreman for the service rendered to him. And the correction procedure can take quite a long time.

It will be especially expensive and long if the client wants to completely remove the tattoo and interrupt in this place something new and more relevant to him.

A laser device will be used for removal.

Usually, they partially remove some elements of the old image that cannot be masked. The master will need to come up with a new sketch of the drawing, which will harmoniously combine with the old elements.

The new tattoo stuffed on top of the old one will in any case be larger in size. In addition, the new image will have a darker color than before.
