Hi there. Wondering if anyone can tell if my tattoo is ready for a touch up. This is my first. The artist expected I would want a touch up, due to the difficultly of the gold color. Am I ready to get a touch up?

The artwork is a badge from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I used a real magnetic badge made by Fansets as my reference.

ADDITIONAL PHOTO: For better clarity here is an additional photo in sunlight. I have just applied lotion within the last half hour this was taken.

Man, I'm gonna echo everyone and tell you to find a real artist. I've got a tattoo that's damn near thirty years old that is in better shape than this. A lot better shape.

Don't let whatever hack did that take another go at your skin.
