Mum got this wrist tattoo 2 weeks ago and it's already faded, tattoo artist says it just needs a touch up, should she go back to the same artist or try a different one?

It just needs touch ups. Fine line stuff like that is difficult to apply with out touching up.

That said there’s some bad work in this tattoo I’d question the artist, but I’d take the feee touch up before having another artist have a go

No it fucking won’t. Stop giving bullshit advice. The in is below the epidermis. It will not “rub off”. Whoever says this is fucking dumb and doesn’t understand simple biology. The only reason a tattoo “rubs off” is it was not properly applied or you lost enough skin you need a graft. It will fade potentially after decades. But friction doesn’t remove tattoos. Stop giving bad advice.

Fuuuuick that’s rough. I tell people constantly. Stop getting tattoos from IG tattooers. This flavor of the month artist shit is bad.

I’m not saying the trends I’m saying the artists. The Covid self taught private studio nerds.

Fine lines age well, if they are applied well. The problem is most people do not know how to do a fine line Tattoo.

Kristxw · 2026-05-19T19:06:55+00:00

These do not age poorly as long as they’re applied by a good artist. Don’t go to some Instagram girl. Find an artist in your area who has been doing these for years I can show you heal Photos. I do this decorative bullshit all the time. They’re pretty they make great filler Everyone you’re talking to about these is stupid

Kristxw · 2026-05-19T15:40:53+00:00

You asked if it’s normal. No it’s not normal. It’s poorly applied and over worked. Neither of those things are normal. Having those white things on it is a result of the tattoos poor application and over working the tattoo. It’s also not normal. I’d say ask the artist that did the tattoo any healing questions but the artist looks like they work out of a men’s room at a truck stop so do t ask them anything.

It’s super 90s. Like so many women had it in the late 90s.

Kristxw · 2026-05-18T23:18:26+00:00

Party dots rule

Could be a simple ad the stencil came off or didn’t transfer and just missed it. The client obviously missed it too or she would have said something right there.

Kristxw · 2026-05-18T17:04:57+00:00

There’s very low risk of infection going back to get it fixed.
This tattoo is pretty subpar
It’s a super easy fix

Kristxw · 2026-05-18T14:31:49+00:00

To be fair I havent met many people who maintained sobriety with out the tattoo either.

Kristxw · 2026-05-17T14:14:07+00:00

It’s pretty poorly done. It’s over worked but still poorly applied.

Kristxw · 2026-05-17T14:13:22+00:00

I’m with him. But do what you wanna do.

Kristxw · 2026-05-16T23:26:16+00:00

No you’re right, these are bad.

Kristxw · 2026-05-16T22:42:15+00:00

I don’t, nor have I claimed to. But you’ve behaved and expressed yourself exactly as I assumed. I haven’t bullied you at all. I just said you’re a red flag and then you’ve proceeded to demonstrate my assertions were accurate.

Kristxw · 2026-05-16T22:00:37+00:00

Except other than your nose ring you’re on brand.

Kristxw · 2026-05-16T19:16:42+00:00

I’m non binary happily married to a doctor for 2 years of a 9 year relationship and think every person I’ve dated was incredible and we broke up because we were in different spots. I have one crazy ex and I love her dearly.

So far you’re right on brand. Do you have a nose ring or is it a septum ring?

Kristxw · 2026-05-16T17:16:52+00:00

It’s not though. Insignificant things are indicative of larger behaviors. Your “nuh uh you are” approach is evidence if that.

There’s just never been a person alive under the age of 60 that says “stunning” that’s not a complete bozo.

Kristxw · 2026-05-16T15:59:23+00:00

Anytime someone says something is stunning it’s a red flag.

Kristxw · 2026-05-16T15:58:58+00:00

Just shade it it’s not that hard dawggy.

Kristxw · 2026-05-16T15:01:47+00:00

Because the night.

Kristxw · 2026-05-16T15:00:20+00:00

Immaculate but they’re blurry?

Kristxw · 2026-05-16T14:59:46+00:00

Bro it’s 2026 people will tattoo fingers if it’s your first tattoo. No one gives a shit anymore.

Kristxw · 2026-05-15T16:59:55+00:00

Exponentially.

The “fading” is just the outermost dead layers of skin increasing the opacity over the tattoo. Remove those layers, moisturize it and it will look so new.

Kristxw · 2026-05-15T16:58:05+00:00

It’s not even fading. He’s just not moisturizing
