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. 
Please please please save up for a professional tattoo artist when getting a touch up. Please also consider doing a bit of research and talk to the artists about what you want first. Don’t get me wrong, the idea is super cool but I see scars, crooked lines and ink that didn’t stay where it should have.
All the best!
Agreed
