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.

It's a local brand so unless you're Finnish it wouldn't help you much, but you can just get any scar cream from a pharmacy. Some of them are silicone-based, some are a mix of zinc and silicones, and some are mainly just zinc, but any of them will probably do fine as long as it's medical grade.
