Our Policy on Touch Ups

What's Covered

 

One free touch up

will be offered by the original artist (with the exception of certain areas; read below)

within six months

of the appointment date. To be eligible, proper aftercare must have been followed by the client in accordance with our comprehensive aftercare instruction guide.

​

Failure to adhere to these instructions may result in poor healing and/or a washed-­out looking tattoo (i.e. gaps from skin trauma, fading from sun/tanning beds, etc.) that will be recognizable by your artist. In these cases, touch-­up appointments will be charged at the artist's currently hourly rate.

 

It will be the responsibility of the client to follow up for any touch-up work needed. Because our artists operate as independent contractors, if an artist is no longer working at a Rocky Mountain Tattoo studio, they remain responsible for completing any complimentary touch-up work at their new location, in accordance with the original agreement.

 

​​

What's NOT Covered

​

We do not guarantee tattoos that are done on the hands, wrists, feet, neck, or flexion points as these areas are naturally prone to fading and rejection (especially hands and feet). Traditionally, solid black/fully saturated work/heavy line work tend to hold up best in these areas; whereas delicate soft shading/ultra-fine illustrative/thin line work will not last (and will likely not even stay/heal well after the first pass).​ It's important that you take your artist's advice if they discourage a particular style(s) of work in a certain area.​ Any touch-­up requests for these areas will be at the client's expense, charged at the artist's current hourly rate.

​

We also do not guarantee tattoos done with the use of topical numbing agents. Touch up work requested for tattoos performed using numbing agents will be charged at the artist's current hourly rate.

​

You will be asked to sign off on this via studio contract prior to your appointment.
