A 12-month touch-up is a follow-up appointment that is typically scheduled around one year after an initial cosmetic tattooing procedure. This touch-up is done to refresh and maintain the appearance of the tattooed area, as the pigment may have faded over time. During the appointment, the technician will assess the color, shape, and overall condition of the tattoo and make any necessary adjustments or enhancements. The 12-month touch-up helps to ensure the longevity and desired look of the cosmetic tattoo, providing a fresh and vibrant result. The specifics of the touch-up process will depend on the individual's unique needs and the initial results achieved.
