TOUCH-UP POLICY

Last Updated: May 11, 2026

Realistic Expectations & Touch-Up Policy

We want you to have realistic expectations for your new art. Every skin type reacts differently to ink, and the healing process is a unique journey for every individual.

The "Healed Look"

Fine-line and minimalistic tattoos have a specific look once healed. They often do not look like solid, “stamped” outlines—this is completely normal for tattoos in general and simply more noticeable on delicate work. Our goal is a piece that looks integrated and natural on your skin.

Red Ink & Minimalist Trends

This is especially relevant for red ink tattoos, which are very popular right now. Red outlines naturally have a less “solid” look than black ones. Please prepare for this specific aesthetic if you choose red pigment.

OUR TERMS

1. Complimentary Touch-Up

We offer one free touch-up for up to 2 years after your tattoo was completed. This includes a fix of specific faded elements rather than a full refreshing of the entire tattoo.

Exclusions:

  • High-Wear Placements: Tattoos on the lower wrist (closest to the hand), hands, fingers, palms, ears, face, feet, and lower ankles are prone to fading. While these usually heal fine, we cannot offer free touch-ups for these specific areas due to the nature of the skin there.
  • Skin Condition & Sun Exposure: Free touch-ups do not apply to tattoos done on aged skin, sunburned skin, relatively fresh scars, or skin affected by psoriasis.

The “Bali Factor”: We strongly advise against sun exposure for 1–3 weeks before your session. Even if there is no redness, tanned skin is tougher and has a “defense structure” that significantly affects the healing process of fine-line work.

2. International "Traveler’s Insurance"

As almost all our customers are tourists and may not be able to return to Bali for a touch-up, we offer a money-back option so you can have it fixed where you are currently located.

  • The Refund: This is limited to 300k IDR.

  • Why this amount? This covers our basic material and medical-grade setup expenses for a single session.

  • Note: We do not take responsibility for the specific pricing or hourly rates charged by other tattoo studios in other countries.
