Refreshing old tattoos in Wieluń

Tattoos change over time – lines can soften and blacks and shading can lose contrast. If you still like the design, you don’t have to cover it. At SHADY TATTOO in Wieluń we refresh old tattoos. The consultation and quote are free.

When a refresh is worth it

Possible reasons:

  • fading – especially on areas that see a lot of sun,
  • lost contrast – shading and tonal transitions look flatter,
  • blurred or uneven lines – particularly in very small, fine designs.

How a tattoo ages depends on things like sun exposure, placement and aftercare. More in our article tattoos, exercise and sun.

Refresh vs cover-up

  • Refresh – we keep the same design and bring back its definition.
  • Cover-up – we cover the old tattoo with a new, different design.

Not sure which suits your tattoo? Show it to us and we’ll advise at the consultation. More on covering: tattoo cover-ups in Wieluń.

How a refresh works with us

Whether your tattoo is a good candidate for a refresh, and how to plan it – ask at the consultation.

  1. A photo of the tattooSend a sharp daylight photo via Instagram or Facebook, or show us at the studio.
  2. Free consultation and quoteWe look at the tattoo’s condition and agree what can be improved.
  3. BookingThe deposit is set individually (BLIK or cash), and you can reschedule no later than 3 days before the appointment.

Aftercare after a refresh

A refreshed tattoo is cared for just like a new one – clean hands, gentle washing, a thin layer of aftercare product and protection from the sun. Full instructions: tattoo aftercare. Once healed, protect it with high-SPF sunscreen so it stays sharp for longer.
