2 months since getting inked. Time for a touch up?
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.

Ehhhh, up to you. My skin doesn't take lighter colours well at all and you might have the same issue. A touch up might not do a lot for you. Maybe consider a darker outline on the gold parts to make them more defined. One thing to also consider is that the whole thing will soften and fuzz out a bit as time goes on. Looks like you've got a fair bit of scar tissue there too. Were you at a reputable shop?
Yes, I went to a very popular shop in the area.
From all I’ve seen, I don’t think it is scar tissue. I might still be healing. Over time that area has been smoothing out, but slowly.
