Default seeing skin and light spots

hey guys got a question i got a large black tribal piece done two weeks a go healed good but at the start it was really light in some places and u could sort of see skin through it as well as whitish or light spots along it, as its healed its improved a bit sort of like the black is setteling in or something some spots have darkened up can i expect any other areas to darken up as the tatt fully heals (does the ink take a certain time to fully darken up) or will i just have to get it redone (touched up) thanks guys any opinions or info apreciated

well there could e light spots .lack is the most contrasting color on your skin. but there maybe that milky looking new skin over the work wait till it fully heals if you need a touch up it shouldnt be a big deal

In some cases, if you had spots where the tattoo scabbed up (bad) the scabbing process will leech ink out of your skin.

Wait until its 100% healed and healthy to make any final determination. After that, as stated above, you can get it touched up.

I have had one tattoo touched up because the original ASSHAT who did it had WAYY to heavy a hand (he was later fired for mangling several tattoos in the same shop) and even though I followed a strict and proven healing regimen...it scabbed up. The owner of the shop fixed it for free, with his apologies for ever employing such an idiot. It was my first....so I didn't know jack squat about tattoos at the time.
