The date of the procedure should be chosen based on your menstrual cycle. Critical days are not the right time for a tattoo.
Colds and exacerbation of chronic diseases are a good reason to postpone a trip to the salon until you recover or start to feel better.

In the future, they turn to touch up if they want to update a colour that has lost its saturation. This happens at intervals of 2-3 years.
