Tattoo Touchups

I refresh and refine healed tattoos with considered touchups.

Healed Tattoo Refresh

A focused refresh for healed tattoos that need renewed clarity and definition.

A More Personal Way to Restore Your Ink

I begin by looking closely at the healed tattoo, considering where pigment has softened, lines have faded, or small details need attention. The goal is not to redraw the piece, but to make careful refinements that support the original design.

Your session is shaped around the condition of the tattoo and the areas that matter most to you. I work with a steady, detail-focused approach, keeping the result balanced with the existing ink and your skin's natural response.

Ideal For

  • Healed tattoos with faded lines

  • Small areas needing renewed contrast

  • Older work that has lost definition

  • Clients wanting a considered refresh

How It Works

  1. Share Details: Send a clear photo and explain which areas you would like reviewed.

  2. Assess The Tattoo: I evaluate the healed work and identify the most appropriate refinements.

  3. Refine The Details: I complete the touchup with care, focusing on clarity and cohesion.

About

My name is Mike Mendes. I've been tattooing all over the world for the last 20 years, and have recently settled in Vancouver, Canada. From flash designs to large-scale projects, I work with people who want something distinctive and timeless. I enjoy exploring different styles, and approaches while keeping with traditional tattoo principals. I tend to lean more towards black & grey work but am always up for working with color. Whether you arrive with a clear concept or want to build an idea together, I bring an open mind and a hands-on artistic approach to every tattoo. Just let me know what you'd like to have done and we can go from there!
