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. 
That area seemed raised but there was more of it before that has since gone away/smoothed out. Would I be using this in addition to my regular moisturizer or in replacement?
I'd maybe moisturize it first, wait a bit for the moisturizer to do its thing, and then slap on the scar cream. They're usually pretty thick and at least the one I've used at some point didn't really have any moisturizing ingredients
What cream did you get?
It's a local brand so unless you're Finnish it wouldn't help you much, but you can just get any scar cream from a pharmacy. Some of them are silicone-based, some are a mix of zinc and silicones, and some are mainly just zinc, but any of them will probably do fine as long as it's medical grade.
