Rework
The process of improving, modifying, or building on an existing tattoo. Can range from a simple touch-up to a complete redesign incorporating old work.
In detail
Rework may involve brightening faded colours, redefining blurred lines, or incorporating an old tattoo into a larger composition. A consultation with an experienced artist is essential to understand what's possible.
