Calling all tattoo artists...in Virginia if possible?

I got a tattoo 2 weeks ago (my 5th) and it's healing a bit slower than my others. It's on my left ankle. It's still scabbed a little and I do have a mild infection, which is being treated with oral antiiotics.

The tattoo did not turn out well. It's lost a lot of color and I'm not pleased with the end result. If a person comes back, do you offer retouches? Mine will need one once it's fully healed. It's not as vivid as it is supposed to be (it's a butterfly). My friend and I got them at the same time and hers turned out much better. I'm going to get a different artist to touch it up. Do artists charge for that? The tattoo cost more than $100 and I feel like I should get what I paid for.

The swelling is down and the redness is going away. When I saw it didn't look right, I went to the doctor to get it looked at. Thanks for any advice.

    Some tattoo artists will give you a free touch up but it is really up to them. I would ask kindly for the same artist to please do a touch up. Do not demand. Most tattoo artists act like....well artists. You are not supposed to argue with them about price, but like I said some will do a free touch up.
