Why hasn't my tattoo peeled?

I got a touch up of a tattoo I had gotten in 2017 that significantly faded. My touch up was done on September 1st by a different artist. He was very informative and professional. He told me that my previous artist didn't do the necessary steps to ensure that my tattoo would last. The tattoo is black and grey with blue and I am dark skinned. When the touch up was done it looked great. I followed my artists instructions but I noticed after washing the first day the tattoo looked cloudy and as if the color wasn't there (the color portions looked like my skin). I went to the shop days later and my artist said it was completely normal. I'd been washing and moisturizing. The tattoo did scab quickly but it wasn't heavy it was light and those seemed to have gone away. It's now been 23 days and my tattoo hasn't peeled. I know that's normal for some people but I know that the tattoo cannot be healed if it still appears cloudy and the color hasn't returned. Am I freaking out over nothing?
