Opinions on fading colors of tattoo

I got my first tattoo back on Jan 25, 2008. Two months later, the
colors have faded somewhat. I've read that touchups are sometimes
needed. Couple questions though:

Does the fading shown in the pictures below look like bad artist work,
bad ink, bad aftercare, or just normal fading that needs touch up? The
left image is the tattoo one day old, the right is 2 months old. An
experienced opinion would help me be prepared to discuss with my
artist when I go see him in a few days.

the "fading" looks like normal fading; it's the artistry that
looks like bad artist work.

think about how a tattoo is actually applied & you'll understand
that this isn't really the colors fading. however, there's no excuse for
that flat-looking pathetic tiger when artists like these exist:

when you're done reading that, read this:
http://compunction.org/healing.txt . i bet your "artist" is having you
slather all sorts of bullshit on that thing until it finally heals.

It doesn't. I decided to go a different direction.

Actually, I'm pretty much following the healing instructions you
suggest, to the letter. Thanks for the link to that. Your opinion of
the artistry of my tattoo is perfectly irrelevant to me...

good! i'm glad you're following my text. that can only help make
up for your artist's incompetence.

as well it should be. if you're happy, it doesn't matter what
anyone else's opinion is.

She likes it. Sweet of you to ask. I think your wife likes it better,
though.
