I usually hear of people going at least 6 months after D:
But, I'm not sure.

I went for touch ups exactly one month after, but it was just some minor stuff, nothing big like full on coloring or redoing lines.
What kind of touch ups are you looking to do?

Well... I've been getting serial sessions on my sleeve and I just go in once the scabbing is all gone. Usually about 2 - 3 weeks.

It seems like it would depend on the type of touch-up you're looking to have done. If it's for something small, like Lance said, then maybe only a month or two after you got the tattoo done. But if you're working on completing a large tattoo and you're required to come in to the shop a few times to get it done, then you probably would only have to wait a few weeks.
If you're worried that the color will fade or won't be as vibrant, that probably won't happen for some time after the tattoo has had a long time to heal anyway. Some of my tattoos require more frequent touch-ups while I also have a few that haven't required any since I got them done years ago. I think in that case it could also depend on location of the tattoo, as well as what quality the ink was that the artist used.
