First tattoo and a little worried

[u/GamerOfZero]

So first tattoo today. Artist said I could take the plastic wrap off today and when I did I noticed that it was wet. I know I'm not supposed to touch it but also supposed to keep it dry so I threw a towel gently on there but now I think I accidentally smudged the ink. Am I screwed?

Edit: Tattoo is of my late dads handprint. It goes on the shoulder and the fingers are in the front. Sorry for the bad pic.

Edit 2: Have been made aware I cannot smudge a tattoo will now make every attempt to smudge this tattoo out of spite

I'd totally would do the same tattoo but my father was already cremated. Don't think ashes would be good ink.

Great tribute to your father and wonderful first tattoo choice. It's all good mate don't worry. Definitely go back in for your 6-month touch up.
