Tattoo touch-ups NOT from the original artist?

I got a tattoo on the inside of my ring finger December 5th..I know for this spot, its typical to need touch-ups..but I feel like already there are some spots that need it (its a small infinity symbol, so its a thin tattoo)

The only thing is, I got this in Florida on a whim (and I'm now in Worcester, MA) so going back to the artist isn't really an option (I don't need a lecture on how I should have got it locally, so don't bother)

Anyways, I contacted a local shop, and the guy said that the shop min. is 60, and he typically wouldn't tattoo that spot either...so I can't say I want to spend 60 dollars for a touch-up in a spot where the guy hasn't tattooed before.

I haven't asked any other shops..but is this typical for? I know this is probably a stupid question..I understand a small fee because he wasn't the original artist..but I feel like paying the shop minimum is a little steep..Any advice? I still need to wait at least a month for it to completely heal..but still.

Thanks!
