depending on size and where it is on the body i would say about 3 weeks minimum. Evern if it feels healed.. it is still an open wound so be careful what you expose it to...such as pools and sun. It really does vary on your body. For example my first one took about a week. but its small
my 5th took about a little under a month cuz its bigger and on more sensetive skin.

∙ 15y agoAbout as long as any other wound of the same size; that is unless you happened to get Hepatitis or even worse AIDS during the process. In that case the "wound" will be with you the rest of your life which might not be as long as you had hoped before gettint the tattoo.

∙ 14y agoI just got my tattoo done and normal tattoo healing includes some peeling, soreness, and possibly scabbing. The important thing to remember is to wash it 2X's daily w/ anti-bacterial soap (unscented), and (as my artist has recommended) Aquphor ointment, but ink fix works well too. Do NOT, however, pick or scratch your tattoo and keep it out of the sun and water for extended periods of time. My personal tattoo only peeled and then was perfectly fine. You lose some of the color when it peels though so don't worry if that happens. Worse comes to worse and your artist can touch it up some.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on the person but most likely about 1 to 2 weeks. However, some parts of the body might have harder time healing. Different articles of clothing may affect healing as well.

Can you tattoo a healing tattoo?
According to the professional tattoo artists in San Antonio, Texas, the correct answer is NO. The skin needs time to fully heal before it is touched up, worked on or added to. If there is not sufficient healing time for the tattoo fully heal, then cross contamination can occur, or possible increased risk of infection, since the skin barrier is incomplete.

What happens if you go too deep on a tattoo?
You scar the area naturally, and the ink will fall out during the prolonged healing time. This should not happen if you know what you are doing.
How can you cover your tattoo when you swim?
If you have a new tattoo it isn't recommended to have your tattoo in water for an extended amount of time. If you are going in the water you could use medical tape, saran wrap, and whatever ointment your tattooist recommends for the healing process. I, personally, would put ointment on the tattoo, cover it with the saran wrap and then use the medical tape to hold it on. Doesn't sound very attractive, but it will allow you to spend time in the water and not affect the tattoo.
Can you get a tattoo after having heart stents put in?
You should not get any tattoo work done soon after a major surgery, or after experiencing anything that has caused trauma to your body. Your body needs time to recuperate, and does not need to have to focus on healing a tattoo (which is essentially a wound) in addition to recovering from surgery or any kind of injury. The longer you wait to get a tattoo after your valve replacement, the better.

Is it okay to tan 3 days after you get a tattoo?
Not at all. You want to wait about a good month after getting a tattoo before you go out in the sun to tan. Having a healing tattoo is a vulnerability out in the sun and it will do nothing but delay the healing time most likely. There is little chance of actual harm being done to your skin and body if you are not bathing in it for hours, but you should still avoid direct sunlight throughout the healing time. Also, once healed, excessive tanning will break down your tattoo and make the colors less vibrant over time as well.

Will taking antibiotics help a tattoo heal faster?
No, unless it's infected. Antibiotics only help to kill bacteria, they won't speed healing time.
If i did a tattoo 3 weeks ago it looked great at first but now the ink is going away?
The ink is not going away the tattoo is just healing. When you get a tattoo you basically have a giant open wound that will heal over time. The ink that you first see when the tattoo is done is on the most surface layer of the skin. After that layer of skin heals over you are left with the ink that has penetrated deeper layers; a permanent mark. That is why the ink looks like it is slightly faded. The ink is not "going away", you are seeing the real tattoo for the first time.
