One of the worst things you can do to a new tattoo is get it wet. Do not shower for at least 24 hours. Don't soak in anything -- a bath, hot tub, lake, pond or pool -- until your tattoo is fully healed. Avoid saunas and steam rooms as well.
It must be healed before you even think about getting in the water. Tattoos take anywhere from two weeks to a months to heal, it can be longer though. Color should not effect healing. If you can't stay out of the water for that long, wait until the following fall to get the tattoo, that way you won't have to miss out.crazzy_nascar_chick Â· 6 years ago.Thumbs up.asically, how long do tattoos take to heal (mine would probably be 3 in. by 3 in. at biggest)? Do color tattoos take longer to heal than black ones? And since it's summer can I swim and stuff with my healing tattoo (obviously not the next day but a couple days after?) thank you!
