The normal healing time for a tattoo is two to four weeks. Do not pick or scratch your tattoo. Flaking or peeling is a natural part of the healing process. Do not soak your tattoo during healing. That means no baths, hot tubs or pools.
Some of the ink will go into the upper layer of the skin, and that will then be shed as normal. Thatâs why the process of getting a tattoo also includes time letting your skin heal, with the body taking two to four weeks to initially heal. The body also keeps fighting the foreign ink throughout its ownersâ life.
