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.
Therefore, any sun exposure on the area is going to be detrimental to healing. Your tattooed skin is going to be classed as an open wound until the scabbing process is complete. This can take up to two weeks, and sometimes a little longer depending on the size and placement of the tattoo.
