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.
Soaking will turn a new tattoo to slush and have the same after effect as using too much ointment and take a long, long time to heal. The initial healing of a new tattoo is about 2 weeks, if taken care of properly. The tattoo will lightly flake and peal like a sunburn, but with colored flakes of skin. This is normal and will take place all within the first 4 to 7 days.
