how long does it take for a tattoo to heal
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: A tattoo will surface heal in approx. one week, varying from person to person, but the healing process beneath will take 1-3 months, during which time strong sunlight and extremes of temperature should be avoided.Make sure you clean your tattoo and use an oniment such as Savlon whilst it's still healing. got a tattoo of a charm bracelet round my ankle 4 weeks ago tomorrow and it never really seemed to scab over or get itchy or any of the problems you expect with a healing tattoo but it did go a bit dry looking, looked a bit like when you peel after sunburn. It is still like that in bits and in a couple of bits...
