A tattoo usually takes about 2 to 4 weeks to heal on the surface of the skin, but full healing underneath the skin can take up to 3 months or sometimes longer.
Here’s a rough timeline:
Days 1–6: The tattoo will be red, swollen, and might ooze a bit as your body starts healing.
Days 7–14: The tattoo will start to scab and peel like a sunburn.
Weeks 2–4: Scabs fall off, and the skin looks clearer but might still feel dry or itchy.
Months 1–3: The deeper skin layers fully repair, and the tattoo settles into its final appearance.
Healing time can vary based on factors like tattoo size, placement, your skin type, and how well you follow aftercare instructions.
