It takes 7 to 10 days for the initial healing and 3-4 weeks for a new tattoo to fully heal. It may take up to 2 months for your skin and hair to return to their normal state.
First, remove the bandage 2-3 hours after getting the tattoo. Wash the new tattoo at least twice a day with antibacterial soap under warm running water. Gently apply Aquatat healing ointment after washing. Avoid touching or scratching the tattoo, and never touch it with dirty hands. During the healing process, stay away from animals, swimming, sunbathing, tight clothing, and rough fabrics.
