How long does it take for one to properly settle down and the scabbing to disappear ? Had mine done last Saturday and it's healing up nicely, but just wondered how long I should leave it before getting in the pool again ?

For it to TOTALLY be normal, youre probably looking at a couple of weeks honey!!

Tis a really nice tattoo too!

Oh OK, well I don't want to damage it so I'll stay out the water for another ten days or so then.

Same as maria, i waighted 2 weeks with mine, and all was fine, i would say a few days after the healing is done, then it will be ok

u still need to keep it out of the sun untill the skin has "really" healed......ur skin will break,heal then go milky and then clear......ideally a month.......

I'd say about 10 days. It's probably going to be 90% sorted after a week, then a few more days to clear up completely

When you can scratch it with your hand without any bother is a good sign of healed skin!

What have you had done?

And whatever you do don't read Maria's post about having them lasered off.

mrjenrst

completly depends on the size of needle used.
The last one i had done had virtually no scabs cos the needle was the finest you can get. But i've had some that has took weeks to heal.
