Tattoo Healing Timeline

Tattoo healing varies, but most tattoos go through a fresh stage, a peeling stage and a settling stage. Keep the tattoo clean, avoid soaking and do not pick flaking skin. If anything feels unusual, contact your artist for advice.

For personal advice, send your idea, placement, size and references to Block 50. A consultation is the best way to understand what is possible for your tattoo.
