i been thinking of getting a tattoo but i am some what curious how long does it take to heal from getting one,,,,

Takes about 3 weeks, if you follow directions and take care of it right.

i been thinking of getting one on my waist i was just curious

Ya both mine only took a couple weeks each to heal

wow that did not take long at all

Ya they are easy to take care of

It really depends on a couple of things:

1. Do you heal pretty quickly from cuts and etc? If so, then you will heal quickly from a tattoo.
2. A lot of it depends on it's location. The one on my ankle took longer to heal because it was open to so many things...wearing shorts and sandals...being outdoors...me having access to it to scratch it when it itched...lol. The ones on my back healed very quickly because they were not exposed often and I couldn't reach them to mess with them! lol...
3. I have found that if you keep them moist with tattoo lube or vitamin E, they heal a lot faster and scab less.
4. It also can depend on the type of tattoo...whether there is a lot of color or outlining. The outline is always darker and therefore deeper in the skin. The colors are usually less deep and heal faster.
5. Make sure you take good care of it...don't go swimming or tanning until it starts to heal...keep it moist...don't pick at it if it scabs...keep it clean.

Be warned though...they are very addictive! Once you get one, you will want more!!!

wow that helps me so much thanks a lot, i was thinking of tinker bell or some thing close to it on my lower stomach so i know my pants and skirts could rub on it so i guess i better wear like a small dress or some thing to it heal a little

I've heard that You should'nt have sex for 1 week after getting a Tatt.

Interesting...are you pulling our legs?

Yeah...because if you do have sex in that week after getting a tattoo, YOU WILL DIE!

Oh Oh! No body told me! Farewell my friends!

Yes it's a trade joke. But you are'nt supposed to sweat alot during the first week of healing

I just thought about having sex right after I might get a tatoo and I felt like throwing up....
