both of mine only took about a week each, but they're not huge or anything.

i know the sweating thing can be a b!tch. i have a couple of "dim" spots on one because i was sweating a lot and developed a heat rash. i was working as a welder at the time and it was june.

when I get one it normally heals within a week or two. Had one take almost a month but the guy who did it was sadistic. He used the smallest needle and kept going over it again and again. One spot bleed out so bad it had to be re inked. So be careful on who you go to. If you got friends with tats ask them where they got theirs done and if they could recommend anyone.

I have two tattoos and they both healed up within a week. Lots of lotion to keep them moist and it's all good.

It's not but almost every tattoo artist I know recommends it.

Have to wash it a few times and then let it dry out completely for about 24 hours, then Aquaphor once a day for a week then switch to lotion... check out my tats in my profile... gorgeous color!

It's more like an ointment than a lotion so you have to put it on very sparingly, a little goes a long way :thumbsup:

Yeah, alot of things are like that, I do'nt do well with sparingly, though. What kind of ink did She use?

I'd have to ask her, I don't know off of the top of my head. I know she only uses organic inks though.

I do not do tattoos, so I do not know.......you get old and they wrinkle and look terrible......never wanted to have one removed......and the scarring from removal horrible looking.

Be careful to makesure you put lots of sunblock on all the time when ever they're exposed or the colours will fade. The black lines will turn blue/green etc.
I have one on my missing breast.laugh :tongue:
