Small, relatively simple tattoos, heal pretty fast... 4, 5 days. Larger pieces take a bit more time. Up to two weeks. The skin is damaged by the tattoo needle going in and out and the skin reacts in just about the same way as it reacts so a sunburn. That is what a fresh tattoo feels like. So the first days can be pretty painful. After a few days you're okay... and than the worst part comes: it'll start to itch... and you shouldn't scratch! Opionions differ about the aftercare. I advise to wash the tattoo gently after an hour or two, no soap, and put a little bit of vaseline on it. Do that for at least 3, 4 days. Washing without soap, and put some vaseling onto it. That doesn't do anything for the skin, except for keeping it from getting infected. Don't have to put any vaseline on it after the first week. After two weeks the tattoo should be fully healed.

I'm getting wolf eyes for a tattoo does the shoulder or in between my upper shoulder blades heal faster?
Tattoos normally take about a week ot 2 on the average to heal, but it may take about 2 weeks if the tattoo is large and had alot of detail. Normally, areas that are usually not exposed, like right below the armpit or on the foot, usually take the longest to heal, since these areas are more sensative. It also stings a little more while getting the tattoo. To answer your question, a tattoo on your shoulder or back uasually heal about the same rate.

Why does your arm look scaly after you get a colored tattoo?
It is a scab and DO NOT pick at it because it will take the new tattoo off. I had a new tattoo damaged at a wedding when everyone hugged me and knocked a small part of the scab off. Just leave it alone and it will heal leaving a nice looking tattoo.
