How Long Does It Take A Simple Tattoo On The Back Of The Neck To Heal?

3 Comments 04 January 2010

I just got my first tattoo on the back of my neck. I am wondering how long it will take before it heals. Also, can I put neosporin on it?

NO!!
No neosporin.
I suggest:
Tattoo Goo
A&D
Lubriderm
or any scent free and dye free lotion
and for healing I would say about 14 – 21 days
All mine healed in 14
and yes you need to keep it hydrated, but be careful to not over do it. There is such as thing as using to much ointment when using only apply a VERY THIN layer.

For it to completely heal you are looking at about 4 weeks. Do not use neosporin…use A&D the first few days then switch to unscented lotion such as Curel or Lubriderm.
