Body Art Safety
Once you have your new body art, it’s important to be aware of the healing process. Piercings can take 2 to 6 months to heal, depending on their location. Tattoos can take a few hours to overnight to heal, depending on their size. Your tattoo artist will likely provide you with the proper cleansers and protection for your new body art.
