    Depends on the person and the location of the tatt.
    The one on my chest took about 3 weeks, the one on my lower leg took less then a week.,The upper arms about 1 1/2 weeks, and the one on my upper back (Shoulder) about a week,

    So it depends on the person and the healing rate.
    for the most it is 7-10 days

    takes about two weeks ish to heal, mine was stiff to start with then got very itchy but was a lot better after about 2 weeks, if you make sure you follow the after care it heals around 2 weeks if not can take longer.

    it depends how big the tattoo is gonna be and where you’re gonna have it, because you will be going back to afghanistan you should have it put somewhere that won’t be too exposed to the sun, because the sun will fade it, if it is a small to medium size tattoo then you should be absolutley fine after 10 days to go back out, but if it’s anything as large as a full back piece then I wouldn’t suggest it.
    I hope it works out for you 🙂
