How Long Does Fine Line Tattoo Take to Heal?

Fine line tattoos often appear to heal faster than traditional tattoos because they cause less trauma to the skin. The needles used are smaller and do not "chew up" the skin as much as heavy shaders, resulting in less scabbing and lighter peeling. While the surface layer may look healed in 2 to 3 weeks, the deeper layers of the skin can take up to 4 to 6 months to fully regenerate and stabilize the ink.
