You should wait for at least 3 weeks.....The entire top layer of tattooed skin will come off and the dermis forms a new epidermis over that...If the skin looks shiny, almost plastic like, it is still forming.....Wait another week.....Hope this helps....

Is getting a semi large tattoo going down the side a bad idea meaning if you one day decide to have kids will it stretch and ruin your tattoo?
It all depends on where on the side the tattoo is. A tattoo on your belly will expand with the skin. What tattoo artists usually say is that you need to moisturize the skin a lot to keep it flexible, and you might require some touch up work after giving birth and when you're back in your normal body shape again.
How soon can you get a tattoo after an arthroscopic surgery?
I have the same question, and would love an answer. As a tattoo artist I would suggest not getting any tattoo work till the surgery is totally healed . The more you body has to heal up at the same time the harder it is on your system , there is also more of a chance of infection because your body is at a vulnerable state. A few month after the surgery is healed would be my suggestion

Only if there are gaps in the outline, or any areas that did not shade as required. Even great artists cannot predict the tattoos lines once healed.

Will your tattoo darken up after peeling?
On the contrary! Tattoos tend lose their glossy shine (become duller) and lighten up a bit after peeling and once it is healed. The change in color is not drastic. After time, your tattoo will gradually lighten even more, and if there is quite a bit of thick coloring, it will space, meaning small gaps in the color will be visible. Touch ups every few years are very normal for maintaining a tattoo. You won't be charged as much for touch ups as you did for your initial tattoo, and it is useful to restore the color and keep your tattoo looking brand new. Good luck!
