Or you dont know how good your tattoo could have potentially be and you faded it before it was fully healed

Dont listen to anyone but the pro who gave you the tattoo or you will regret it

I was told not to go in 3-8 weeks depending on spot, type of tattoo, and how it healed within the first few weeks. The bigger, more colorful, the more time to heal. The smaller, usually just outlined, no color, usually pretty fast. Area will determine when its cool to submerge in water. There is no set time. Just check and if you feel your tatt is NOT apart of your skin, then don't chance it...
