It is on the back of my calf, and I have been treating it with Bepanthen (which is what the tattooist recommended) for the past five days.

How will I know when it is done healing and when I stop putting moisturizer on?

most people heal in about 14-21 days when your tattoo is the same texture as the rest of your skin it is healed but i would continue putting moisturizer on it forever to keep the skin supple and the tattoo looking good.

No your tat is not healed but your doing good keep using the Bepanthen your know it's healed after the peeling or scabing, but remember if it scabs DO NOT pull the scabs off it will take away some of the color

When it stops peeling it will be mostly healed. Keep doing whatever the tattooist's care sheet tells you to do and try not to scratch at it. If it really itches try patting it (just not to hard)

Once it's done peeling it is healed. They usually peel for a week or less.
Oh yeah, keep it out of the sun for a couple weeks, too.

No it's not done...........let the process continue. Keep cleaning
and putting on your moisturizer. Peeling is just one of the steps in healing..............do not pick or scratch...
I don't understand why these question keep coming up........don't the shops tell these people how to take care of their tats........................?........
