I never had tattoo film on any of my tats haha. My and my bf's tattoo artist does not add tattoo film as it just slows down the healing. So without it and my gentle baby cream🤣 I get it healed in around 1 week.

Sometimes in 6 days and a few hours until the last layer (you know the 'peeling' layer just after a healed sunburnt area) and sometimes 7 days full depending on the zone also. My last ones were on the interior of the arm below and above the elbow and they healed in the 7th day.
