Shaving over my tattoo?...
I just got my first tattoo.  It's on the inside (slightly toward the front) of my left ankle.  I didn't think to ask my artist this question.  Anyway, I just need to know how long I need to wait before I can shave over my tattoo (if ever), while shaving my legs?  Does that make sense?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I would have thought you can probably shave over it after a month or two, when the skin is back to normal. After all, all you are doing is removing the surface hairs, nothing more. I don't know if it might be different for waxing or laser hair removal though. Luckily I don't have that problem, because mine is on my shoulder.

I have the same problem, in a way.  i just got a tattoo of a tribal grim reaper on my arm about 19 hours ago.  I'm half polish, half Italian, so to say the least I'm covered in hair.  I would recommend not shaving until the tattoo has stopped "leaking", and the scars + scabs have had time to heal.  I.E. about a month to 2 months.
