How long does a tattoo take to heal?

I know it’ll vary depending on the tattoo. But I’m just asking for average times and own experiences? I got my first tattoo a few hours ago, its a (fairly) small piece of Arabic writing on my upper thigh.
I’m also going to be applying bepanthon to it 1-2 times a day for about a week, is this a good idea?

What tattoo would symbolizes overcoming rape?

Probably one of the worst experiences of my life – and if I ever get over it, I want to get a tattoo to remind myself that it is in the past. I don’t wan’t to forget it, it’s a huge part of who I am today. I also want to get it somewhere that is hidden because it is not for other people to see, besides my husband, because I am doing this for myself – not as a decoration.

So I need two suggestions – What I should get and where. I don’t mind words, but I don’t want like an entire verse running down my arm.
