It should definitely be healed in a month. I have had tattoos never an infection though, but I am in medical school. I'm not sure about the effectiveness of the celcum pills, but with a standard antibiotic it should take about a week to heal. If it looks like it is getting worse or doesn't look better in three days you need to get a script from a doctor for Keflex or another antibiotic. Either way it should be healed by then.

Mine was quite badly infected but it only took a week or so to clear up and that was without any antibiotics.
The back of your foot is a heel. You're asking how long it takes to heal.
It's probably a better idea to ask your doctor what to do than your tattoo artist. The artist might be right, but if he's wrong then you'll end up at the doctor anyway. Try asking on WebMD instead of here.
As long as it takes... it can get agitated and itchy as hell...
