What's the pain like?
Again, it’s very individual and depend on your pain threshold. It can be sharp or stinging pain, scratching pain, extremely painful. Some describe it as a vibrating pain or something comparable to a cat scratch. For others who mange pain easily it’s only mild discomfort or a dull ache.
Are there ways for pain management?
Yes. Before you book your tattoo session ask your tattoo artists for tips on how to manage the pain. Proper aftercare is also important to avoid any complications and ensuring the healing process is going smoothly.
What are some tips to have a painless experience?
The tattoo placement plays a big role in the level of pain. Somewhere with muscle padding like the thigh will be more comfortable than the rib cage for example. Further, working with an experienced tattoo artist can make a big difference too. Finally ask about numbing creams and other ways to manage the pain. After all, the session should still be an enjoyable or tolerable experience. Not sharp pain that doesn’t want you to get another tattoo in the future.
