F A Q

Does it really hurt?

Yes, it does hurt, but how much is up to the pain threshold of the individual. Usually your body produces its own "pain killers" and the pain tends to ease up a bit. The pain is because there are needles rapidly poking at your skin...Why shouldnt this hurt?

With that respect, the area inwhich you intend to have the tattoo placed will also determine how much pain is given, for example, the closer to bones usually hurts more, even the underside of your wrists, lower back etc.

Certain types of needles also contribute. From others I have heard that the outline is usually what hurts the most...I agree with that one. Either way I dont say that to discourage from getting one. Your body might surprise you. If else, its possible to take some Tylenol (NO ASPIRIN PRODUCTS). Aspirin causes excessive bleeding and will slow down the healing process.
