How to minimize pain when getting a tattoo

Website design By BotEap.comObviously it will, so don’t ask if it hurts or not. Remember, the ink is injected into the second layer of the skin called the dermis. The needle of the electric tattoo machine being used is pierced into the skin between 50 and 3000 times per minute. No matter how big or small the design is, expect to feel some pain.

Website design By BotEap.comIf there is no way to stop the pain, there are ways to minimize it. Below are some of them:

• Choose a skilled tattoo artist, the more experienced ones have the touch lighter than the others as they can inject ink to the perfect depth to hit the skin without going too deep and causing pain.
• The part of the body closest to the bones hurts the most, such as the ribs and ankle, so get the design tattooed on the fleshy part, such as the arms and abdomen, if you want less pain.
• Never show up at the tattoo studio with drugs or drunk as this will thin your blood and make it bleed more.
• To put your mind at ease, listen to music this way, you can take your mind to a different place and focus on more than just the tattoo.
• Cleanse yourself of any fear before entering. Show up at the studio with the right motivation and frame of mind, it may not hurt as much as you thought. On the other hand, if you arrive at the studio almost scared to death, chances are it will hurt you more than you thought possible.
• If the pain becomes intolerable, you should report it to your tattoo artist immediately. He will allow you to take a break or come back another day. You can always interrupt your sessions as tattoos don’t need to be finished right away, especially if you feel uncomfortable.

It really depends on your own pain threshold. As long as you are one hundred percent determined to do it and it is a design that you really like, the pain you will go through will always be worth it in the end.
