Do Tattoos Hurt?
James Beckett
One question that always comes up when you are considering a tattoo is, 'Does it hurt?'. Two things need to be taken into account when answering that question, the location on your body you have it done and the place you go to and have it done.
It is well known that some spots on your body will hurt more than other if you have a tattoo on them. From experience I can say anywhere with bone near the surface will be more painful. Try to get it somewhere like the top of your bum etc where there is 'padding' to protect you.
You can get your tat done on your upper arm if you are worried about how much it will hurt, mine didn't hurt much at all. Or you can have them done on the lower part of your leg (the back or side not the front!) which I have heard is also good.
Getting a tattoo will hurt if you don't take good care of the tattoo at first. In a sense, the tattoo is a wound. It has to heal properly and that will not happen if you don't cleanse and treat it. You must keep a close eye on your tattoo if you want to prevent infections and complications.
If you do not moisturise the area intensively then you may get scabs forming on your new tat. You want to try and avoid this wherever possible because if you accidentally pull one of those scabs off it can wreck your tattoo. Your artist can advise you how best to look after your new tat.
Of course you may be doing everything right afterwards and still get it infected. In this case then it was probably the artist who passed on the infection. They should use brand new sterilised needles for you tattoo and plastic gloves. Check out the area they will be using before you pay for anything, and also if you can, go in and watch someone else having a tattoo so you can see the procedure they use first.
Some tattoos become tainted due to an allergic effect to the color. So before you obtain your tattoo, talk to your doctor about how you can figure out if you have allergies to the elements in most tattoo ink.
Is having a tattoo painful? Sure, if you don't follow the proper precautions and carry out background research. To avoid a painful tattoo, have it done on a suitable part of your body and go to a parlor that comes recommended from someone you know who has a tattoo already from there!
