Some tattoo artists will say no. Others will say yes. There are many factors to consider when getting a tattoo and obviously the amount of pain you must go through for that tattoo differ.
Old school tattoo artists are of the mind, that you must earn your tattoo with the pain you go through to get the tattoo. This is quite outdated way of thinking.
Many factors play into how much a tattoo will hurt. One essential aspect is where the tattoo will be located on your own body. Areas such like outer arms, outer legs, upper back and upper chest are not very painful for tattooing. Locations such as the lower back, inside the arms, or legs, near elbows and knees, along the spine, along the ribs, the lower front torso are all considered for more painful areas. Your feet and ankles are definitely more painful than locations. This applies also to inside the wrist and hands.
Another factor is how good you tolerate pain. Women are built to take pain better than men, because women are designed to give birth. This produces a normal woman’s pain tolerance usually higher than a gentleman’s. Women who have given birth usually tolerate pain better than females who have not been through childbirth.
Additionally, if you have now several tattoos, what happens to expect and also become more safe from the feeling of having a tattoo since you have had the opportunity to feel what it feels like for any tattoo and now it’s possible to convince your body that the pain is not that bad, because you’ve survived it before. Those getting their first or second tattoo would be advisable to pick smaller designs and put them in less painful areas until they become used for the feeling of having a tattoo needle pierce their skin 3,000 times a minute. But, be careful where those small tattoos go. The actual tattoo business, outer arms and upper backs, as well as calves from the legs are considered ‘prime real estate’ and to plant a tiny tattoo in an area that leaves a lot of untouched skin around it tends to produce that small tattoo look even tinier. And, if sometime in the future you decide to get a partial or full sleeve or leg piece, you’ve simply it more tough design around that tiny tattoo smack dab in the heart of your planned large piece.
On the market today there are some types of deadening agents available. Pre-deadeners usually have Lidocaine, Benzocaine and/or Tetracaine in them. Pre-deadeners should be added to cleaned, shaved skin in a thin coat, then seal the area with clear cellophane and taped airtight. The artist applying this pre-deadener is wise to test the little area first to check the person finding the pre-deadener is not going to possess a bad reaction to the cream or lotion. Most pre-deadeners take 45 minutes to hour to become effective and usually last 1 to two hours. Most times you can tell it is taking effect when you see a whitish coloring to the treated area making nearby areas appear pinker than normal. On darker skin wanting to offer harder to determine. If there is any doubt about whether the person will have step to this procedure, make sure to have them discuss it with their doctor before using the product, several cases of reactions have been reported by those who did not follow these guidelines.
These pre-deadeners are around to professional tattoo artists through their tattoo supplier and aren’t generally available towards the public. These pre-deadeners are designed as replacements on un-broken skin, meaning before the tattooing process commences.
Once the tattoo has been started, usually after all of the outlining is done, another type of deadener is available. It too can contain Lidocaine (5% concentration is the legal limit if you have a medical license), Benzocaine and/or Tetracaine. Usually this ‘during-the-procedure’ treatment is there to liquid, spray form or gel. Somebody sprayed on or applied to the skin once the skin is ‘broken’ from the tattoo needle and could also be tested on a small area beforehand to be the client will have no adverse responses. Again, this product is not generally available to men and women but can be purchased by a professional tattoo artist working in a licensed studio. There have been usually lasts 45 minutes to sixty minutes per application and it is advised not incorporated with this the product higher 4 times within sitting with an individual to avoid heart palpitations, and other unpleasant side changes.
Some artists won’t offer these deadeners saying it causes the tattoo to heal poorly. Others refuse to offer them because of the cost involved in obtaining them. Many of these deadening products have become expensive for small amounts and because usually are very well sometimes in alcohol or witch hazel bases, they tend to evaporate quickly and have a long shelf life. Clients usually don’t realize that their tattoo artists will talk about the tattoo experience the particular client is no more. Tattoo artists have been overheard commenting about what a wimp a client is because they moaned, groaned, complained incessantly, constantly wiggled throughout the whole tattoo. Some artists will charge more for the next tattoo if the client comes back to your same artist for many more work, because the artist knows be a difficult tattoo to nicely due to the continual pain vocalizations in the client, and trying to get a complaining client to sit still. Sitting still is the number one reason some tattoos do not come out well. Talking within cell phone, bringing children into the studio and paying more attention inside than the tattoo procedure, and poor aftercare are other reasons why a tattoo might not turn out well. But, using deadeners usually doesn’t any effect using a quality of the tattoo or the healing process after.
