Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Let us briefly address some of the most frequently asked questions now.

I am planning to get inked next week and I’m freaking out. Is it very painful?

Every individual has a different tolerance level towards pain. Some people are extremely sensitive to pain while others can bear it. It is true that the procedure can get painful, it is not all smooth and blissful. There are however some areas of your body that can bear the pain. Ideal least painful spots include your shoulders, thighs, forearm and back. However, it would be bothersome in the first few minutes, after that you will get used to it.

Some additional tips for lessening the tattoo pain is to remain hydrated and sober. Make sure that you are not drunk before sitting for the tattoo. Alcohol tends to make your blood thin which will make your skin bleed a lot.

How long will the session last?

The length of time depends on your tattoo design. If the design is large and cover a lot of skin area then it will take longer to complete. You have to remember that this is a delicate process because it requires piercing through your skin with a needle. It is best to patiently wait for best results.

How long will my tattoo hurt and sting?

Normally the pain lasts for about 7 days. However if the area of your tattoo is constantly stinging and you feel like an infection is starting to develop, then you may go see a doctor. Generally, getting an infection is rare. The area tends to heal in a week’s time. It may itch after the first week but you should not worry because mild itching is normal.

It is important to take extra care of your tattoo. Don’t take your band aid off till 6 to 7 hours. When you take it off wash the area with soapy water and don’t cover it with band aid again. Also, avoid swimming because chlorine tends to react with the tattoo ink and may cause bad infections.
