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 sensation you go through to find tattoo. This is rather outdated way of reckoning.
Many factors play into how much a tattoo will hurt. One important factor is where the tattoo will be located on a body. Areas such while 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 to be more painful areas. An individual and ankles are definitely more painful than other areas. This applies also to inside the wrist and hands.
Another factor is how well you tolerate pain. Women are built to take pain better than men, because women are made to give birth. This an amazing normal woman’s pain tolerance usually higher than a man’s. Women who have given birth usually tolerate pain better than ladies who have not been through childbirth.
Additionally, if you have already several tattoos, do you know what to expect and also become more protected from the feeling acquiring a tattoo because you have had the opportunity to feel what it feels like reward yourself with a tattoo and it’s easy to convince your body that the pain is not that bad, because you’ve survived it forward. Those getting their first or second tattoo would be wise to pick smaller designs and put them in less painful areas until they become used for the feeling of developing a tattoo needle pierce their skin 3,000 times a little. But, be careful where those small tattoos go. Inside of tattoo business, outer arms and upper backs, as well as calves of your legs are considered ‘prime real estate’ and to plant a tiny tattoo in an area that leaves lots of untouched skin around it tends to that small tattoo look even lesser. And, if sometime in the future you decide to obtain partial or full sleeve or leg piece, you’ve simply it more hard to design around that tiny tattoo smack dab in the heart of your planned large piece.
On the market today there are a few types of deadening agents available. Pre-deadeners usually have Lidocaine, Benzocaine and/or Tetracaine in them. Pre-deadeners should be applied 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 a small area first to check the person receiving the pre-deadener is not going to possess a bad reaction towards the cream or creams. Most pre-deadeners take 45 minutes to hour to become effective and usually last 1 to 2 hours. Most times you can tell it is taking effect when view a whitish coloring to the treated area making nearby areas appear pinker than normal. On darker skin is actually a harder to determine. If there is any doubt about whether the person will have respond to this procedure, make sure to have them speak of it to their doctor before using the product, several cases of reactions have been reported by people that did not follow these guidelines.
These pre-deadeners are around for professional tattoo artists through their tattoo supplier and are not 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 the outlining is done, another type of deadener is ready. 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. It can be sprayed on or applied to your once the skin is ‘broken’ from the tattoo needle and need to also be tested on a small area beforehand to make sure the client will have no adverse problem. Again, this product is not generally available to potential fans and patrons but can come by a professional tattoo artist working in a licensed studio. Are already usually lasts 45 minutes to 60 minutes per application as well as its advised not added with the product higher 4 times within sitting with clients to avoid heart palpitations, and other unpleasant side effects.
Some artists refuse to offer these deadeners saying it causes the tattoo to heal poorly. Others refuse to offer them because within the cost involved in obtaining them. Many of these deadening products are very expensive for moderateness and because they are sometimes in alcohol or witch hazel bases, they very often evaporate quickly and don’t have a long shelf life. Clients usually don’t comprehend that their tattoo artists will talk on your tattoo experience once the client is gone. 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 customer comes back to your same artist for many more work, because the artist knows it’ll be a difficult tattoo to prosper due to the actual pain vocalizations on the client, and making an attempt to get a complaining client to sit still. Sitting is still the number one reason some tattoos do not turn up well. Talking during the cell phone, bringing children into the studio and paying more attention for them than the tattoo procedure, and poor aftercare are some other reasons why a tattoo might not come out well. But, using deadeners usually lacks any effect around the quality of the tattoo or the healing process then.
