Is Tattoo Pain Unbearable?

With the increase in the number of people getting tattoos, the fear of tattoo pain and infection has also greatly increased. People often ask, “Did That Pain, or how much does it pain?” And the answers are somewhat like:

“It depends where you get it. The one on my lower back only got close to unbearable when they were directly over my vertebrae. The one on top of my foot was constant, pleading pain. The guy actually had to lean on my foot to keep it still because the needle was hitting so many nerves that were causing my foot to twitch with pain. I actually left that tattoo as black and white because I couldn’t bear the thought of sitting through the shading!” – crayfish (courtesy:weddingbee.com)

“They hurt more or less in different areas for sure. Healing is painful in itself too… they itch so bad it hurts and you can’t scratch so it makes me crazy.”

“The back was not that bad, I was able to finish all the way through no problem. But the chest one was almost unbearable. The chest is a bad spot.” (Courtesy: yahooanswers.com)

How it Feels?

It hurts of course, it does! For some, it’s really hard to even describe. There are areas where tattoos hurt the most. The reason is obvious. There’s a thick needle that goes faster and pierces into your skin.

It also depends on the amount of pain one can bear. What one person considers painless could be devastating to another. If you have immense patience, you won’t feel it much. It’d feel like a pin scratch to you! But, if you cannot bear even a little, getting a tattoo would be like dying for you! It could make you feel like a getting a hit at the scrotum from the bull’s horn. :D

Tips to Control Tattoo Pain

·         NEVER have a tattoo during a hangover. You’ll feel more pain because the body will be a little delicate.

·         DON'T have a tattoo when you are not physically well or your tattoo pain could be a lot more painful.

·         Choose an area of your body that is less bony and has more flesh.

·         The pain tolerance is highest in the morning because of the peak levels of adrenaline. Therefore, schedule your tattoo for the morning.

USE numbing gel to get an ‘ouch less’ tattoo. If you are going to have tattoos in a sensitive place, use some of it to calm your tattoo pain.
