Some tattoo artists will say no. Others will say yes. There are many factors to consider obtaining a tattoo and obviously the amount of pain you must go through for that tattoo will change.
Old school tattoo artists are of the mind, that you must earn your tattoo with soreness you go through to find tattoo. This is rather outdated way of considering.
Many factors play into how much a tattoo will hurt. One important aspect is where the tattoo will be located on a body. Areas such as the 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. An individual and ankles are definitely more painful than locations. 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 designed to give birth. This constitutes a normal woman’s pain tolerance usually higher than a man’s. Women who have given birth usually tolerate pain better than ladies have not been through childbirth.
Additionally, if you can demonstrate some several tattoos, you know what to expect while having become more immune to the feeling of having a tattoo since you have had the opportunity to feel what it feels like to get a 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 wise to pick smaller designs and put them in less painful areas until they become used towards the feeling of having a tattoo needle pierce their skin 3,000 times a little. But, be careful where those small tattoos go. Your past 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 lots of untouched skin around it tends to make that small tattoo look even littler. And, if sometime in the future you decide for your partial or full sleeve or leg piece, you’ve just it more hard to design around that tiny tattoo smack dab in center of your planned large piece.
On the market today there are a couple of types of deadening agents available. Pre-deadeners usually have Lidocaine, Benzocaine and/or Tetracaine in them. Pre-deadeners should be put on 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 young area first to the person receiving the pre-deadener is not going to possess a bad reaction into the cream or ointment. Most pre-deadeners take 45 minutes 1 hour to become effective and usually last 1 to two hours. Most times you can tell it is taking effect when notice a whitish coloring to the treated area making surrounding areas appear pinker than normal. On darker skin is actually a harder to observe. If there is any doubt about whether the person will have a reaction to this procedure, ensure that have them talk 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 to professional tattoo artists through their tattoo supplier and are not generally available to the public. These pre-deadeners are designed to get used on un-broken skin, meaning before the tattooing process begins.
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. May possibly be sprayed on or applied to epidermis once the skin is ‘broken’ from the tattoo needle and could also be tested on a small area beforehand to make sure the client could have no adverse answer. Again, this product is not generally available to men and women but can come by a professional tattoo artist working in a licensed studio. This particular usually lasts 45 minutes to 60 minutes per application that is advised not to use the product in excess of what 4 times in a single sitting with litigant to avoid heart palpitations, and other unpleasant side changes.
Some artists usually offer these deadeners saying it triggers the tattoo to heal poorly. Others refuse to offer them because for this cost involved in obtaining them. Most of these deadening products are very expensive for control and because these sometimes in alcohol or witch hazel bases, they always evaporate quickly and don’t have a long shelf life. Clients usually don’t find that their tattoo artists will talk in respect to the tattoo experience the actual 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 towards the same artist for further work, because the artist knows be a difficult tattoo to excel due to could be pain vocalizations of the client, and wishing to get a complaining client to sit still. Sitting still is 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 inside than the tattoo procedure, and poor aftercare are other reasons why a tattoo might not come out well. But, using deadeners usually doesn’t have any effect located on the quality of the tattoo or the healing process in a while.
