Some tattoo artists will say no. Others will say yes. There numerous 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 the pain you go through to find tattoo. This is very outdated way of thinking.
Many factors play into how much a tattoo will hurt. One important factor is where the tattoo will be located onto your 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 with regard to more painful areas. Feet 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 produces a normal woman’s pain tolerance usually higher than a guys. Women who have given birth usually tolerate pain better than females who have not been through childbirth.
Additionally, if words several tattoos, do you know what to expect and also become more secure the feeling to getting a tattoo because have had to be able 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 on the feeling of having a tattoo needle pierce their skin 3,000 times a insignificant. But, be careful where those small tattoos go. Inside of tattoo business, outer arms and upper backs, as well as calves among 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 noticable that small tattoo look even lesser. And, if sometime in the future you decide for your partial or full sleeve or leg piece, you’ve just be it more challenging design around that tiny tattoo smack dab in the heart of your planned large piece.
On the market today there are many 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 young area first to make sure the person getting the pre-deadener is not going to possess a bad reaction to the cream or lotion. Most pre-deadeners take 45 minutes to one hour to become effective and usually last 1 to two hours. Most times you can tell it is taking effect when look at a whitish coloring to the treated area making the encircling areas appear pinker than normal. On darker skin this is harder to take note of. If there is any doubt about whether the person will have a reaction to this procedure, make sure to have them speak about it to 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 for sale to professional tattoo artists through their tattoo supplier and aren’t generally available on the public. These pre-deadeners are designed in order to use 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 available on the market. It too can contain Lidocaine (5% concentration is the legal limit a person have a medical license), Benzocaine and/or Tetracaine. Usually this ‘during-the-procedure’ treatment is actually in liquid, spray form or gel. Somebody sprayed on or applied to your skin once the skin is ‘broken’ from the tattoo needle and could also be tested on a small area beforehand to be the client could have no adverse answer. Again, this product is not generally available to the islands but can can be obtained by a professional tattoo artist working in a licensed studio. The product usually lasts 45 minutes to an hour per application and it is advised not unit the product higher 4 times in one sitting with a client to avoid heart palpitations, and other unpleasant side good results.
Some artists refuse enrollment of offer these deadeners saying it causes the tattoo to heal poorly. Others refuse to offer them because with the cost involved in obtaining them. Many of these deadening products are very expensive for moderateness and because usually are very well sometimes in alcohol or witch hazel bases, they often times evaporate quickly and won’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 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 customer comes back towards the same artist for further work, because the artist knows it is going be a difficult tattoo to properly due to could be pain vocalizations of the client, and making an attempt to get a complaining client to sit still. Sitting still is the number one reason some tattoos do not emerge out well. Talking near the cell phone, bringing children into the studio and paying more attention to them than the tattoo procedure, and poor aftercare are other reasons why a tattoo might not finally end up well. But, using deadeners usually do not have any effect located on the quality of the tattoo or the healing process subsequently.
