Some tattoo artists will say no. Others will say yes. There a wide range of factors to consider obtaining a tattoo and obviously the amount of pain you must go through for that tattoo alter.
Old school tattoo artists are of the mind, that you must earn your tattoo with discomfort 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 This is very outdated way of thinking.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 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. Other areas 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. The 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 in order to give birth. This constitutes 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 you already have several tattoos, what happens to expect and obtain become more immune to the feeling of having a tattoo because you have had to be able to feel what it feels like reward yourself with a tattoo and now you may 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 advisable to pick smaller designs and put them in less painful areas until they become used towards the feeling of developing a tattoo needle pierce their skin 3,000 times a tiny. But, be careful where those small tattoos go. Their tattoo business, outer arms and upper backs, as well as calves of 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 produce that small tattoo look even littler. And, if sometime in the future you decide to get a partial or full sleeve or leg piece, you’ve simply it more challenging design around that tiny tattoo smack dab in the midst 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 added 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 strongly advised to test a small area first to make sure the person receiving the pre-deadener is not going to possess a bad reaction to the cream or ointment. Most pre-deadeners take 45 minutes a minimum of one hour to become effective and usually last 1 to 2 hours. Most times you can tell it is taking effect when observe a whitish coloring to the treated area making nearby areas appear pinker than normal. On darker skin this is harder to observe. If there is any doubt about whether the person will have response to this procedure, always have them discuss it with their doctor before using the product, several cases of reactions have been reported by people who 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 is started.
Once the tattoo has been started, usually after all the outlining is done, another type of deadener is existing. 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 in liquid, spray form or gel. It can be sprayed on or applied to skin once the skin is ‘broken’ from the tattoo needle and must also be tested on a small area beforehand to guarantee the client could have no adverse problem. Again, this product is not generally available to the population but can come by a professional tattoo artist your licensed studio. This product usually lasts 45 minutes to 60 minutes per application and it is advised not to use the product more than 4 times in a single sitting with an individual to avoid heart palpitations, and other unpleasant side good results.
Some artists won’t offer these deadeners saying it may cause the tattoo to heal poorly. Others refuse to offer them because belonging to the cost involved in obtaining them. Many of these deadening products are definitely expensive for moderateness and because are usually sometimes in alcohol or witch hazel bases, they very often evaporate quickly and don’t have a long shelf life. Clients usually don’t find that their tattoo artists will talk towards the tattoo experience the actual client is no longer. 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 to get more detail work, because the artist knows it is going be a difficult tattoo to do well due to could be pain vocalizations for this client, and looking for a way get a complaining client to sit still. Sitting is still the number one reason some tattoos do not emerge out well. Talking to the cell phone, bringing children into the studio and paying more attention for them than the tattoo procedure, and poor aftercare are other reasons why a tattoo might not finally end up well. But, using deadeners usually lacks the any effect using a quality of the tattoo or the healing process afterward.
