Whether you're curious what a tattoo feels like (spoiler: a cat scratch) or what the best tattoo guns aftercare is so you can have everything ready in advance, this is exactly what you need to know before getting a tattoo. .
How much does a small tattoo cost? • A good tattoo is not cheap and a cheap tattoo is (usually) not good. The price of a tattoo depends on the size, the area of the body you want to cover, the artist, and the store's minimum, but typically one will cost you from $ 50 for a small tattoo ... up to a few months' rent for plus. elaborate art. Yes really. In most places, prices are non-negotiable, and you should also factor in a 20 percent tip.
How does a tattoo feel? • Realistically, getting a tattoo feels like someone is scratching your skin with a hot needle, because that's what is happening. But Roman would also compare the feeling of getting a tattoo to the feeling of a constant cat scratch (all my cat ladies know what it means). After about 15 minutes, his adrenaline will kick in and help control some (emphasis on "something") of the pain, but if he's doing a bigger piece, Roman says the pain can come in waves.
What does it feel like after a tattoo? • It's totally normal if your skin is swollen, red, or tender afterward (sort of like a bad sunburn), but try not to put constant pressure on it or rub it too hard. In this case we suggest you to tell your tattoo artist to use best wireless tattoo machines. According to Dr. Henry, the most worrisome adverse reaction is pain that gets worse by the day, which could be an indication of infection. In which case, visit your doctor as soon as possible. • When deciding on the location, you must also take into account the healing process and how it will affect your daily existence. A tattoo on the back of the thigh, for example, can make sitting for the first few days a bit tricky, while a tattoo under the chest can interfere with wearing a bra for a week. Try to plan ahead and accommodate those things to avoid further agitating the area.
Where is the least painful place to get a tattoo? • How much do tattoos hurt? How does tattoo pain feel? I'm going to cry ?! Hey, I get it, those are normal and very real questions. And the answers ... vary, depending on the size of the tattoo and where it is located on your body (smaller tattoos on the meatier parts of your body will hurt less). Roman says tattoos on the wrist or forearm tend to be pretty easy places to start, but a pinch test (yes, literally pinching yourself with your nails) is a good indicator of which areas of your own body may be more sensitive than other. • Although everyone experiences pain differently, you can expect tattoo pain to be worse in the ribs, feet, ankles, neck, back of the knees, or the inside of the elbows. Really, anywhere that has a high level of nerve endings and little fat. So if you were planning to get a tattoo in one, or all, of those areas, be prepared. Or have some Tylenol (not ibuprofen, aspirin, or even a quick sip of tequila, as they all thin the blood and can make the process dangerous).
What should you avoid before getting a tattoo? • I'll say it again in case you missed it: alcohol. Roman says that firing a few shots right before getting the tattoo not only dilutes the blood, which can make it bleed more during the tattoo (which is risky), but excess blood can thin the ink and affect the final result. . • You will also want to avoid the sun beforehand. Remember I said that a tattoo can feel like a sunburn? Yes, the last thing you want to get tattooed is sunburned or dry, flaky skin. Oh, and if you've never shaved a particular area that you want to tattoo and you're not sure how to do it, just don't. It's best to have your tattoo artist help you with this or do it for you so that you don't risk getting a lot of razor burns that could interfere with getting a tattoo done.
How do you deal with tattoo pain? • How do I put this right? You will have to put up with it. As tempting as a numbing agent may seem, Roman does not recommend them because they can affect the texture of the skin and therefore make it more difficult to deposit the ink. If you absolutely must use an anesthetic cream, talk to your artist beforehand and make sure they agree with what you are using. • In general, treat the night before a tattoo as you would (or should) before an important exam: get a good night's sleep, eat a full breakfast, stay hydrated, and don't show up hungover or drunk. Roman says that ultimately, all of these things could affect the way you handle pain, even if it's not a particularly sensitive area of the body. Roman's final tip is to bring some kind of distraction, like snacks, Netflix, a friend, a book, anything to keep your mind occupied and make the pain a little more manageable.
What do I need to know before I get a tattoo? • Having an idea of the design you want like Johnny depp tattoos or anything else and where you want to place it is important to know beforehand, yes, but choosing your tattoo artist is the key to getting a tattoo that you will be happy with. Make sure the place looks clean, has good artwork on the walls, and receives good vibes from the staff, then schedule a consultation with the artist to discuss pricing and any questions you may have.
