Some tattoo artists will say no. Others will say yes. There are many factors to consider when getting 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 get your tattoo. This is very outdated way of reckoning.
Many factors play into how much a tattoo will hurt. One important aspect is where the tattoo will be located on 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 to be 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 good you tolerate pain. Women are built to take pain better than men, because women are designed to give birth. This an amazing normal woman’s pain tolerance usually higher than a man’s. Women who have given birth usually tolerate pain better than females who have not been through childbirth.
Additionally, if you have already several tattoos, guess what happens to expect and also become more safe from the feeling finding a tattoo an individual have had the ability to feel what it feels like to get a tattoo and it’s easy 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 to the feeling of working with a tattoo needle pierce their skin 3,000 times a insignificant. But, be careful where those small tattoos go. Your past 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 in order to create that small tattoo look even littler. And, if sometime in the future you decide to obtain a partial or full sleeve or leg piece, you’ve just make it more hard to 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 suited for 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 check the person finding the pre-deadener is not going to have a bad reaction towards cream or lotion. Most pre-deadeners take 45 minutes to a single 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 the nearby areas appear pinker than normal. On darker skin famous . harder to determine. If there is any doubt about whether the person will have step to this procedure, make sure to have them discuss it with 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 offered 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 commences.
Once the tattoo has been started, usually after all of 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. It can be sprayed on or applied to epidermis once the skin is ‘broken’ with the tattoo needle and must also be tested on a small area beforehand to be the client may have no adverse problem. Again, this product is not generally available to the population but can be bought by a professional tattoo artist building licensed studio. The product usually lasts 45 minutes to one hour per application and it is advised not unit the product higher 4 times in one sitting with litigant to avoid heart palpitations, and other unpleasant side changes.
Some artists won’t offer these deadeners saying it will cause the tattoo to heal poorly. Others refuse to offer them because for this cost involved in obtaining them. Many of these deadening products have become expensive for control and because they sometimes in alcohol or witch hazel bases, they very often will evaporate quickly and never have a long shelf life. Clients usually don’t find that their tattoo artists will talk on your tattoo experience the actual client is absent. 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 the same artist to get more detail work, because the artist knows it’ll be a difficult tattoo to excel due to could be pain vocalizations of the client, and looking for a way get a complaining client to sit still. Sitting is still the number one reason some tattoos do not turn up well. Talking on the cell phone, bringing children into the studio and paying more attention all of them than the tattoo procedure, and poor aftercare are some other reasons why a tattoo might not turn out well. But, using deadeners usually do not have any effect on the quality of the tattoo or the healing process subsequently.
