Question 23

Does it hurt? And can I use numbing cream?

Accepted Answer

All tattoo will always hurt. regardless of what anyone says.It is a manageable pain, that is more of an annoyance once you get past the initial pain. and then towards the end, it gets painful again.Every person has a different pain tolerance for different areas of the body, and some people are able to handle the pain better than others. If you’re concerned about the pain, we recommend speaking to your specific artist about their comfort working with numbing cream. Some artists are comfortable with it, while others are not. Using numbing cream can affect the way the skin behaves during the tattoo, as well as the way the tattoo heals afterward. That being said…. You got this. it’s not as bad as your worried mind makes it out to be. We want you to be as comfortable as possible.Get a good nights rest, stay hydrated, eat a meal and bring your favorite snack, and you’ll be just fine.

Can I get tattooed if I'm sick?

Our artists must also value their own health, and reserve the right to cancel your appointment if you show up to get tattooed and are visibly sick. Your tattoo won’t heal well, and will need a touch-up if you get it while you’re sick. So skip the extra time, pain, and money and do the right thing… stay home in bed if you’re feeling ill.

Question 26

Can I get tattooed if I'm pregnant?

Question 28

Does white ink really hurt as bad as people say?

Accepted Answer

White ink itself feels no different than any other pigment we put into the skin.So… NO, white ink doesn’t hurt any worse.Some people tend to say it hurts worse because we tend to put highlights in at the very end, going over areas that were tattooed sometimes hours before. So going back over irritated skin to get the perfect highlight is painful.It makes your tattoo look amazing. and it’s all worth it once its healed.

Question 29

What if I'm allergic to adhesives, or I just don't want to use an adhesive bandage on my tattoo?
