The tattoo hurts..., life hurts..... These are empirical facts that should not lead to discouragement. You can get through it without problems, for sure.
A tattoo, unless it is in a very sensitive area, can be carried very well, it is true that it is a nuisance, of course the tattooist has to introduce the pigment into your skin with a needle..... you must feel something otherwise you would be dead.
The tattooist can tell you where the chosen tattoo best combines and indicate if these areas are more painful than others, but you have to choose the area and you must choose for the beauty of the tattoo combining with the area, not for the level of pain, getting the tattoo is a moment, the result is for life.
Each person is a different world, with a different sensitivity to pain. Pain ends up being just another phase in the realisation of your work of art that will mark your body forever.
As we all know, there are areas of the body that are more susceptible to damage than others, but if that specific tattoo has you obsessed, nothing should stop you from getting it.
The best areas for tattooing
If you're thinking about getting your first tattoo but you're not sure you can handle the pain, maybe you should get it done in one of these places on your body. The best areas for getting a tattoo in terms of lower level of pain is where the skin has muscle and is not attached to the bone, it is smoother, not flaccid. The legs and arms are the least uncomfortable places. You hardly feel the needle.
- Back - upper half of the back
- Arm - Forearm
- Leg - Calf and Thigh
The most painful places to get tattooed
The areas with a higher degree of pain in most cases. In areas where the tissue level is lower, the pain becomes intense.
- In the armpit and triceps area
- Ribs and stomach
- Nipples
- Instep and shin
- On the face
- Knee back or Hamstring and elbow
- Mules inner side
Some tips to avoid pain
- Choosing a good tattoo artist. Tattooing is an art.
- Use pain-relieving anaesthetic creams (ask your tattooist beforehand, not all tattooists allow this, as it stiffens the skin).
- Consult with the tattooist about the design and the area, in order to match the area and the tattoo as closely as possible.
- Go to the session accompanied or take your mobile phone with you to entertain yourself if you are thinking about something else and not the tattoo, it hurts less.
- The smaller and simpler a tattoo is, the less painful it is. Large, detailed designs hurt much more.
- Single-colour tattoos are less painful and take less time than multi-coloured tattoos.
- The solid colour areas hurt more, they have more work to do as more pigment has to be put in.
It is clear that no one expects not to go through a certain degree of pain when getting a tattoo. But it is true that some areas are more painful than others. Although we would like to point out that each person has a different sensitivity.
As we have said, life hurts and we live it without wanting to leave it, therefore a tattoo is nothing compared to a lifetime and what you will be able to enjoy forever with your work of art.
