How much does it hurt to get a tattoo?
Getting a tattoo is not very painful nowadays because modern tattoo equipment is such that the needles go in and out of your skin very quickly. You’ll be completely able to carry on a normal conversation while getting your tattoo.
Of course, depending on your tattoo designs and location, the amount of discomfort can vary to some degree. Generally speaking, tattooing over bone – where there’s little flesh or fat – hurts a bit more. So getting a tattoo on the fleshy part of your arm probably won’t hurt much at all, but directly over your ankle bone or collar bone may be more painful – though still quite bearable.
Is it safe to get a tattoo?
If you go to a professional tattoo shop where the proper tattoo equipment is used, getting a tattoo is very safe.
How long does it take to heal?
As for all things, this differs from person to person, and is directly affected by proper aftercare. The tattoo appears healed within a week to 10 days, but may take up to a month to heal completely.
