Ok, it's a tattoo. If you have not had one before, yes, it hurts. It is sore and can be uncomfortable. If you have a tattoo you know this already. A tattoo should not be a traumatizing experience. With the correct training, and proper equipment, a professional tattoo artist will help you create a piece of artwork that will last a lifetime, and give you a great experience during the process.
I am truly troubled when I hear how someone had a bad experience or was given medication to get them through the tattoo process. A professional tattoo should not be that painful. Please remember it is your body, your choice what tattoo to get, and who you want to do it. If you walk into an establishment and don't feel right about something, or your gut instinct is to walk away, then walk away! Continue to look for a place that will respect your ideas and help you bring them to fruition.
I love my tattoos and I truly thank the artists that have worked on me. I not only love the artwork I wear, but enjoy the memories of the tattoo artist laughing and telling stories.
Does it hurt? That is the question I get most when people see the work that I have gotten done by Bewitched Tattoo and my close friend John Minka. Yes, it hurts. Does a bee sting hurt? Yes. Can you deal with the momentary pain and disc...omfort for a few hours? Absolutely! Is it easy to take care? Is taking care of dry skin or a sun burn difficult? Nope.
ReplyDeleteOnce you sit down, and get in the groove, everything fades away. The fear, the pain, the second thoughts. You get enveloped in the experience. Then when it's done, and you look at the masterpiece that John has created, you really can't believe it's possible!
So......don't be a bitch, just do it! :)See More
