Tattoos can be painful
Tattooing is a process in which a needle is inserted into the skin to inject pigment into the skin. The tattoo itself is a small skin wound, so the tattoo will definitely have a certain pain.However, why do many people say that tattoos don't hurt at all?
There are only two answers to this question:
A. This person has a relatively strong anti-pain ability, or has tattooed a less painful part, so the pain is not obvious, so he doesn't remember when you ask him.
B. He is lying to you.
Everyone's sensitivity to pain is different
Regarding pain, everyone's feelings cannot be objectively evaluated.For myself, I have also tried a lot of tattoos on painful parts, but how should I say it? That's it, some parts are even more itchy than painful.I have also seen many clients. Some of them can get tattoos for several days and fall asleep during the tattooing. Some of them shed tears as soon as they get acupuncture.Some people were especially afraid before getting a tattoo, saying that they were afraid of pain, but when they asked when they got a tattoo, they said that it was just a little numb.
Regarding pain, I think that it is like if you like to eat oranges and sour ones, then you will feel that sweet and sour oranges are very sweet, and if you only eat sweet ones, then you will feel sour Sweet oranges are also sour.
It's true that pain exists, but many times it's just scaring yourself.
Pain levels vary in different parts of the body
Although the skin of the human body is a whole, the pain of tattooing in different parts is indeed different.Generally speaking, the places where the pain is relatively mild or not even felt are probably in the upper arm, forearm, calf, and back, which are the parts with more muscles. Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, many people will feel that there is a lot of meat in the buttocks without pain.
However,that's not the case.People with hip tattoos are real warriors in my eyes!
Other parts, such as the front chest, elbows, knees, neck, wrists, inner thighs, ribs, stomach, etc... These parts will be slightly painful, but they are all within the tolerable range.And close to the bone, the bone will vibrate, but it is actually not as painful as you think. It should be noted that areas close to the lymphoid tissue such as the front of the neck, armpits, and extremely thin skin such as the hands and feet are generally more painful.
The pain is related to the length of the tattoo
In terms of time, many people's tolerance time is about 3-4 hours.
In the first few minutes, you may need to get used to the pain of the tattoo, but after a while, you will feel that the tattoo is less painful. But as time goes on, your physical strength is constantly being consumed, and your mental state is not as full as it was at the beginning, and you will feel more pain because of this.It's as if you can run the next 1500m and feel a little uncomfortable, but when you go to run a marathon, you feel like it's not going to work.
After each person's limit time, they will only feel more and more pain, and relatively speaking, it will also affect the coloring of the tattoo artist. Therefore, generally larger patterns, such as flower arms and legs, are generally not done at one time, but are done in several times.
The pain is also related to the tattoo artist's technique
In the matter of tattoos, there is a term called "skin lesions". As the name suggests, it can be understood as the degree of skin damage, and a mature tattoo artist can control the skin damage. Needling that is too deep or uneven can cause additional pain.
Some tattoo artists will pursue details and cause a little skin damage. However, for some unqualified tattoo artists, because of uneven needle placement and repeated piercing of the same part, it will affect the coloring and the final effect, and will also cause serious damage. Great pain or skin growth.
Therefore, it is also very important to choose a professional tattoo artist if you want to get a tattoo less painful.
Try to enjoy the pain of the tattoo
You must have heard this quote: "Tattoos are an addictive pain."Tattoo itself is a record of life, it has various meanings and expressions, pain is to deepen your impression of this event, this person or this belief. So enjoy it, it's part of getting a tattoo.
