Tattoo Checklist Before Getting a Tattoo | Página 15

Pain, pain, pain
Getting a tattoo WILL hurt. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying or only
has a one-inch tattoo on the wrist. The process involves multiple needles puncturing
your skin in order to insert ink. We don’t know about you, but none of that sounds
particularly pain-free.
The bigger the tattoo and the more elaborate the design, the more pain experienced.
The location of the tattoo is also a big factor when it comes to the pain level (more on
this below). Again, getting a tattoo will hurt. There will also be blood, obviously. So if
you have an aversion to needles or blood or generally have a low pain threshold, we
suggest thinking extra-hard about getting a tattoo.
The design
Don’t rush when picking a tattoo design. Just don’t. You might regret it as soon as the
tattoo artist inserts the last drop of ink. You need to spend lots of time researching
the design. You can check out all sorts of tattoos on Google to come up with ideas.
You can even get a tattoo artist to help you with the design. Actually, the latter is
recommended, especially if you want a really personal design.
