FabSwingers.com forum: Tattoo or not tattoo…

By *amantha_Jade OP Woman

Newcastle

I’m thinking about getting my first tattoo and want some honest advice about how painful it actually is, as I am a complete wimp.

I’m considering getting a small rose with a stem and some sentimental words on my wrist / forearm.

Would this be a good place to start? I know some areas are more or less painful than others. Do the numbing gels work? Also, how big would the letters need to be to prevent bleeding of the ink over time?

Finally… If anyone has any recommendations for amazing tattoo artists in the North East (if that’s allowed), please send them my way

Thanks in advance x

I have two small tattoos and I didn't find them painful. A bit stingy nothing more.

I find them quite therapeutic, it’s an enjoyable pain in my opinion, you can actually get numbing cream now, though I can’t speak to if it works or not

Do it!!!

Asking about pain is pointless because it's subjective, some people handle pain better than other and some people find tattoos more painful than others

When I was younger I could sit for hours but as I get older I can not handle the pain at all

Numbing creams do work if they're applied properly

In terms of size/bleeding your tattoo artist should be able to advise you what would be best for 1 the style you've chosen and 2 your skin type

It does hurt. The outline is a bit more painful as it’s one needle, where as the shading or colour is a few.

My last one on my forearm wasn’t as bad as I’d remembered.

I have a sleeve and various others dotted over my body. As the time goes on it does become easier, plus if the tattooist is chatty it’s a good distraction

I’ve got loads and yes, they all hurt! But it’s less painful than you expect it to be. Dr Numb is a good topical cream which works as I had to use some near my armpit when I had a sleeve done.

Go for it lass.

Little words off incurmenent just go for it

In terms off pain level emmm I am not shour

I never had that part tattooed also everone is different and feels pain different

For my self I jumped in head first deep end

Ie my first tattoo was

Full sized stomach rocker one off the most painful place to get done

My second tattoo I didn’t take it easyer I just jumped further in with get the side off my neck done

So not really shour on the pain level as most would be a breeze to me after those

As far as numbing gels go yes they work

But also don’t work don’t feel pain at the time

But when wore off the pain hits you all at ones

But I will say _ou only live once go for it

Go for it. Don't use numbing cream as it can affect the tattoo.

As for pain that depends on your pain threshold. I have slept through tattoos a few times so it's not that sore.

Get a decent after care cream too.

Embrace the pain. So it as a challenge you get through to 'earn' your tattoo.

Forearm can be one of the least painful. (Though depends on where you are in your cycle.) If you go up towards your elbow, or closer to the wrist, you'll feel it more.

They can effect the skin, resulting in an imperfect tattoo.

Also, if a longer job, they wear off and you're suddenly facing fresh pain in the middle of the session. Better to go with the pain and get those endorphins flowing.

Wrist is just a little stingy, as there's not much flesh there. But if it's only small, it won't take long and a soon as it's done you forget about the pain.

I doubt you will, tbh. You can chat to the tattooist - so many questions to ask about tattooing, etc.! - text friends, look at the wall art, see how it's developing and more.

But if you're like almost everyone I know with a tattoo, you'll be thinking about your next one before you leave the studio!

Before you use numbing cream, speak to the artist you choose. Mine said not to use it because it makes the skin react differently to the needle. Also, each artist will have their own aftercare advice which can change over time as they try new methods. Key point is NOT to pick at any part that is healing & to wash it gently + keep it moisturised. Like some others, I used bepanthen & then go to normal skin cream when it has healed well.

Thank you for the advice. Your tattoos look great. My biggest fear would be getting it and it looking crap and smudgy. I want it too look sharp and beautiful. I also want the style of writing to be quite delicate… am I being unrealistic?

I use TLC which is good. Hardest part is when it starts itching.

The tattooist will wrap it in cling film when they’re done and tell you to wash it when you get home. Whenever I get a tattoo I do this, but then I re-wrap in cling film and wash and change it three times a day.

My last tattoo didn’t scab at all, just had a little bit of flaky skin and it’s still sharp looking

What you describe you want is single needle artwork/script.

Any good tattooist can do this for you, never rush into a design idea. Take your time finding what you want done then take it to a tattoo artist to discuss your design and not something

out of a book thousands of other people have. Most decent artists have waitlists so you will have plenty of time to perfect what you want.

As mentioned above never use anything on your skin without speaking to them first as some creams can cause the needles to slip or make your skin bleed more which you really don't want.

As long as a tattoo isn't being placed on top of a bone it really shouldn't be painful also depending on the colour and shading used my first tattoo was approx 8x10 and took 4 hours to complete and only started getting uncomfortable in the last 20 mins of it as its black and grey with shading

I was also told to never use Bepanthen cream on tattoos as its a barrier cream designed to seal over things like a rash on babies so no infection can get through it. That also means your skin can't breathe through it to heal properly.

A tattoo once finished is effectively open (raw) skin which only heals with correct aftercare and fresh air once you have gone past the wrapping stage.

My tattoo artist uses a special 2nd skin dressing which stays on for a week to 10 days and then you peel it off. Wash the skin like normal and you don't get any itchy,dry or scabbing over skin. It's effectively healed already.

I've only ever used Stories and Ink tattoo care products and I have tattoos now that are 10 plus years old and they still look the same as to the day they were done with no colour loss at all.

A tattoo should look perfect if taken care of all the time, not just the healing process

I find the 1st few minutes the worse then you get used to it. Afterwards it’s like really bad sunburn but paracetamol knocks it off. The itching as it heals is pretty annoying and knowing you can’t scratch is tough.

But if you can stand the discomfort it can be quite addictive

Wrist is painful, it's a very sensitive area on most people. Forearm isn't bad.

Regardless of all that, get numbing cream. Ignore those who spout nonsense about "pain being part of a tattoo". Use the cream for your first, you won't use it again when the bug bites. VERY few people stick at ONE tattoo. They're so addictive! Especially when you have a design or 2 in mind.

Go for it though, you'll not regret it and artists are so down to earth and understanding if they're good at what they do. Just say how you feel. Just remember though; "good work ain't cheap, and cheap work ain't good". Mine compared to Fumbles are evidence of that and he's now paying a fortune to cover them up.

Numbing cream doesn't affect the quality of the tattoo as long as you use a cream that is tattoo friendly

And there's no 'earning' your tattoo, if you have the money to pay for it then get it, this whole 'earning' business is nonsense

"I don’t have any and not planning on getting one either. I don’t have the idea of having something permanent on my body"

This is why I’m deliberating so much about it… can’t exactly wash them off

"And there's no 'earning' your tattoo, if you have the money to pay for it then get it, this whole 'earning' business is nonsense "

I presumed it would be obvious to everyone and their gimp that 'earning' was not meant literally.

However, I'm genuinely confused by the vitriol to that idea expressed by you and others. When I was going to get my first tattoo I was exceedingly anxious. It was a helpful frame for me to get through that. Focusing on the goal and thinking that I would look back at my tattoo and think, "Yeah, I went through that!" was helpful for me to endure the pain.

Helpful for me (the first time), apparently helpful for the OP and helpful for many many others. The fact you don't think it would be helpful (or necessary) for you does not make it "nonsense."

I have 2. Top of my spine (didn't feel it) and then inside of my wrist which hurt a bit more (tho I do have a high pain threshold). Only thing I would say about the wrist is that it is almost always visible to all...so just be really sure you want it. I have no regrets for what it's worth!

I think it's hard to say as different people have different sensations I have my chest done and didn't hurt as much as I thought then got my wrist done and it was killer.

Im in the camp of if you really want it then go for it and the pain will be worth it.

Yes definitely get one if you want one, the pain actually isn't that bad and the worst part is the itch when it's healing.

Never used the numbing cream but apparently it's ok and takes the edge off.

Don't get it done anywhere ultra sensitive or boney and don't go too big for first one.
