Does getting a tattoo hurt?!

So, you've decided to get a tattoo on your beautiful (or not so) body. You've chosen a sketch, found a tattoo artist, and maybe even signed up for a session. But there's a small but VERY important question: "DOES IT HURT TO GET A TATTOO?!" This question is often asked by women, although in practice, girls tolerate the tattoo process better than men.

Let's figure it out: the process of tattooing is the essence of piercing the top layer of skin with a needle and introducing pigment there. Piercing the skin is not very pleasant, that's understandable, so you are not interested in " DOES IT HURT TO GET A TATTOO ", but " HOW MUCH DOES IT HURT TO GET A TATTOO AND CAN I TOLERATE IT?! "
Pain is, in principle, a very subjective thing and each person experiences it differently. How painful the tattooing process will be for you depends on many factors:

* PAIN THRESHOLD - usually, it primarily determines how painful it is for you to get a tattoo .

* PLACE OF APPLICATION - pain is felt differently in different parts of the body and this difference can be significant. To roughly understand what is what - look at the picture on the right. This is an approximate "pain map")))

* VOLUME OF WORK - if you tattoo a small 2 cm fineline heart or a 15x15 cm Malevich square in the same place - the feelings will be different. The more you need to paint, the more the skin will be injured and, accordingly, it will become more painful.

* PSYCHOLOGICAL MOOD - Don't expect excruciating pain, and it won't happen. Tattooing is not a surgical procedure and the artist only works with the top layer of skin.

* GENERAL CONDITION OF THE ORGANISM - if you get a good night's sleep, have a snack, and go to the session in a good mood before the tattoo session, you can be sure that it won't hurt or the pain will be minimal.

In general, the best way to check whether getting a tattoo hurts or not is to get it :)
