Pain levels depend on your personal pain tolerance and the tattoo location. Sensitive areas like ribs, neck, or elbows can be more painful, but in most cases, the sensation is tolerable—similar to scratching.
2. How should I prepare for the session?
Make sure to get a good night's sleep, eat well, and stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol and coffee the day before, as they thin the blood. Wear comfortable clothing that won’t interfere with the tattooing process.
3. How long does a session take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the design. Small tattoos take about 1-2 hours, medium ones around 3-5 hours, and large projects may require multiple sessions.
4. Are there any contraindications?
You shouldn’t get a tattoo if you’re pregnant, have infections, severe diabetes, epilepsy, or skin conditions in the tattoo area. If you have chronic illnesses, it’s best to consult your doctor first.
5. How do I take care of a fresh tattoo?
I will provide detailed aftercare instructions. Keep your tattoo clean, apply healing ointment, and avoid sun exposure, swimming pools, and saunas for the first two weeks.
6. Can I bring my own design?
Of course! I can refine your design or create a unique tattoo based on your idea.
7. Do you work in all styles?
I specialize in an eclectic mix of styles, but if your request is outside my expertise, I’ll be honest about it. My goal is to ensure a high-quality, harmonious result.
8. What if I really want a tattoo but feel nervous?
That’s completely normal! Message me, and we’ll discuss everything. I’ll help you choose a comfortable placement and size to make the experience as stress-free as possible.
