Does getting a tattoo hurt?
Yes, but the pain varies on your pain tolerance and the location of the tattoo. Areas over bone (like ribs, spine or ankles) tend to hurt more than fleshier parts (like thighs or upper arms).
How much do tattoos cost?
Prices depend on size, artist experience, and time it takes to tattoo. A small tattoo might start around $80-$120.
How long does a tattoo take to heal?
Initial healing takes about 2-3 weeks but full healing (under the skin) can take up to 6 weeks. Proper aftercare is crucial throughout this time.
Can I go to the gym after getting a tattoo?
It’s best to wait at least 2-3 days before working out, especially if the tattoo is in a spot that stretches or rubs. Excessive sweat or movement can cause irritation or slow healing.
Can I drink alcohol before or after getting tattooed?
Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before and after. Alcohol thins your blood, which can increase bleeding and affect ink retention.
What should I do before my tattoo appointment?
Eat a good meal.
Stay hydrated
Avoid caffeine and alcohol
Wear comfortable clothes that allow access to the area being tattooed.
Is it safe to get a tattoo while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Most reputable artists will not tattoo someone who is pregnant or recently postpartum due to increased infection risk and lack of medical research on ink exposure effecrs.
Can I bring a friend to my tattoo appointment?
Absolutely! We just ask you to keep it to 1 friend so we can keep the tattoo area but being congested.
