1. Does it hurt?
Yes! It always hurts to be tattooed. After all, the colour is being inserted into your skin by using needles.

BUT. Tattooing never hurts so much that you can not manage. It is very difficult to explain just how much it hurts, as it is different from person to person, from the place on the body, and even from time to time. The more relaxed and easy you feel, the more easy the process.

Remember that the pain is part of the process! A tattoo is not a simple transfer. It marks you (also) as a person who is special, and who has some degree of endurance.

So do not bother about anesthetics of any kind, and never mix tattooing with alcohol. Being drunk while being tattooed is just an old myth, and absolutely no good.


2.When can i get a tattoo?
In most shops you will have to be over 18 years old, if a shop will do tattoos for underage people then u should think carefully about the place first


3. Can I bring My Own Design?

Yes you may bring your own design! tattooist should even encourage this, since it gives them new ways of seeing things.

But they reserve the right to say no! do not tattoo anything. And if it is too small or too full of teeny weenie details, they could simplify it.


4. Is it safe to get a tattoo?

If you go to a professional tattoo shop where the proper tattoo equipment is used, getting a tattoo is very safe. Decades ago there was concern about getting hepatitis C from tattoos, but this is something all professionals are very conscious of nowadays. If new needles are used for each and every customer, there is no chance of contracting a blood-borne disease. Most tattoo artists will be glad to set your mind at rest by showing you the unopened package of needles they will be using before the tattooing begins. After your tattoo is finished, they should dispose of the needles. Ask about safety policies such as these before you select a tattoo shop.

5. When should i not get a tattoo?

You shouldn’t get a tattoo if you’re drunk or high (and most tattoo shops have a policy in place about this; they’ll refuse to tattoo anyone who appears to be drunk or high or as a sign in one shop says, “just plain stupid”). The other reason for not getting a tattoo is if you’re not sure. Wait until you do feel sure or just don’t get one. This is not a good thing to feel ambiguous about. There are no specific medical considerations, but use your common sense. If you’re sick, wait till you get better.

6.Will having a tattoo make it harder for me to get a job?

If you’re worried, why not get the tattoo in a place where office clothes will cover it? For men at any rate, that still leaves a lot of choices. Even if you can’t keep it covered though, in this day and age it probably won’t matter. Tattoos are a lot more socially acceptable than they ever before and in most workplaces you are judged on the basis of your ability. There are exceptions, of course; there are tattoos that are so prominent and controversial in terms of their appearance or content that they may cause problems for you, just as there are workplaces which are exceptionally conservative. You need to make sure that all aspects of your appearance fit your objectives, and that includes tattoos. But having a tattoo or two certainly won’t preclude you from being gainfully employed – not in this day and age!

7.can i give myself a tattoo at home?, or by a friend?

Technically it may be possible, but certainly not advisable. You should have your tattoos professionally done – otherwise you’re just asking for trouble in the form of an infection or slower healing time. Do-it-yourself tattoos hurt a lot more and they seldom turn out as well as professional tattoos. All in all, it’s definitely not worth it!
