Is it more painful to get a tattoo or to have the tattoo cut?

Many young people have the habit of getting tattoos. Here we would like to remind young people that tattoos are not a trivial matter. You must pay attention to relevant matters before and after getting a tattoo, especially after getting a tattoo, you must pay attention to all aspects of maintenance, such as ensuring adequate sleep, adjusting your personal mental state, and especially not smoking or drinking, etc. Everyone knows that there are two steps to tattooing, namely coloring and cutting, so which of these two steps is more painful?

Is it more painful to get a tattoo or to have the tattoo cut?

Tattoos generally have two stages: cutting lines and fogging. Coloring may refer to fogging. Fogging is generally less painful than cutting lines, because fogging "coloring" normally uses a needle, so it is more comfortable than cutting lines. As for the price, it is determined by the location and the specific circumstances of the tattoo artist. The same craftsmanship in different cities, counties, and towns will have very obvious price differences. In terms of the consumption level at the municipal level, the charge for a shoulder dragon in a county should not exceed 1,500. If it is just cutting lines (no fogging and coloring), 200 to 500 is basically OK. The prices given here are only for qualified tattoo artists, not for novices who have just practiced a few practice skins. If it is a novice tattoo artist, a pack of Zhonghua will be OK.

As tattoos become more popular, many friends who want to get a tattoo but have never tried it have a common question: "Will it hurt? How much does it hurt?" But if tattoos really hurt that much, there wouldn't be so many tattoo enthusiasts trying it. You should be able to conclude that tattooing is painful, but the degree of pain is bearable.

Whether or not getting a tattoo hurts really depends on the individual, because everyone has a different definition of pain. Some people say it hurts a lot, while others say it doesn’t hurt. The pain of tattooing is a stabbing pain because it is caused by a needle. Some people are more sensitive to dull pain, while others are more sensitive to stabbing pain. Moreover, tattoos transfer pigment into the dermis of the skin through a needle, so it is a bit far-fetched to say that it doesn't hurt.

How painful is it to get a tattoo?

It depends on where the tattoo is located. Generally speaking, the areas with the strongest pain are mainly concentrated on the inner skin and areas with obvious bones. The main characteristics of these skins are less subcutaneous fat or muscle. Such as the inner thighs, inner arms, and side waist. Another thing you need to pay attention to is that the area around the lymphatic tissue is very painful, including the front of the neck and armpits, which are more extreme areas.

In addition to the area that can affect the pain, the duration of the tattoo also affects the pain.

The pain of tattooing is absolutely related to the time of tattooing. Everyone has a nerve paralysis defense time, which varies from person to person and is also related to each person's mental state. The longer it takes, the more energy you'll have consumed, the more pain you'll feel, and the more difficult it will be to color. That's why large images like tattoos on arms and full backs can't be completed in one go.

In addition to the two reasons mentioned above, there is another important point: the tattoo artist is also the key to the pain.

If you observe more, you will find that some masters bleed when they cut the thread. It cannot be said whether the master's technique is qualified. It can only be said that the use of round needles can absolutely prevent bleeding. Whether there is bleeding or color seepage is directly caused by the depth of the needle. A good tattoo artist is fast and accurate in inserting the needle, and only a thin scab will form during the recovery process. A bad tattoo artist will be slow (the longer the tattoo takes, the more painful it is), the needle insertion will be uneven (which will affect the coloring effect), and the recovery process will leave thick black scabs, which are skin damage.
