Pain or No Pain?

4 messages · last activity 7/26/2010

Hey everyone. So I've gotten a couple tattoo's and I was wondering if it's super painful to get a tatt on the outside of the foot going up the outside of the ankle...?
You are better off asking your local artist. There are a few idiots that inhabit this forum that will tell you to just eat a bowl of giggle pin soup and do three arm circles in counter clockwise motion while snugging a penguin or something. To answer your question. Everyone has a different pain tolerance. More than likely, it will hurts.
i have a super low pain tolerance. would you suggest putting on a freeze gel?
Hey- If you have a low tolerance for pain and feel that it may be TOO much for you - ask your artist to use a numbing gel or cream. I have some clients who at first are more fearful just for the anticipation of getting a bone-area tattooed, and normally what I would do is do a small area first and see what they feel and their reaction is. I always offer my clients the option of topical pain meds, just helps them relax. Oh and hugging penguins is not a bad idea either-now if I could only find that stupid penguin... must be in the corner doing the circles and sleeping off the pin soup...that shit is funny- sorry!
