Tattoos Don’t Hurt Enough?
Posted in technique on 03/05/2009 10:31 pm by HealinPowerThis is gonna sound crazy, but I got a tattoo yesterday, and it doesn’t hurt the way I think it should. I have 6 others, but my last one was 4 years ago. This one was across the inside of my wrist (and it hurt at the time). I also had one on my bicep touched up.
I’m concerned, believe it or not, because they don’t hurt too badly today and there wasn’t a lot of bleeding, and the bigger one on my bicep isn’t “sliming.” Should I be concerned that the artist didn’t get the ink in deep enough, or are there new techniques/equipment that really help them from being so gross and painful in the healing process?
(PS - I’m also using Tat Wax brand for the first time. I used to do the Neosporin/Lubriderm thing which was the standard in the 90s.)
