Do Tattoos Hurt

Let’s talk about the big question: do tattoos hurt? At OSCO, we’re all about giving you the straight talk while ensuring you’re fully prepared for your tattoo journey. The truth? Yes, tattoos involve some discomfort, it’s part of the process. But here’s the good news: the experience is entirely manageable and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

 

What Does Tattoo Pain Feel Like?
The sensation can vary depending on the person and the tattoo’s location. Most describe it as a scratching or burning feeling, with some areas being more sensitive than others. Places like the ribs or hands might feel a bit sharper, while areas with more padding, like the upper arm, tend to be easier to handle.

 

Factors That Affect Tattoo Pain

• Placement: Spots with thinner skin or close to bones can feel more intense.

• Design Complexity: Intricate tattoos may require longer sessions, but we’ll make sure you’re comfortable throughout.

• Your Tolerance: Pain is personal, what feels intense to one person might be mild to another.
