Frequently Asked Questions
Does getting a tattoo hurt?
This is one of the most common questions, as pain tolerance varies from person to person, and clients often want to know what to expect. Tattoo artists typically explain that the level of pain depends on the location of the tattoo, the individual's pain threshold, and the size and complexity of the design.
Will my tattoo fade over time?
Clients often ask about the longevity of their tattoo and what they can do to maintain its appearance. Tattoo artists explain that all tattoos fade over time due to factors like sun exposure, skin type, and aging, but proper aftercare can help preserve the tattoo’s vibrancy.
Can I get a tattoo if I have allergies or sensitive skin?
Clients with skin sensitivities or allergies often worry about their reaction to tattoo ink or equipment. Tattoo artists may discuss the types of inks they use, offer a patch test, and provide advice based on the client's specific concerns.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Pricing is a common question, and the answer depends on factors like the size, complexity, and location of the tattoo, as well as the artist's experience. Tattoo artists often provide a general estimate but recommend a consultation for a more accurate quote.
Can I bring my own design, or should I choose from your portfolio?
Clients often wonder if they can bring a custom design or if they should select from the artist's existing work. Most tattoo artists welcome custom designs but might need to make adjustments for tattooing purposes.
