Question 5

Does getting a tattoo hurt?

Accepted Answer

Yes — but in the best possible way. Your brain releases endorphins during the process, so while it does hurt, most people find it surprisingly manageable and even enjoy the experience.

Question 6

How long does a tattoo take to heal?

Accepted Answer

The surface skin takes about one to two weeks to heal, but the deeper layers of skin can take two to three months to fully regenerate. During healing, wash gently with fragrance-free soap 3-4 times daily, apply unscented lotion (Lubriderm or Aveeno recommended), and avoid sun, pools, and picking at the tattoo. See our full aftercare guide at traditionaltatz.com/aftercare.html.
