Pain

• Does it hurt?

  Yes, getting a tattoo involves pain, but it is usually manageable and varies based on the tattoo's location, size, and your personal pain tolerance. 

Tattoo Design and Cost

• Design:

  Research different tattoo styles, find artists who specialize in those styles, and consult with them to develop a custom design. 

• Cost:

  The price depends on the tattoo's size, complexity, placement, and the artist's experience. 

• Touch-ups:

  You may need a touch-up after the tattoo has fully healed, which some artists offer as part of their service. 

Logistics and Studio Etiquette

• Appointments: You'll typically need to schedule an appointment and leave a deposit. 

• What to bring: Bring your ID, wear comfortable clothes, and eat a good meal beforehand. 

• Guests: Your artist may have policies about bringing guests, such as friends or family.
