Question

Explain what to expect with getting a tattoo on you pec?

Answer 1

I just got two touched up about a month ago.

One on my shoulder, and one on my chest.

The first time I got my chest done, I noticed it was more painful than my shoulder or back, but had been a while between the two, so it was tough to gauge how much more.

For me the shoulder and back, really didn't hurt at all. The chest, was about three times as painful if I had to guess. Still not bad, but it did hurt, and it did bruise as well All along the outline was yellow afterwards....so dont worry if this happens to you. None of my other tatts really bruised, so I was taken back at first when it happened, but got over it quickly when I realized it was just a bruise.



You'll be fine, it stung a little more, compared to how my other tattoos just felt like heat mostly, and didn't really hurt. But nothing you can't take.

Since you're getting it on your shoulder, it probably won't hurt as much compared to getting it on a fleshy part of your body like the lower back or on your arm or leg where there are more nerves. Make sure you see the tattoo artist pull out a fresh needle that is still in it's sterilized pouched. You wouldn't want to catch AIDS or Hepatitis from the last user! Once he starts, it will be a stinging sensation but after awhile it'll just become numb from the thousands of times the needle punctures your skin and injects ink underneath your skin. Don't worry...it sounds worse than it actually is. It will bleed a little as the tattoo is being formed but the tattoo artist should be wiping it clean as he goes so he can see what he's doing. Once he's done, he'll wipe it down with some antiseptic and rub some antibiotic ointment on it and put a bandage over it to prevent infection. You'll need to keep it covered and away from sun for at least a few weeks because it may fade a little in the sun. Then when it's time for Summer, you can wear all the tank tops and halter tops you want to show off your new body art!

Heres a great article you can read that describes tattoo pain and what areas hurt the most and other factors that contribute to how bad a tattoo might hurt. http://totallysweettattoos.com/does-it-hurt-to-get-a-tattoo.php

Answer 6

It really all depends on your tolerance for pain. I have two on my back that didn't hurt very much at all. The one on my wrist is half the size of those two and hurt much worse. Here's a chart that lays out the body's sensitivity. Maybe it'll help?

Answer 9

If you think your constant pain from your accident is going to improve by getting a tattoo, the ink they use could worsen it, if you become allergic to it.



If you don't think you'll get an allergic reactions to the ink, the FDA have gotten reports from people who have.



Some tattoo colors are harder to remove than others. Laser treatments can turn some tattoos darker instead of lighter, or change them to a different color. The same goes for "permanent makeup," which is a kind of tattoo. It depends on what ingredients went into the tattoo ink to produce the color.



But it can be hard to find out what's in tattoo inks because they usually don't have ingredients listed on the label. Very often, even the tattooist doesn't know what's in the tattoo ink because the company that made it considers the formula "proprietary" (pro-pry-uh-tar-ee). That means it's a trade secret.



Here are some more facts about tattoos:

• FDA has not approved any color additives for injection into your skin.

• People who get a tattoo should not give blood for a year afterward because of the chance of infection.

• Although it happens only very rarely, some people may have an allergic reaction to the dyes used for tattooing. Imagine being allergic to something that's been injected into your skin.

• Or, the tattooist may make a mistake. Who wants to wear someone else's mistake forever?



Speaking of forever, how often do you change your mind about your hair, your earrings, or the clothes you like to wear? It's not so easy when you change your mind about a tattoo.



Although many "temporary tattoos" are legal, some -- especially some of those imported from other countries -- are illegal in the United States because they use color additives that are not approved for use on the skin. FDA has had reports of people having allergic reactions to temporary tattoos.



What about henna temporary tattoos? Henna is a brown to reddish brown dye made from a plant. It is approved only for use on the hair, not the skin. If it is black, or any other color besides brown or reddish brown, it contains other ingredients. It also may contain other ingredients to make the stain darker, make the skin absorb the color more easily, or make the stain last longer.



Could these ingredients hurt you? It depends. Individuals are different and may be sensitive to different things. If you don't know what the ingredients are, it's impossible to tell what they might do if you put them on your skin.
