Tatty for Xmas
Look for a reputable shop. They should have a picture book of thier work out for you to see. They should also have single use needles and not sterilize them to re use on someone else.
Hourly rates are around 100-120 with a $40 minimum.
To be honest here, it does hurt a little bit. The first tattoo i ever got, the outlining hurt like friggin` hell, but the shading was done with a quadruple needle and didnt hurt at all.
This one hurt more cause it was all done with a single needle.
He took my full page drawing and made it to the size you see and put it on "ink" paper. Basically the same thing as a kids water transfer tattoo. He takes good old pitstick and rubs the area after it is cleaned, then presses the transfer on.
Pours the ink into little containers, opens the needle pack and inserts it into the gun and gets busy.
A good tattooist will watch over your well being. You might turn a little white or feel dizzy. Not many people do, but it is a personal reaction to the process and every1 is different.
The best way I can explain the pain involved with this Hot Stuff tat is a feeling of dragging a push pin across your skin with a slight drag.
A good tattoo will be a person that has skin like a sponge and also bleeds just a little.
Hope that clears it up some.
oh...and certain parts of the body will hurt more than others. Also pick up some cream to keep the tat from drying out and cracking. Something like Mecca cream works the best/ Thier will be scabbing and tenderness for 10-20 days.
The wife smacked my arm and nearly got tattoes by me...hehehe. Atleast she felt bad and cooked me a nice dinner. my kid on the other hand thinks its great to give me a shot in the arm, cause after the toe thing, i cant run as fast anymore, so hegets away on me.
