There are some tattoo artists who work with local anesthesia, this greatly reduces the pain that the client may feel during the time of the tattoo, most do not use it, or leave it for extended sessions once the client no longer supports the pain and must still continue with the session. For many, pain is an important part of tattooing, as some say, "no pain, no gain". Personally, I have never used local anesthesia at the time of making a tattoo, but it is an option, the most important thing, is to be very clear that we want to tattoo in our body, and to know that it will be permanent, to be prepared physically, and mentally, so that the process of the tattoo more than painful becomes pleasant, since it will mark a before and an after, thank you for commenting and enjoying my work.
