hi, i am thinking of getting a butterfly tattoo on my hand but ‘im afraid of the pain. I’m concerned that i might move because of the pain. so i was wondering is the pain as bad as people say ( BTW i don’t know a lot of people who have tattoos so i might be misinformed) or is it just uncomfortable? 😮

Hi! I don’t have many tattoos but i can tell that if you really want it you will not think of the pain!Its not so bad anyway and
it’s just for few minutes for something that you will carry on you for all your life 🙂

Are you sure you really want your first tattoo to be on your hand?

Well, if you think that it’s something that is going to be on your body for life, then that should be motivation enough to sit still, I would imagine.

You also have to be mentally prepared to deal with whatever pain there is. It’s going to hurt but you’re fear is only going to make it worse. Don’t be one of those clients who scream and move, you will piss off the artist and end up with a shit tattoo. Pain is relative, some think it doesn’t hurt that much and others disagree. If you’re really that concerned then maybe you should just wait.
