Yes, most tattoos hurt to some degree. Everyone will feel discomfort or pain differently as pain tolerances vary. You will feel the vibration of the machine, and light to moderate stinging as the tattoo is being applied to your skin. There may be some soreness after the tattoo session, you may also notice swelling and redness, this can remain for a day or more but typically lasts less than one week.

There are possible risks and dangers associated with the application of each tattoo because needles are opening tiny holes in the skin and depositing a foreign substance, pigment.

We limit the risks of infection by exceeding the standards set by The South Carolina Department of Health.
