Knee tattoo hurts?
However, a common question is whether knee tattoo hurts.
According to experts, because it is a sensitive area, the level of pain can be greater, even more so compared to ankle or calf, for example.
The skin in the knee area is thinner, apart from some nerves that increase the feeling of pain as soon as the needle passes. In addition, it is a more difficult place to tattoo, so it is essential to find a comfortable position at the time of the session.
However, as we always point out here, pain is relative. There are people who tolerate more, others have no tolerance. If you fit the second case, it's better to choose other areas of the leg to scratch, like the calf, for example.
As for those who insist on tattooing their knee, the idea is to relax a lot, eat well and look for distractions during the session. Thus, the pain is in the background and when you least expect it, the tattoo is ready.
If you choose to do a simple drawing, the session can be one-off and quick. On the other hand, those who want a colorful tattoo or one with various effects should have more patience until it is ready.
In any case, clear all doubts with the tattoo artist before tattooing and always follow his instructions so that it heals perfectly.
Remember that because it is an area with a lot of movement, care must be greater. Avoid as much as possible wearing tight pants in the days after the session. You must keep the area relaxed until it heals.
