Yes, getting a tattoo can be painful, but the level of pain varies based on the individual's pain tolerance and the location of the tattoo. Areas with more nerve endings, thinner skin, or close to bone (e.g., ribs, feet, spine) are typically more painful.

Initial healing takes 1-2 weeks, but the deeper layers of skin can take up to 4-6 weeks to heal completely. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions during this time to avoid infections or complications.

- Follow your tattoo artist’s aftercare instructions, which usually include: - Keep the tattoo clean with mild soap. - Avoid direct sunlight. - Avoid soaking it in water (baths, pools) for at least two weeks. - Apply a recommended ointment to keep it moisturized.

It’s generally advised to avoid getting a tattoo during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to potential risks of infection and the unknown impact of ink on the baby.
