There are only few ways you can make a tattoo feel less painful.

No matter what you do, it will still get swollen, and it will still itch, and it will still be

painful.

There are tips for the Tattoo artist that help the process of tattooing less painful.

When the tattoo artist is working it helps a lot if he/she uses their other hand

to stretch the skin. Stretching the skin can make it feel as if there is not that much pressure added to the needles.

The tattoo artist can also get a spray bottle and put cold water in it. When he/she

gives your skin a rest from tattooing and swelling, they should spray the area with cold water and wipe it down a little. This helps the area of the heated skin, cool down.

There are products that you can buy that i have seen on a couple of tattoo websites.

Ointments that help numb the tattoo. Although it sounds really nice, a lot of tattoo artist dont use it. I myself stick with A & D ointment, but the ointment that is used for numbing is very expensive.

You want to make sure that you also don't drink while getting a tattoo. A lot of people get drunk so they don't "feel" the pain, but that can make it worse. When you drink it thins out your blood, and when your blood gets thinner you bleed more. Not only will it make it feel worse once your sober, but it will give your tattoo a bigger chance of not coming out so good.

Take some painkillers an hour before. I would take as many as the label states you can. The paracetamol I have at home I can take 6 but check your own brand also if it is a muscular area after I would take Antihistamines which will reduce the swelling and pain after the tattoo. And ice it for a minimum of 10 minuets after too
