Getting a tattoo does hurt but not too much. The pain is relative and depends on your pain tolerance level, the location and size of your tattoo, the skill and technique of your tattoo artist, and your mood and mindset. Some people compare it to a hot scratching feeling, a cat scratch, a sunburn, or a bee sting. Some people enjoy the pain while others find it unbearable. You can manage the pain by breathing deeply, listening to music, talking to a friend, or using numbing cream or spray. If the pain is more than you think you can take, speak with Love about options. She strives to make this a good and memorable experience - and not for the wrong reasons!

To take care of your tattoo after the session, you should:

-Follow the aftercare instructions that Love will give you at the end of your session, or you can see in depth care here [link to aftercare].

-Keep your tattoo bandaged for at least 2 hours and then gently remove the bandage in the shower under running water. Wash your new tattoo with mild soap and water. Let your tattoo air dryl and apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizer (A&D Ointment).

-Repeat the washing and moisturizing process 2-3 times a day for the first week or until your tattoo is fully healed.

-Avoid soaking, scratching, picking, or rubbing your tattoo. Also avoid direct sunlight, swimming pools, hot tubs, or saunas until your tattoo is fully healed.

-If you experience any signs of infection, allergic reaction, or other complications, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

The price of your tattoo depends on several factors, such as:

-The size, complexity, and style of your tattoo design

-The location and placement of your tattoo on your body.

-The amount of time and materials required to complete your tattoo.

-The level of demand and availability of Love.

The minimum charge for any tattoo is $200, the same as her hourly rate. You can get a better understanding of cost by booking a consultation. This fee is non-refundable if you or the artist decide not to move forward with the project.

Tipping your tattoo artist is appreciated. Their costs include their materials, sanitation supplies as well as their time and skill. The usual tip range is 15% to 20% of the total cost of your tattoo.

Getting a tattoo if you have a medical condition or take medication may not be advisable depending on the nature and severity of your condition or medication. You should always seek the advice of your personal health care provider because there are some medical conditions that may affect your ability to get a tattoo. Some examples include: diabetes, blood disorders, heart problems, skin diseases, immune system disorders, allergies, infections, or pregnancy . Some medications that may affect your ability to get a tattoo include: blood thinners, antibiotics, steroids, immunosuppressants, anticoagulants, or accutane. You should consult with your doctor before getting a tattoo if you have any medical condition or take any medication that may affect your healing process, increase your risk of infection, bleeding, scarring, or allergic reaction as any of these may impact your health and interfere with the quality of your tattoo.

Getting a tattoo if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding is not recommended because of the potential risks involved. Aside from the various health risks, there is also a risk of affecting the quality of your tattoo due to hormonal changes that may cause skin stretching, sagging, discoloration, fading, or distortion. It is best to wait until after you have given birth and stopped breastfeeding before getting a tattoo.

Cover-ups may be an option, depending on the piece, location, size and color. The best way to know is to book a consultation and discuss your options with the artist.
