Does Getting a Tattoo Really Hurt?
One of the most frequently asked questions we hear from first-time clients and aspiring artists is:
“Does getting a tattoo really hurt?”
The short answer is yes—but it’s not as intimidating as it sounds, especially with the right tools and preparation.
At WormholePro, we’re not only committed to delivering precision tattoo equipment—we also believe in helping artists and clients feel confident about every step of the tattooing experience. In this article, we’ll break down what causes tattoo pain, which body areas are more sensitive, and how using professional-grade tools can make all the difference.
🔍 Why Do Tattoos Hurt?
Tattooing works by repeatedly puncturing the skin with ultra-fine needles to deposit ink into the dermis layer. It’s more than just a surface scratch—it's controlled micro-trauma. That’s why the sensation can vary from annoying to intense, depending on the location and duration.
With modern equipment like the WormholePro Wireless Tattoo Machine – Aquila, artists can now work with minimal vibration, smoother voltage control, and efficient power delivery—all of which help reduce unnecessary irritation on the client’s skin.
📍 Pain Levels by Placement
Certain areas of the body are naturally more sensitive. Here’s a quick guide:
| Pain Level | Areas |
|---|---|
| 🔥 High | Ribs, spine, knees, armpits, hands, sternum |
| ⚖️ Moderate | Forearms, calves, chest, shoulders |
| 🌿 Low | Outer upper arms, thighs, buttocks |
Pro tip: The more nerve endings and less fat in an area, the more it’s likely to hurt.
🛠️ Equipment & Technique Matter
Not all tattoo machines (wormhole electrical device) are created equal. Choosing a high-precision machine can directly influence both the tattoo outcome and the client’s pain experience.
WormholePro machines like the Virgo Wireless Tattoo Pen feature:
-
Ultra-stable motor performance
-
Adjustable needle stroke (2.4mm–4.2mm)
-
Real-time digital screen for voltage and mode
-
Lightweight ergonomic design for better control
These features help minimize trauma and allow artists to work more gently—especially when shading or color packing.
🧠 What Tattoo Pain Feels Like
Pain is subjective, but here’s what most clients report:
-
“It’s like a sharp cat scratch.”
-
“It feels like buzzing heat.”
-
“The first few minutes are the hardest—then it levels off.”
Tattooing generally starts with linework, which can feel sharper, followed by shading or coloring, which some find more tolerable. Proper breathing, communication with your artist, and short breaks help keep things manageable.
💡 Tips to Minimize Tattoo Pain
Whether you’re an artist or a client, these practical tips can help:
