Should I stop taking my meds before getting a tattoo?
In general, yes, meds can affect the tattooing and healing process. Blood thinners can increase bleeding while getting tattooed, making it tougher for the artist and potentially affecting the ink’s quality. Healing can also be tricky with these meds. Some antibiotics can cause problems, too, since they might try to reject the ink. Every medication has different side effects, so it’s always a good idea to talk to your doctor before getting a tattoo to ensure everything’s safe.
Does it hurt to get a tattoo?
Pain varies for everyone. Most people find it tolerable, and the result is worth it. Less than 1% of people find it so painful they need to stop. The beauty and pride of a tattoo usually outweigh any discomfort.
Can I drink alcohol before my tattoo?
No, alcohol thins your blood and can make you bleed more, which makes the tattooing process harder and affects the quality. Avoid drinking before your appointment. Plus, drinking can make the healing take longer — the wound might bleed more, and the ink can get washed out. It’s best to stay off alcohol until your tattoo is fully healed.
Can I take painkillers before my tattoo?
It’s best not to. Regular painkillers don’t help with tattoo pain and can thin your blood. Some numbing creams exist, but they can affect healing. Always discuss any pain management with your artist first.
