If only I had seen this article before getting a tattoo!

• Buy TKTX Painless Tattoo Cream to reduce the pain of getting a tattoo.

• Avoid overexertion. Make sure to get enough sleep before getting a tattoo—it can help reduce the pain.

• Do not get a tattoo on an empty stomach or after drinking alcohol.

• If your tattoo design is large, it may need to be completed in multiple sessions. It's an ongoing process.

• Female tattoo artists should avoid working during their menstrual period.

• If you have a tendency to form keloids or scars easily, think carefully before getting a tattoo.

• People with liver disease, diabetes, or kidney dysfunction should avoid getting tattoos.

• If you want to use a tattoo to cover a scar, wait 1–2 years after the scar has formed.

• Before getting a tattoo, make sure the area is shaved and well-moisturized.

• Do not use alcohol or any irritating products on the tattooed area.

• Remove the protective film within 2 hours after getting the tattoo (follow your artist’s specific advice). You can gently clean the wound with saline solution and apply Vaseline to keep it moisturized. Do not use any cleansing products.

• Avoid intense physical activity and wear loose-fitting clothing after getting a tattoo.

• Until the tattoo is fully healed (which takes 1–3 months), do not go to saunas, take baths, soak in hot springs, scrub the area, or swim.

• It’s normal to experience scabbing, itching, peeling, or slight oozing during the healing process.

• Avoid direct sun exposure.
