Does it hurt to get a tattoo?

Let’s be honest: tattoos come with some pain — but at Bullfinch Tattoo Atelier, we do everything to make the process smooth, respectful, and focused on your comfort.

‍

Pain levels vary: arms and thighs are usually easy to sit through, while ribs or hands might be more sensitive. But our artists work gently, check in with you often, and pace sessions according to your needs.

If you’re nervous, we’re here to guide you. We’ll talk through the process, recommend numbing options when appropriate, and help you stay calm and grounded.

‍

The truth? Yes, it can hurt — but you’ll be surprised how empowering it feels. And you won’t be alone — we’re with you from the first line to the last.
