<< i know i should have answered ur que!! hehe
Depending on your pain threshold I would say expect pain. And maybe some bleeding too.
I know some people who got them done, and they said for the first few minutes into it, it hurts like hell, but then it goes numb so you won’t feel anything after that.
When the tatts are done they usually end up red around. It’ll take a while for it to settle in. I don’t know much, but this is what I know!!!
since this is your first, you will want to keep your blood sugar level high, so drink things like orange juice which will help during the tattooing process.
The pain differs depending on your personal tolerence to pain and where you get it. But in my experience it has not been too bad. The needle feels more like a scratch and the moment it is off your skin the pain is gone. after your tattoo you should get a care sheet on how to care for it but just remember to keep it clean and moist. you dont want to scratch, pick or peel your new tattoo at all. make sure that it is also something you really want, dont go in and pick something off of a wall. also make sure you shop around for the perfect artist, meet with them and check out portfolios to find an artist that can give you the look you want.
good luck and have fun!
This is going to depend on your pain tolerance and the size, detail, and location of the tattoo as well as how experienced the artist doing it is.
As far as my personal experience I have 13 tattoos, pain rating 1-10, 10 being worse

I have a low pain tolerance, most of them feels like you have a sunburn and someone is running something sharp over it. Some feel irritating, some vibrate from hitting a bone which leaves a weird sensation, some feel like there in a totally different place then where your getting tattooed.
The first couple of days you need to put a very light coat of a&d or non scented lotion. Do not pick or scratch at your tattoo. Do not keep your tattoo in direct sunlight, it will cause it to fade. Wait until it is healed to go swimming. Keep clothes from rubbing it. Your tattoo artist will tell you this and more. Hope this helped
feels like PAIN. . .
You need to know about the risk of hepatitis C which kills and is on the rise so make sure if you do get one that the tattoo is done with a new needle and stay healthy.
Its not painful it just feels irritating on the skin like sand paper being rubbed on it bUt always keep in mind a cheap tattoo isn’t a good tattoo I got my last name on my ribs and its cost 200 dollars the best place to get it would be on the arm or somewhere it can be hidden until you wanna show it off hope this helps.
The amount of pain depends on your pain tolerance and where you decide to get the tattoo, some areas of the body are more tender to tattoo then others and the tattoo can feel like a bad sun burn after you get the tattoo. To me it felt like a cat with very sharp nails constantly scratching my skin.
Most shops offer after care instructions so don’t forget to ask about them as you’re ready to leave.
Usually for after care you will need some plain unscented white lotion or tattoo ointment and apply that about 1-3 times a day during the first week then for the second week apply lotion 1-2 times a day. Also washing your tattoo with plain unscented bar of soap like Dove or Ivory regularly. If you have to touch your tattoo wash your hands before you touch it. Don’t itch or pick at the scabs and don’t slap your tattoo when it gets itchy. Shower as normal with unscented bars of soap, don’t rub your tattoo, pat it dry with a towel and don’t wear any clothing that would be rubbing against it too much. Finally no swimming or suntanning until your tattoo completely heals which can take 2-4 weeks.
