Short answer: yes. Long answer: it depends on where, how, and how prepared you are. Some areas (like ribs, spine, or feet) are naturally more sensitive, while others (like outer arms or thighs) tend to be more manageable. Pain is temporary — but great tattoos are forever. Good prep — food, hydration, rest — goes a long way toward making your session smoother. 💀 Need advice on placement or tattoo prep?
