Collection: Waist Tattoos

Yes, waist tattoos can hurt. Pain depends on spot: ribs, hip bones, and near the spine are sharp; side waist and lower abdomen are moderate; fleshy love-handle areas feel easier. Lining feels sharper than shading or color packing. Pain also varies by your body fat, skin sensitivity, session length, and the artist’s touch. To reduce pain: sleep, eat, hydrate, avoid alcohol, take breaks; consider numbing cream after consulting your artist.
