WHAT AGE CAN YOU GET A TATTOO?

You must be at least 18 years old to get tattooed at our studio. It's important to bring a valid form of ID with you to your appointment. Without it, we cannot proceed with the tattoo, as we strictly adhere to this age policy for legal and ethical reasons.

WHAT IS THE MOST PAINFUL PLACE TO GET A TATTOO?

Pain tolerance varies from person to person, so experiences differ. Generally, tattoos on bonier areas like the ribs, spine, ankles, and elbows tend to be more painful. Our artists can offer advice on managing discomfort and selecting the best placement for your comfort level.

HOW LONG DOES A TATTOO TAKE TO HEAL?

The healing time for a tattoo can vary depending on its size, complexity, and location on your body, as well as how well you follow aftercare instructions. Generally, the initial healing process where the skin closes up and stops weeping takes about 2 to 3 weeks. However, it's important to remember that the skin beneath the surface can take up to 6 weeks to fully heal.

During this time, it's crucial to follow the aftercare advice provided by your artist, including keeping the tattoo clean and moisturised. Avoid picking or scratching at the tattoo, and stay out of direct sunlight and swimming pools to ensure optimal healing. Remember, a well-healed tattoo not only looks better but also preserves the integrity of the design for years to come.

HOW LONG AFTER A TATTOO CAN YOU SWIM?

Swimming too soon can not only increase the risk of infection but can also interfere with the ink settling into your skin, potentially affecting the appearance of your tattoo. Chlorinated water, in particular, can be harsh on a fresh tattoo. Even after the initial healing phase, it's a good idea to protect your tattoo with a waterproof bandage and to moisturiSe it well after swimming to maintain its vibrancy.

Remember, every tattoo and skin type is different, so if you have any specific concerns or if your tattoo is particularly large or detailed, it's best to consult with your tattoo artist for personalised advice.

WHERE IS THE LEAST PAINFUL PLACE TO GET A TATTOO?

The level of pain experienced during a tattoo can vary greatly from person to person, but generally, the least painful places to get a tattoo are areas with more flesh and fewer nerve endings. Common spots that are considered less painful include the upper arm, forearm, thigh, and calf. These areas have more muscle and fat, providing a cushion over the bones and nerves.

It's important to remember that pain tolerance varies, and what might be a less painful spot for one person could be more sensitive for another. If you're concerned about pain, it's always a good idea to discuss this with your tattoo artist. They can provide insights based on their experience and help you choose a location that's right for you.

HOW DO YOU CLEAN A NEW TATTOO?

Gently clean the tattoo using lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap, applying it with your hands instead of a cloth or sponge to avoid irritation. Carefully rinse off all soap and residue, as any left behind can irritate the skin. After rinsing, pat the tattoo dry with a clean, soft paper towel; avoid rubbing to protect the skin and tattoo. Finally, apply a thin layer of a recommended aftercare product to keep the tattoo moisturised. This cleaning process should be repeated 2-3 times daily, especially during the first few days. Remember, avoid soaking the tattoo and minimise its exposure to sunlight during the healing phase.

WHERE CAN I PARK WHEN I ARRIVE AT CRUEL INTENTION TATTOO STUDIO?

When you come to visit us at Cruel Intention Tattoos, you'll find that parking is quite decent in the area. We recommend parking on Brigadier Hill, which is just across the road from our studio. This location offers a good amount of space and is just a short walk away, making it easy for you to get to your appointment without any hassle.
