I want to get a tattoo but I'm afraid of the pain. What are the different types of pain and how do they compare?

The different types of pain associated with tattoos include: acute, chronic, and post-operative pain. Acute pain is typically felt immediately after the needle punctures your skin. Chronic pain can be experienced for weeks or months following the procedure and may require medical treatment. Post-operative pain is often felt during the healing process and can last up to three months. In general, it’s recommended that you consult with a healthcare professional before getting any type of tattoo in order to determine which type of pain will best suit your needs.
