Other factors that can affect pain levels:


We've got you covered! At Inkantations, we want to make your experience as comfortable as possible.


  • Your own personal pain tolerance.

  • The style of tattooing (something very fine and delicate will be a completely different sensation to something very solid and large scale).

  • Your own wellbeing.

  • Where you are in your menstrual cycle.

  • If you have been poorly, your skin can feel more sensitive.

  • Hydration levels.

  • Strenuous physical activity before your tattoo.


Don't Worry!


The Inkantations team’s vibe is relaxed, and our studio is a safe space. You can expect calm music, relaxing scents, fidget toys, and yummy hot and cold drinks.


We recommend bringing soft pillows, blankets, and some headphones.


Our artists are highly experienced, professional, and have YOUR needs at the forefront of their minds.


For a chat about your tattoo experience, or if you’d like to learn more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch - we’d love to talk through your entire process and make it as pain-free as possible!
