The discomfort of getting tattooed is nothing compared to the pain of getting an infection from it.

]]> 76073 1 37 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199158/37.jpg Schedule your tattoo for the morning. This is when your pain tolerance is highest, thanks to peak levels of adrenaline, a hormone that helps us endure pain.

]]> 76074 2 45 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199158/45.jpg Wear loose clothes, especially if they are going to be covering your new tattoo.

]]> 76075 3 50 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199158/50.jpg Eat something before you go to reduce the chances of passing out from a combination of nerves and hunger.

]]> 76076 4 57 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199158/57.jpg Take a non-aspirin pain reliever like ibuprofen about 20 minutes before the procedure.

]]> 76077 5 63 Tip Don’t drink alcohol or take aspirin in the 24 hours beforehand; it will thin your blood, increasing bleeding.

]]> 76078 6 69 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199158/69.jpg Choose an area of your body that has more flesh and less bone and nerve endings, like biceps, calves, and thighs, rather than bony areas or nerve centers like the rib cage, top of foot, and abdomen.

]]> 76079 7 82 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199158/82.jpg Know what to expect. The pain is often described as a cat scratching your sunburned skin. Breathe deeply, focus on your breath, and try not to move. The post-tattoo pain will feel the same, minus the cat.

]]> 76080 8 94 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199158/94.jpg During the procedure, if the pain is intense, your tattoo artist can apply a topical anesthetic. Think carefully before you ask for one; side effects include a longer healing time and a loss of color in the finished product.

]]> 76081 9 107 Warning Applying excess amounts of a high-concentration topical anesthetic and covering up the tattoo afterward can result in seizures.

]]> 76082 10 114 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/199158/114.jpg Follow the tattoo artist’s instructions regarding aftercare. The tattoo should heal in about three weeks, during which time you shouldn’t swim or expose it to the sun. After that, go ahead and flaunt it!

]]> 76083 11 126 Fact Democrats are slightly more likely to have tattoos than Republicans and independents.
