Even ancient people were getting tattoos. They believed that art on their body serves as an amulet, that it influences their faith and protects them from illnesses. This kind of body art is still popular. However, many different myths and misconceptions have developed over the centuries-long history of tattoo evolution. Tattoo artist from Vean tattoo, will help you to find the truth.

Myth 1: Tattoos hurt a lot.

— Tattoos are not too painful, mostly just unpleasant. Of course, everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but getting a tattoo is not as scary, as a client can imagine. By the way, there are multiple lifehacks that will help you to feel less pain. Especially if you take tattooing responsibly and come to the session well-prepared. First thing you should do is have a good sleep. Also, before the session you must eat something, and you shouldn’t drink alcohol, coffee and energy drinks. In case a client is very afraid of pain, I would recommend placing a tattoo on a less sensitive body part.

Myth 2: Tattoo cover-ups are dangerous to health.

— There is no danger in covering up a tattoo which, for example, you don’t like anymore, or which was done badly. I would even say that it is esthetically necessary, so a piece of body art is at least pleasing to the eye. By the way, different pigments can be used for the cover-up.

Myth 3: Tattoos are a sign of an ex-convict.

— This phrase can be usually heard from an elderly generation. And indeed, back in the past tattoos were only attributes of prisoners and sailors, or a sign of ethnic tribes. Nowadays, body art is truly an art. For example, I’m very happy that young generation has a positive attitude towards tattoos. However, I strongly recommend that you choose your sketch carefully and find out the meaning of this or that symbol, picture, and so on.
