Is tattooing painful?
 This is the first question in this list of FAQs, because it is usually the first question that people ask the artists at Masterpiece Tattoo. The simple answer is yes. Having needles pierce your skin does hurt. That said, the next logical questions are often, “How much does it hurt and can I handle it?” It is not nearly as bad as what you might imagine. The pain comes from the cluster of needles on the tattooing machine piercing your skin very rapidly. This sensation, however, does not feel like the poking pain of an injection. It is more of a constant vibration. You will be amazed at how quickly your body releases endorphins, (pain killers), that dull the pain significantly.
