Reader Mail: Does a Womans Menstrual Cycle Affect Tattoo Pain?
Reader Mail: Does a Woman’s Menstrual Cycle Affect Tattoo Pain? Sunday May 16, 2010 Question: Does it make a difference if you are being tattooed during your menstrual cycle? Say feel more pain or effects the tattoo itself? Answer: I’ve found that my cycle has a pronounced effect on how much pain I feel while getting a tattoo. The week before seems to be the worst, and the week of is kinda bad, too. You may not have the same experience since we’re all different, but as a precaution I don’t recommend women to get a tattoo when they’re due to start their period. Best to wait until after it’s over, if possible! Comments (2)See All PostsShare
