Tattoos have been around for centuries, and their popularity shows no signs of waning. For some people, a tattoo is a way to express their identity, while for others it is simply a fashionable way to adorn their body. Whatever the reason, there is no doubt that tattoos are here to stay.

Traditional tattoos are typically more subdued than their modern counterparts, but that doesn't mean they can't be stylish. In fact, traditional tattoos often have a classic beauty that is timeless. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo, consider going traditional! You may just find that it's the perfect way to show off your unique personality.

But do color tattoos hurt more than black and grey?

Black and grey traditional tattoos are considered the gold standard when it comes to ink-based body art. But what about when you want to add a bit of color to your life? Do color tattoos hurt more than black and grey?

The short answer is: maybe. It all depends on your pain tolerance, and where on your body you're getting the tattoo. That said, there are some generalities that can be made about black and grey vs. color tattoos. Black and grey tattoos tend to require less passes with the needle, meaning that each individual puncture will be less painful.

However, because color tattoos require more passes with the needle, some people find them more painful overall. As for where on your body you should get a tattoo, that's entirely up to you - but know that areas with thinner skin, like your wrists or ankles, will be more sensitive.

So if you're thinking about adding some color to your black and grey traditional tattoo, or you're just curious about whether or not color tattoos hurt more, talk to your artist and see what they think. And always remember: pain is temporary, but ink is forever.

How long does it take for a traditional tattoo to heal?

So, you've finally taken the plunge and gotten yourself a traditional tattoo. Congratulations! You're in for a world of pain, pleasure, and expensive body art. But before you can show off your new ink to all your friends, you have to wait for it to heal first. Depending on the size and placement of your tattoo, this process can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 1 month.

In this blog post, we'll give you a step-by-step guide on how to care for your new tattoo so that it heals quickly and without any complications.

Day 1:

After getting your tattoo, the first thing you need to do is wash it with lukewarm water and gentle soap. Gently pat the tattoo dry with a clean towel. Repeat this process 2-3 times a day for the next week.

You'll also need to apply a thin layer of hypoallergenic moisturizer to keep the tattoo area from drying out. We recommend applying moisturizer after each time you wash your tattoo.

Days 2-3:

During these days, you'll start to see the formation of a scab. It's important that you resist the urge to pick at it, as this can lead to infection or scarring.

Continue washing and moisturizing your tattoo according to the schedule we outlined in Day 1.

Days 7-10:

By now, the scab should be gone and you'll start to see the colors of your tattoo coming through. The skin will also start to feel itchier as it regenerates itself. Again, resist the urge to scratch!

On Day 10, you can switch from using hypoallergenic moisturizer to a mild lotion or unscented body butter. Apply as needed to keep the skin hydrated.

Day 14:

Your tattoo should be fully healed by now! Congratulations! You made it through one of the most painful (but ultimately rewarding) experiences of your life. Show off that new ink with pride!

Wrap up!
