Forum Discussion: Pain Prevention Before a Tattoo?

Sunday December 10, 2006
furbypaper writes: "I currently have 9 tattoos and am getting a leg piece on Friday. I am wondering if any Tylenol or anything else can be used when the tattoo becomes too much . I am told not to exercise the day of the tat, shave my leg, and I think there's something about the amount of caffeine in the bloodstream can contribute to one's sensitivity about pain?"

Is there a way to prevent the pain of a tattoo? Join the discussion and see what others have to say on this matter.
