• What is tattoo pain compared to?

Some people compare it to a cat scratch, but i believe it depends on the location of the tattoo. Again, pain is a very individual thing, but I’d say it feels more like a burning sensation, very mild. Some areas you’ll mostly just feel a vibration and pressure.

• How do I find a good tattoo artist?

Research and always choose quality over money. Remember, it’s on you forever. Don’t choose an artist that doesn’t do exactly the style you’re looking for. For the most part, we all have basic knowledge on most styles, but if you want to guarantee a good tattoo — don’t go to someone who’s specializes in something else other than what you’d like to do. Example: going to a traditional/old school artist to do fine line or vice versa.
