I want to get a tattoo but I don't know what my pain tolerance is. How do I figure it out?

It's like getting a shot at the doctor, only instead of getting poked once, you get poked thousands of times for more than hour. Have fun, and remember they don't wash off.

It hurts alot but the best thing to do is relax your muscles when your getting it done,I'm 17 and I got my first tattoo when I was 14 and it hurt alot because it was my first tattoo but I got my second one about 7month ago and I was tensing my muscles like mad because it hurt but the guy told me to relax and to be honest as soon as I did it didn't feel as bad,just remember to relax

An individual's tolerance to pain is as unique as the person, and is shaped by some biological factors, as well as some psychological factors.

The only way to find out your pain tolerance is to purposely subject yourself to pain. For example you could get a tatoo.

A Female can take more pain than a Male can, but some people have higher than others.
Try having a friend pinch you in as tiny a spot as hard as they can, and have them try it all over the spot you want to get the tattoo...
Honestly, I have never gotten a tattoo, and never will, so you likely shouldn't take my advice
