I went to the clinic, and honestly, I felt like my muscles were being stretched out rather than actually being cut
It was brief, almost unnoticeable at first, but then the sensation came rushing back pretty quickly..
If you're planning on having this done, I really think you should make sure you go through someone who actually holds a professional license for it. It’s probably best to be careful there.
I suppose I should double-check everything just to be certain.
When I finally went to get my tattoo, I was being incredibly particular about everything. I mean, I was obsessively checking the needles and making absolutely sure they were pulling them out of fresh, sterile packaging right in front of me...
There is a lower risk of complications... I suppose.
But unfortunately, things like inflammation, infection, or even rejection can always happen—it’s just one of those ways the body reacts when it senses a foreign object. It’s a reality of the procedure that even a top-tier, licensed salon in a major city like Chicago or New York can't completely prevent. They can certainly do their best to minimize the risk of any unnecessary complications, but at the end of the day, there are some biological factors that are simply out of anyone's hands.
I really don't want to go there by bringing up all those nasty diseases, but honestly, if you're thinking about going to someone who doesn't maintain a sterile studio or use fresh, single-use needles... well, I guess it just isn't worth the risk.
I have to say, I find it a bit much that at this tattoo parlor I go to, they actually require you to take your shoes off just to step inside. It feels like such an unnecessary hassle, I guess.
Off-topic, but electricdriver16, you actually have an advantage here, I didn't realize that! Huge congratulations to youuuuuuuu!
