Frequently Asked Questions
Does getting a tattoo hurt? What does it usually feel like?
Getting a tattoo may involve some discomfort, but the level of pain depends on the area of the body, your individual pain tolerance, and the size of the design. Some areas (ribs, wrists, neck) are more sensitive, while others (calves, upper arms) are usually less painful. We use modern techniques to minimize discomfort. If you have concerns, your artist can recommend less sensitive areas.
How should I take care of my tattoo after the session? Is aftercare difficult?
Proper aftercare is essential for good healing and long-lasting results. Keep the tattoo clean, moisturize it with a recommended cream, and avoid sun exposure, swimming pools, and saunas during the first weeks.
Is piercing safe? What does the procedure look like?
Piercing performed in a professional studio is safe. We use sterile tools and high-quality jewelry. Before the procedure, the piercer explains the process and aftercare instructions. Hygiene is crucial—avoid touching fresh piercings with unwashed hands.
What is the preferred form of contact?
The best way to contact us is via our booking form, by email at goldenblossom.tattoo@gmail.com, or by sending us a direct message on Instagram.
How long should I wait before exercising after getting a tattoo?
We recommend avoiding intense physical activity for at least one week after your session.
How long does it take for a tattoo to fully heal?
Healing time depends on the placement and size of the tattoo, but it usually takes up to one month for complete healing.
What is the best placement for a tattoo – least painful and long-lasting?
Upper arm, forearm, thigh, and calf are generally less painful and heal well. Areas close to hands and ankles may be more uncomfortable.
Can I get a tattoo while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We do not recommend getting a tattoo during pregnancy or while breastfeeding due to potential risks such as infection, allergic reactions, or increased body sensitivity.
What are the most popular tattoo styles and how do I choose one?
Popular styles include realism, fine line, dotwork, geometric, and watercolor. The best choice depends on the effect you want to achieve. We offer free consultations to help you decide.
Can I remove or cover an existing tattoo?
Yes. Tattoos can be removed with laser treatment or covered up (cover-up) with a new design. The number of sessions depends on the color and depth of the ink.
What are the most popular piercing placements?
Popular areas include ears (lobes and cartilage such as helix, conch, tragus), nose (nostril/septum), lips (e.g., medusa, vertical labret), and navel.
What tattoo trends are popular this season? What designs do women choose most often?
Trends include delicate, minimalist tattoos—fine lines, geometric shapes, and small symbols (flowers, stars, hearts). Many women also choose elegant quote or lettering tattoos.
Can I use my own jewelry for a piercing procedure?
For safety reasons, we only use sterile, hypoallergenic jewelry during the procedure. You may wear your own jewelry after the piercing has fully healed.
How should I prepare for my first tattoo?
Get a good night’s sleep, eat a proper meal before your appointment, and bring water or snacks. A week before your session, exfoliate and moisturize your skin regularly to improve the final result.
