I have an orthopaedic surgery on my knee, basically i have a medal knee to replace the knee I had, my guestions is is it safe for me to get a tatoo without taking any medication?
You haven’t stated where you thought you’d be inked - what part of your anatomy. After surgery, your body always has sensitive spots or dead spots because the surgery severes nerves. Since the inking is only in the upper layers of the flesh, this shouldn’t cause any problem for you. Only you can decide what your pain threshold is and if you should take something for it. Many people sleep through tatoos, others are nervous and feel faint and sick, it’s an individual “thang”.
I’m interested in getting a tatoo on the right side of my right breast but I’m worried about the consequences this may lead to. Is there an increased chance of getting breast cancer or something similar to that when I get older?
Nope, you can’t get breast cancer from a tatoo. There are studies that have stated that you might “get” breast cancer from your diet, sedentary life style, etc. But the “ink” used in tatoos never moves into the glands (only the upper layers of flesh). One word of caution, you may end up with the “mid-life sags” and in that event you may not like the way your tatoo looks in the breast area.
I heard that there are tatoos you can get that only last about 4 months. Is this true, and if so, what are they called?
There are temporary tatoos that are painted on by artists. They last about 4 weeks versus 4 months.
My girlfriend got 2 tatoos on her ankle, but for some reason this time she couldn’t stand the pain and had to stop only a few minutes into the outlining. Is there a difference in who does your tatoo (i.e. is it possible for some artists to be more “gentle” than others)?
The pain could be caused by many factors. Yes, some artists are smoother than others and it’s less painful. It could also be the needles, if they are dull at all or aren’t made “right” the “inking” process would be more painful. It could also be the area, the nerves in some parts of the body are much more sensitive.
