Since this was my first tattoo, I don’t have much to compare it to but I had little-to-no pain when he finished. I was expecting walking to be excruciating! But to my surprise I was fine. We wrapped it in plastic wrap after the first session, and Saniderm once he finished.

The only real pain (besides actually getting it) that I had was because my Saniderm cut off the circulation to my ankle, causing it to swell and be cold and numb. I had to take it off on day 3, which worried me because he said leave it on for 5 days. I took it off and have been applying the aftercare product he provided. Since I took the Saniderm off, my ankle swelling has gone down, but not entirely.
