A Tattoo Machine for Sensitive Skin?

Tattooing might not be for everyone. There are people with skin that is more sensitive than the norm, for whom tattoos might cause more discomfort than is usual. If you are one of those people, however, and you are willing to risk the pain to get your skin permanently decorated, your best first step would be to consult a dermatologist. They are informed to some degree about the tattoo machine and tattoo products and can likely suggest brands that will work for your skin.

If you are set on getting a tattoo, you might consider using vegan inks. These are plant-based and all natural, which makes them less likely to cause adverse reactions on sensitive skin. While not yet FDA-approved, they are considered much safer than traditional inks that use industrial pigments and it is claimed by some that the healing time is shorter with these inks.

Just as important as the inks used are the aftercare products applied to a tattoo. For sensitive skins there are hypoallergenic lotions like AfterInked. This lotion is not only vegan-friendly but will not affect the colors of a tattoo. It is very effective in relieving the itchiness that typically occurs while a tattoo is healing.

While most manufacturers have not come up with a tattoo machine specifically for sensitive skin, the proper inks and after care products should ensure good tattoo results even on sensitive skin.
