DOES A TATTOO HURT? Is a tattoo painful. Girls & Painful Tattoos VLOG

What happens here

Before starting the tattooing process, the client's foot must be properly prepared. This involves cleaning the skin thoroughly with an antiseptic solution, often shaving any hair in the area, and then carefully applying a stencil of the desired design (in this case, a word, likely 'Faith' and a heartbeat symbol with a heart) onto the skin. The client is positioned comfortably to ensure stable access to the foot throughout the session. The workstation is also set up with all necessary equipment, including a connected tattoo machine, ink caps filled with black ink, cleaning solution, and sterile wipes. The artist ensures they are wearing protective gloves.

Goal: Prepare the client's foot and tattoo station for the procedure
