In this post, we will go over everything you need to know about negative space tattoos. Including what they are, some examples of the best ones and different variations that are possible. We will also look at how they can be used as effective fillers within a larger tattoo sleeve for example. They are extremely versatile.

\r\n

What is a Negative Space Tattoo

\r\n

A negative space tattoo is a tattoo that uses the natural skin tone of the customer to create the design. The subject of the tattoo is usually left as blank, untouched skin. Ink is used as a border or secondary element instead of the primary one in a regular tattoo. Negative space tattoos use skin without any ink on them as the main emphasis of the design. Let's look at some examples.

\r\n

These examples should give you a better idea of what a negative space tattoo is. Some of us are better visual learners!

\r\n

$\"\"$

\r\n

Custom Negative Space Tattoo Designs

\r\n

The best tattoos are custom ones. Tattoos that have a unique factor that is specific to you and your life. The same can be said for negative space tattoos. Why not consider hiring a professional tattoo designer to create a negative space tattoo design for you, before you step foot into a tatto studio and commit to the tattoo. We have hundreds of available artists right here on this website to choose from. Simply contact them with your idea and wait for the magic to happen.

\r\n

Frequent questions about negative space tattoos

\r\n

Are negative space tattoos more expensive?

\r\n

Yes, they are typically a little more expensive than normal tattoos due to the vast amounts of ink required for blackwork style ones.

\r\n

Can I get a negative space tattoo within my sleeve?

\r\n

Absolutely. You can ask your tattoo designer to incorporate some negative space elements within the entire sleeve. This is actually advised in a lot of situations because you can achieve more balance within the tattoo which is very important.

\r\n

Do negative space tattoos hurt more?

\r\n

If you are planning on getting a blackwork style one then you can expect it to hurt more than a regular tattoo. This is because of the amount of ink that is required to get the blacked out effect. Sometimes a special kind of ink is required as well. The tattooist may go over the same area a couple of times as well. It goes without saying that this will cause more pain.

\r\n

You're in the right place. Read our guide to discover more.","created_at":"2022-06-12T10:54:21.000Z","updated_at":"2022-06-12T10:56:02.000Z"},{"id":35,"content":"

The pain and soreness will most likely continue for 3-7 days after the tattoo is finished. It is usually closer to the 3 day mark as when a week passes, the tattoo is normally in an itchy phase. As each day passes, the pain from the fresh tattoo should get better a little bit each day. If this is not the case for you, then I would consider double checking if your tattoo is infected or not. Other factors can determine how fast the pain passes so let's get into a few of them.

\r\n

Size of the tattoo

\r\n

$\"\"$

\r\n

Bigger tattoos will have more ink in them. They will also cover more skin area and this can effect how long the tattoo is sore for afterwards because there is more skin to heal. Small tattoos are generally only sore for 1-2 days after and sometimes not at all. So if you are planning on getting a small and minimal design then you should have no worries. Full sleeve tattoos or large back tattoos will most likely hurt for quite a while.

\r\n

Intensity of the tattoo

\r\n

$\"\"$

\r\n

What does this mean? Well, some tattoos use a lot of deep colours and blackwork for example. It will take longer for the tattoo to heal where the ink is thick and dark. These kind of tattoos will probably be sore for a bit longer than average.

\r\n

Location of the tattoo

\r\n

$\"\"$

\r\n

What body part is the tattoo on? This can drastically effect how long your tattoo should be sore for. This is because some body parts we can protect and let heal a lot easier than others. For example the hand is used in so many functions throughout the day. This means the skin is always moving and cannot fully rest. Body parts that have creases and are always bending like the knee an elbow can also be more painful afterwards because they are moving a lot. If possible, try to reduce movement in these areas whilst your tattoo heals. This is not always an option but it's something to keep in mind.

\r\n

How Long Does a Tattoo Hurt For Afterwards?

\r\n

So as mentioned previously, typically the range is 3-7 days. It is normal to experience some pain and discomfort from your tattoo afterwards. The feeling can be described as a constant burning sensation. The skin feels like it would be hot to touch. Again, don't worry if this is the case because it's totally normal.

\r\n

Should My Tattoo Hurt After 5 Days?

\r\n

If your tattoo still hurts afer 5 days then don't panic. It's normal. In fact, experiencing any pain up to the 7 day mark is regarded as normal. After that, we would reccomend contacting your artist or a medical expert to make sure your tattoo is not infected.

\r\n

How Long Should My Tattoo be Warm?

\r\n

$\"\"$

\r\n

The area where your fresh tattoo is will normally feel a little warm. This is because of the inflammation and recovery process that is happening. Expect to feel this warm sensation for anywhere up to 3-7 days after your tattoo. If you feel a sudden change in temperature and the skin becomes hotter than usual, then this may be an indicator of infection.

\r\n

How to speed up the process?

\r\n

A healthy recovery process is important in order for your tattoo to stop hurting. What can do you to ensure this process is fast but without cutting corners? Let's go over some points.

\r\n

1. Do not itch or pick your tattoo.

\r\n

2. Keep your fresh tattoo moisturised.

\r\n

3. Stay out of the direct sunlight for 7 days.

\r\n

4. Don't take painkillers.

\r\n

5. Avoid scented products.

\r\n

6. Gently clean your tattoo with water.

\r\n

7. Apply ointment.

\r\n

Following these instructions will ensure your tattoo will heal as fast as possible and therefore reduce how long you experience pain after your tattoo is finished. Try not to touch your tattoo unless you are cleaning it as leaving it alone is generally best practice.

It can be a difficult task to get a tattoo artist to show you how your custom tattoo idea looks before the day of the appointment. You might be a little anxious in the lead up to the big day as you still do not know exactly how the design will look. On top of this, what if you don't like the design? What follows is an awkward interaction with your artist as you tell them what you want changed. This can take extra time which eats into your appointment. Or worse, you might just nod along and tell them you think it's great. A lot of introverts out there will probably be familiar with this feeling. Thankfully, there is a solution to this!

How to get a custom tattoo online?

\r\n

1. Search for the best artist

\r\n

Search our library of tattoo designers until you find the perfect artist for you. You can filter by style, price, language and rating. The great thing about getting a custom tattoo design online is that the location of the artist is not very important. You can hire the best talent from half way across the world instead of being limited to local artists.

\r\n

2. Contact the artist

\r\n

Send the artist a message or place an order directly on their profile. You will be prompted to submit your tattoo idea and include the placement you have in mind and any reference photos that may help the designer.

\r\n

3. Wait a short time

\r\n

After making the payment for the order, you will simply wait until the artist has completed the design. The estimated delivery time will be shown on the artists page before you order so if you are in a rush it might be wise to consider artists with fast delivery times.

\r\n

4. Ask for revisions

\r\n

At this stage, the artist will most likely ask if you are happy with the design or if you would like any changes. Feel free to ask for revisions until you are satisfied with the custom tattoo design. There may be a limit for the total number of revisions. Check the artists profile for this information.

\r\n

5. Enjoy your design

\r\n

Now you have the perfect custom tattoo design. You can envision how this will look on your body way better since it isn't just in your imagination any more. You can show this artwork to your tattooist in real life if you are ready to get it inked. Or you can hire other artists and compare which one you prefer before booking an appointment somewhere.

Legal age to get a tattoo in Wyoming

\r\n

There is no legal age requirement to get a tattoo in Wyoming.

\r\n

Some frequently asked questions in relation to the topic:

\r\n

Can I get a hand or neck tattoo as a minor?

\r\n

Typically tattoo artists will not tattoo the hand or neck area on people underage because they understand that we regret a lot of the decisions we make as children and young teenagers. They are likely to refuse tattooing this area for that reason.

\r\n

Are body piercing laws the same as tattoo laws for minors?

\r\n

No. Laws for body piercings are different.

\r\n

Can a tattoo artist go to prison for tattooing a minor?

\r\n

The short answer is yes. However, the laws vary a lot depending on the state. Since tattooing is technically a medical procedure the law can be strict when applying punishments. It is more likely the tattooist will receive a fine but do you really want to take the risk? Most tattoo artists are not desperate enough for work that they will risk their career.

\r\n

Summary:

\r\n

You should now know how old you have to be to get a tattoo in the state you live in but it's a good idea to check with your desired tattoo artist before paying a deposit to make sure. You will likely have to sign a contract before going ahead with the tattoo.

\r\n

If you are underage and are thinking about getting a tattoo anyway, I would reccomend waiting because most good and reputable tattoo artists will not tattoo a minor and you could end up with some ink that you may regret. Patience is key. If you are finding it really hard to resist the urge then why not get a tattoo design created first? This may scratch the itch and you will also end up with a really cool tattoo design. We have plenty of artists available to hire that are ready to draw your custom tattoo idea. No matter the style, you should be able to find a professional tattoo designer. Good luck!
