Vagina Tattoo: What You Need to Know Before Getting Inked

Catch up with Vagina Tattoo: What You Need to Know Before Getting Inked. Our latest report covers the primary developments in full detail.

Let’s be honest. Getting a vagina tattoo hurts. A lot. The skin in this area is among the thinnest and most nerve-dense on the entire body. Most people describe the sensation as a sharp, burning scratch that feels far more intense than a rib or spine tattoo.

Pain levels depend on the exact location. The mons pubis, which has a bit more fatty tissue, is generally more tolerable. The labia, however, is a different story. “It felt like a hot knife slicing through butter,” one Reddit user wrote in a popular thread. “I cried. I’m not ashamed to admit it.”

Most sessions are short—often under 30 minutes—simply because the artist and client can’t sustain the pain for longer. Some artists refuse to work on the area without a topical numbing cream, while others consider it standard practice to apply one beforehand.
