ya,30x20cm is a fairly small tattoo,no big deal,

anyway,
1)pre-hydrate the night before,
2)get a good night’s sleep the night before
3)eat a good healthy meal right before that tattoo session
4)arrive 100% sober
5)don’t overthink it.
6)bring some sugary candy to munch on during the tattoo(I like a mix of skittles & M&M’s)and bring a couple bottles of cold water.
7)don’t take any pain relievers ,just relax & deal with it,embrace the pain,enjoy the experience ,put yourself in the right mental place.

that’s how to deal with the pain
