How do you get virtually pain free tattoo?

you can't. however, you can apply an anasthetic cream to the skin to numb it before hand. ask your tattooist about brands, when to put it on ect.

There is one drawback to using these creams and that they are full of chemicals that may cause a skin reactions, cause the natural healing process not to work properly, etc. Most tattoo artists are reluctant to use them for that reason. If you really want a tattoo with out any pain, get a temporary one. Real tattoos are not for the feint of heart!!!
