Tattoo Pain

[Star-ratS]

Getting ink done soon worried about pain got a few morphine (60mg) pellets what would be effective doseage for pain killer effect without being too messed up?

What is an opiate pellet? If you have no opiate tolerance 10 to 15 mg of instant release morphine, should be safe, which should be your primary concern. Morphine has a low oral bioavaiability

I don't have any tats but I've pierced my own nose and carved band names into my arm. I would just suggest manning up. I mean, isn't part of the whole point going through a little pain to get something (hopefully) you like?

Geez...cmon man, I'm a girl..mine took very long time and I didn't take anything!
(Ok, I'm mostly just teasing you)

Anyway, you didn't mention what your opiate/opioid tolerance is or what, if any, you usually take..that makes all the difference in the worl. Obviously you aren't familiar with taking morphine or you wouldn't be asking but anything else? If nothing, then I agree, I wouldn't take more than a quarter of one of those 60s, see how you feel in an hour then up it another quarter. You can always take more, but never less. And most places won't do a tattoo if you are very obviously effed up.

Why feel sorry? It was a punk rock thing, not like a self harm thing. Not really that much different than a tattoo.

And I still think you should just deal with the pain if you're gonna get it done. lol

Getting tattoos done isn't painful really. It is more like an annoying scratching sort of feeling. If it hurt a lot then people would probably only ever have one tattoo as they wouldn't want to go through pain again.
Don't worry about so much, the pain isn't bad at all.

NMDA antagonists. Much better choice for this type of pain than opiates in my oppinion.

Anyway it isn't painful. At least not to someone like me who experiences debilitating pain everyday anyway otherwise.

Um, what!?

You are far better off with local anesthetics. Try lidocaine.

^Good to hear! Yeah, as others said, part of getting a tattoo is facing the pain IMO.
