FAQ About The Role of Traditional Tattoos in Cultural Identity
Are traditional tattoos more painful than modern tattoos?
The pain experienced from traditional tattoos can differ from modern tattoos due to the techniques used. Traditional methods such as hand-poking or tapping may cause different pain sensations compared to machine tattooing. However, pain tolerance varies greatly among individuals, and the experience also depends on the tattoo's location and complexity. For many, the cultural and personal significance of traditional tattoos often outweighs the discomfort.
