It is absolutely necessary that a sterilized environment is presented for you and here at Unify we strive to be the best and maintain a pristine workplace for not only our client but for ourselves.

Anything in life worth doing involves some pain or discomfort, whether its physical or mental. This can include training, going to the gym, learning a language, even doing daily tasks so some. The pain of tattoo is mild, short lasting and ceases as soon as the tattoo is complete. There is only discomfort whilst the ink is actually being out into th skin. This is not a constant process, there and any starting and stopping points and it doesn't take long for your body to work out what's hopping and you grow used to it. Ofcourse, some spots hurt a touch more but at the end of the day, you get some really cool art on you to show off!
You may of heard that numbing cream can help if your abit sensitive to the potential pain and want to know if you can use it? This answer varies between all artists. Some prefer not to use it and some find it fine, it’s always best to ask this question to individuals as there is no definite answer.
Shared knowledge though is the fact there are some questionable ‘ numbing creams’ out there.
Occasionally you’ll find an artist that worries about the effect of it and the effect it has on the skin while being tattooed. We at Unify have differing opinions as individuals ourselves so it is best to ask your artist before the session.
