A difficult question that only those of you who have experienced giving yourself a tattoo on your body will have the answer!
In the past, tattooing was a form of body art reserved only for a small part of the population, but now it is widely available.
However, many people still intend to create a commemorative tattoo for themselves but are hesitant for fear that getting a tattoo will cause pain, danger and affect their work.
But today we will delve into a question that many people do not understand, which is: Do tattoos smell?
First of all, let’s find out: What is a tattoo?
In essence, a tattoo is a form of temporary or permanent marking on the body by introducing pigments into the skin through penetrating the top layer of skin.
Today, tattooing is done using an electric tattoo machine with a needle that quickly pierces the skin and moves up and down like a sewing machine.

After the tattoo is done, the only smell your tattoo will have is the smell like antibiotic ointment , applied to the skin by the tattooist when the work is done.
You can also smell a bit of blood , as most people bleed a little (you’re getting a needle in your skin, after all!).
However, the tattoo should not have any unusual smell. During the healing process, if your tattoo shows signs of infection – redness, pus and odor – seek medical attention or ask your tattooist to avoid a bad situation.
However, there is a special type of tattoo that smells, but is still safe. It is the Indian style of Henna tattoo.
Henna is a natural mixture used to paint the body in intricate patterns. Therefore, its impact is only on the surface of the skin, not deep into the skin layers like normal tattoos.
Natural henna should have a rough and slightly pungent smell.
Henna tattoos usually stay on the skin for 1-3 weeks. Although henna is initially black when painted on the skin, it later dries and becomes orange or brown. Natural henna should have a rough and slightly pungent smell.
But there are times when henna colors are made up of chemicals so they have a chemical smell and can sometimes cause serious skin irritations like blisters, burns and scarring.
Here’s some more information: after getting a tattoo, about half of people who get a tattoo regret their decision. The tattoo removal process is also quite complicated and expensive, and very difficult to completely remove. This also depends a lot on the size, location, healing ability of each person, tattoo method and tattoo time.
So, before making the decision to give yourself a tattoo, consider carefully!
