How long does it take to tattoo each individual letter of a word?

I’ve always wanted a tattoo, and I’ve convinced my mum to let me get one if I still want it by the time I’m old enough. I was wondering how long each letter would take to do though. I wanna know how long I’ve gotta sit still for. Make sure I’m certain before getting it done. If I still want it this time next year, I’m gonna get ‘Raining in Baltimore’ on my lower back. It’s the name of a song and it’s a part of me, I just want it to be a physical part of me. I know it’ll take ages to have done, but I just wanted a more accurate sense of how long. Thank you!!

Nah I’d rather be a piercer. :p

Answer #5

Why not do both?

Answer #6

It probably won’t take more than 2 hours depending on the artist. My tattoo took about half an hour but it is also just a small one on my wrist

Answer #7

Okay, that’s not too bad, reckon I could handle just a couple of hours. Thank you! :)

Answer #8

You should also remember your lower back is one of the more painful places in your body to get tattooed, There is very little meat and lots of nerve endings
