What Happens If I Cough, Sneeze, or Move Suddenly During My Tattoo?

Answered by Sude ErdemTattoo artist in Los Angeles

Usually, it is not a big problem. Tattooing is much more controlled than drawing a long line on paper. We work in very small, controlled sections, so one sudden movement does not normally ruin the tattoo.

We also deal with coughing, sneezing, and sudden movements regularly, so we are constantly watching your body and can react quickly when it happens.

If you feel it coming and have time to warn me, that is helpful. But if it happens suddenly, there is usually no reason to worry.
