I find the healing process to be a lot more painful than the actual tattooing most of the time. I have mostly oranges and yellows and I think it always helps being able to see what's going on so I use mirrors a lot. I think it's because it gives you a sense of control over the process. I remember getting a tat next to this really ripped guy in the same area and he was almost screaming whereas I was holding my mirror and watching and way more composed. I gave him the mirror when I was done and he calmed down considerably but he was still hurting. He may have just been super sensitive or perhaps his artist wasn't so great. Some artists don't give you tattoos but give you scars.
