Everyone is different! 3 sessions, 10-14 days apart usually does the trick but some may need extra treatment depending on their skin health. Sessions are usually between 2 to 4 hours each…and don’t worry it does not hurt :)
If you have ever had a tattoo, on a pain level of 1 to 10, a body art tattoo would be a 10. SMP pain level would fall around a 2 to 3. A body art tattoo needle goes down much deeper into the layers of skin vs. the SMP impressions (with much smaller needles) which only goes down 2 to 3 layers of skin. Redness is normal during procedures and subsides within a couple hours. Some clients even fall asleep during treatments!
