Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Vibration: Some are sensitive to vibration (see it occupationally with sanders / jackhammers / etc.), and particularly if the tattoo worked on is in an area with shallow soft tissue between skin surface and bone, can transmit sensation and cause temporary nerve irritation.
