You actually don't need to "smash" your finger on the string. You must do it the proper way. Try loosening up you right had a little, and definitely wait for a hardening of the tip of the finger in order to avoid any serious injuries.

I just began tapping a few days ago after checking Kris 1on1 lessons here at GMC, and it's definitely not about "smashing" the strings, instead you should just hit the string and do something like a "pinch" when releasing it.
Just check Kris 1on1 videos, tapping lesson nº1, watch how he moves the finger before releasing the string each time he taps it, I bet that will help -------------------- Guitars:

It really does not matter if you come to the string hard from far above the fretboard , more important is to keep the pressure when you press the string and that way let the note come out..you don't need to hit it very hard but that after fretting pressure keeping I find important (not hard one though but constant so it can hold the tone)...Ofcourse you get bad blister when you try this technique for the first time so you should take it slowly until your calluses build up..
