Lovelyish

Just one on the shoulder, it wasn’t that bad. I’m considering a hip one.

I was thinking of getting a tattoo on my wrist, can anyone give a pain rating on that?

I have a tattoo that’s on the spine and it wasn’t bad. I plan on getting one on my wrist, and I heard that those are painful as heck!

The most painful place to get a tattoo: um…your body, period?

@sarahzthoughts@xanga - for me it was about a 6, but maybe that’s because i only weigh about 110 lbs. *shrug*

I want one behind each ear, on the back of my neck, an anklet and one on my calf running down my ankle onto my foot.

I have one behind my ear, it didn’t hurt, felt more like I was at the dentist. I have one on my shoulder which was my first it hurt but not the most. I have one on my wrist which was fine, and I have one on the inside of my finger which hurt the most. Ribcage is next.

I want one behind my ear, along my ribcage, and on my feet, and along my spine. Right now, I just have one on my shoulder and inner bicep tattoo.

The one on my ankle hurt like hell, but the one on my hip/bikini area wasn’t nearly as bad even though it’s much larger.

my lower back tattoo—–i have the word “liberated” in cursive script there——was the most painful for me. it actually bled outward! but it turned out really nice!

@proudsmartypants@xanga - Lol

OP:

No, part ever.

I have a tattoo of a hamsa on my right wrist. It hurt since there are a lot of nerve endings there, but it looks amazing! It was kind of creepy (and funny) when I got it done because my fingers kept twitching inadvertently when my tattoo artist hit certain spots. I also have a bird on my shoulder but it didn’t hurt as much. I love my tattoos  :D

@sarahzthoughts@xanga -  I didnt find the wrist tattoo painful, but I have high tolerance.

@proudsmartypants@xanga - I thought getting my shoulder tat would hurt, but really, I’ve had body waxes that hurt more. I guess it just depends on your pain threshold. 

the only place i would get one is my bottom inside lip. that seems so cool to me. but it would be unattractive to show people haha

@shinoseishi@xanga - Huh. I’m actually considering getting a small on under my shoulderblade, but I don’t have any ideas. xP I suppose I’ll have to raise that pain threshold then.

I have a tattoo on my wrist, and I’m not going to lie it was pretty painful.  However, it’s small so it only took about ten minutes before I was finished.

this list is very inaccurate. I have tattoos  behind both ears and they hardly hurt, but the tats i got on both wrists hurt like a bitch. the one on the back of my neck that touches my spine was my first and it hardly hurt as well. 

It just depends on how well you can take pain.

I don’t have any tattoos, but my dad has plenty and told me about the ribcage one – you feel it in your heart. Yikes.

I’ve always wanted one on my wrist, though. I’d imagine it’d be painful, since mine are small/thin..

my tattoo on my foot hurt the worst . the ones on my ribs hurt pretty damn bad . the one on my hip wasn’t too bad.

I’ve always wanted one along my spine and/or on my wrist…and of course, both places made this list, lol. Oh well, I’ll just suck it up.

I have a ribcage one. Hurt like a frickin bitch. It made me nauseous at one point. 

The one about the lip is def false. I have the inside of my bottom lip tattooed and it was actually the least painful tattoo that I’ve gotten. Actually there was no pain it basically feels as though someone is writing with a pen on your skin.

idunno but those feet are naaaasty. at that point you should probably just consider removing the little nail polish that is left and consider cleaning your toenails. yuck.

I have one behind my ear and it extends down my neck some and it didn’t hurt at all. The buzzin behind my ear was the most bothersome.
I also have one on my lower back really close to my hip and when he hit my hip bone that’s the only time it hurt.

I have a large tattoo on my shoulder/back and part of it runs over the spine which was definitely the worst part of the 2 hr session! along with the muscle on my upper back. I have one on  the side of my foot, didn’t hurt at all but that’s different than the top of the foot

i feel like all of these are the most common places to get tattooed. so do tell where it doesn’t hurt the most?

Mine is on my back. It didn’t bother me at all, until it got closer to my spine. Then I really felt it, but it still wasn’t anything to complain about.

If you get a tattoo…you don’t really have any more to complain in first place. You knew what you were getting into. DUH. lol

Oof!

I have one on my hip. I’m about to get another one that connects to the first tattoo, so left hip going up to the left back shoulder. No pain no gain!

I have tattoos on my hip and my ribcage.  The ribcage by far was the most painful spot.  I’ve given birth three times and I’d rank that tattoo as just as painful as labor.  The hip tattoos hurt in some places but not in others.  In fact, at one point the needles was hitting some nerve funny and I was laughing at how it made my whole ass vibrate weird.  Basically, the closer to any bone the more it’s gonna hurt.  Not sure about less fleshy parts like lips and stuff.  My pic is of my ribcage tattoo… only took about 10 minutes but I really wanted to run away with like just a tattooed A.  lol

I’ve got one centered on the back of my neck. It only really hurt up towards the hair line, otherwise it was just like the others i’ve got.
The two on either shoulder blade were cake and the one on my forearm was cake as well.
I love tattoos. just suck at gather good ideas.

I have on on  the back of my neck. On the pain scale, I’d rate it about a 4. Not bad at all near the middle, if they get towards the outside it does start to hurt a little bit more though.

My cousin who did my tattoo told me that basically any part of the body that has a bone closer to the skin is gonna hurt like a biotch [sucks for really boney people like me haha!]. Mine isn’t on my rib cage, but it’s on my side…i s’pose more tummy related. it still hurt. more sensitive on one side than the other.
i don’t see the point in the lip ones. i heard the ink doesn’t last that long.

I have one on the back of my keck… worst part was when he hit the spine. but its pretty small so its whatevs. i really want one on my ribcage, and on at least one wrist. i knew those would hurt though.

*neck

ASKLDHVGOIHAOEGI squirm.

i have a tattoo across the top of my foot and another along the arch, and one down my rib cage. they didn’t hurt. then again, none of mine have hurt… maybe i’m just weird?

Meh, my wrist tattoo hardly hurt. The only part that bothered me was when the tattoo artist went over scar tissue and that just felt like an extreme case of pins and needles.

I have five tattoos, three of which made this list.

Oddly enough, they didn’t hurt that badly.

I giggled with the one behind my ear (it tickled…my artist thought I was nuts).
The one on my hip/bikini area was altogether hardly noteworthy.
The one on my spine/neck was equal to the one on my hip. Not particularly painful.

The most painful one for me was the tattoo on my wrist, and at that, it was more psychological than anything. I don’t like anything that cuts the skin near my wrists, so the act of getting a tattoo there prompted a minor panic. But even then, the pain wasn’t too dreadful.

It all depends on the person.

Ehhh. Pain is hard to gauge. Plus, as far as all the places I’ve been tattooed, I say the boob hurts the most. That curve from the beginning of your shoulder, down around your armpit, over to the breast….holy SHIT, by far the worst tattoo I’ve ever had. The rest? Bikini area wasn’t great – shading was nothing, color sucked a little. Ankle, piece of cake. Spine, piece of cake – except the whole tattoo tickled like crazy, and my feet went numb because my legs were dangling. My calf hurt, only because my friend was an apprentice and while skilled, was very heavy handed, so she scarred the hell out of my leg – but it works, because although I limped for a week or two, now I don’t grow hair on the back of my left leg, LOL.

But yeah, you can’t really say something is “the most painful” because if you talk to fifty people with neck tattoos, some will say it was the worst thing ever and others will say it was barely noticeable. Pain is relative!

The ankle isn’t THAT bad. I had people telling me “don’t get it there! it hurts like hell!” I got it done and it didn’t hurt one bit. The noise is super annoying though. It stung the first couple of seconds he started but it wasn’t bad. I want to get one on my foot though like the inside of the foot before you get to the bottom. It’s hard to explain.

The idea of getting tattooed does nothing for me, but to each their own. Not a big fan of needles, let alone one stabbing me a bazillion times to create a permanent image, which will warp and stretch as my connective tissues become weaker with age.

for me the back of my left shoulder didnt hurt at all. the back of my left calf started to hurt after a while and it was pretty bad, but i would have to say that the dip in your elbow, the outside of your elbow and the back of your arm (tricep area) hurts the absolute worst.

got inner wrist done, didn’t hurt.

I just got my first one about a week and a half ago, on my left shoulder blade. It wasn’t that bad, and I found that when I found the pain was starting to get intolerable, was usually when the artist lifted the needle to reposition, get more ink, or start a new line. Mind you, I just have 4 toonie-sized stars, and some little fairy dust type dots in between, so none of the lines were that long, but I found it really was not AT ALL as bad as I expected it to be.

I don’t, but I’d like one on my wrist. 

My wife got one behind her ear and said it hurt less than any of the others she’s gotten and – don’t tell her I said this – she’s a big baby when it comes to tattoos.

I got one on the back of my neck on my spine and it really wasn’t bad compared to my calf.

My tattoo that wraps around to the inside of my upper arm just below the armpit was probably the most painful so far and I plan on finishing that off as a sleeve.

I have one on my foot and another on my bikini area. I honestly think that the one on my back hurt way worse than either of those.

Just saying.

I have one on my foot and it hurt like a bitch. I just had to keep clamping my jaw to take away the pain. It was small so it only took a few minutes. I can’t imagine how people who get big ones of their feet do it.

ouch! duly noted

I have my foot done, and it didn’t hurt anywhere near as much as you state it does. I guess each person is different. I mean there was pain, but it was bearable.

truly, it depends on your pain tolerance and your mindset when you go into it. my first (and only so far) tattoo is on my ribcage. so many people told me i was going to cry from the pain and it was going to be terrible, blahblahblah. it hardly hurt at all. of course it hurt a little, but i was relaxed and it wasn’t bad. it hurt MORE when it went off my bone (it spreads onto my back off my ribcage). every time it went off, i would tense up more, but that’s about it.

you can’t let anyone else tell you what’s going to hurt and what’s not going to hurt. everyone is different.

i have tattoos on my chest, wrists, and abdomen area. its not painful if you dont think about what is happening. then again not everyone can ignore it. lol. 

i want a tattoo on my ribs xD

I have a tattoo on my inner lip, and on my foot. Yes they are both very painful. Worth it of course!

Opps I was thinking the ankle or back of my right or left shoulder…but now if it hurts on the ankle a lot i might reconsider.

ooh..that bikini tattoo is really cute.

I have one along my spine, one on my foot, and one on my shoulder blade. The most painful was along the spine, but that may have been because it was my first one. With the other ones, I knew what kind of pain I was getting, so it wasn’t stressful.

“Anywheres near your eye” No shit?  :/ I would i never guessed that. .-.; its a needle that moves just as fast as a humming bird. :/

I don’t have any. But I don’t think its where they are located at that can be the most painful. sometimes people can or can’t feel pain. I personally have high pain tolence(sp?) level. And I have another friend that can’t. So its not really the ’most painful place’ because you probably can ask a big baby about which place they think is the most painful, and they could have gotten in on the ‘least painful’ spot on there body and they probably will tell you its the worst place EVER. 
Personally I think it matters on that person’s body type, me for explain i’m all bones. I have no fat or anything on me. I’m really skinny. So probably anywheres I get one at it’ll hurt for a tiny bit. (more for me as that annoying nagging pain) 

really? I got one behind my ear/neck and it didn’t hurt at all. kinda tickled, actually.

My shoulder didn’t really hurt, so i was kind of surprised when my lower back smarted quite a bit. Working on the muscle i could handle but once he hit my spine, i did cringe. Oh, & when he was hitting my tailbone.. omg. I thought i was going to take a dump all over his floor. O.o

I have my ribs, back of ear, hip and wrist tattooed.
for me the wrist was the most painful and even that wasn’t that sore. Its bearable

That’s funny. I have several spinal tattoos, and I don’t exactly even have much ‘fat’ around that area. It was the first place I decided to get a tattoo and it was the least painful area to me. 

The bottom of the back made me almost fall asleep and at the base of the neck, very bulbous with bone, really helped with my spinal aching.
Almost like acupuncture!

I have one on my foot that was definitely the worst one I’ve gotten.  It was awful.  I cried the whole way through.  Also, bikini area really isn’t that bad.  The closer you get to the stomach and/or ribs, the more it hurts…but a little one on your hip really isn’t going to be that bad at all.  I have one on my forearm, shoulder, and inner arm that didn’t really hurt that much of all… (even though inner arm is supposed to be another tender spot)

I really want one on my wrist, but I think that I’d probably get it on my ribs instead only since it’s more easily hidden….but I’m a pansy and don’t like the whole pain thing!! Hence why I’m still tattoo free…blahh. Good post!

@Cestovatelka@xanga - I have one on each inner wrist, I’m right handed and the right hand hurt the most.

I would -definitely- add wrist to that list… That’s where my first one was done, and it was also my most painful. But, I love it, and it’s not like the pain was unbearable or anything like that…  it just hurt more than my other tattoos.

i have one on my ribs and foot. ribs hurt more. but its not like it hurts everyday. outcome is definitely worth it. and its a good kind of pain.

Got my ribs and I’ll vouch that it’s painful haha, my tattoo artist told me it’s the most painful area and since I got my first tats there that I can get them anywhere else no problem .. I heard some tattoo artists don’t do the top of feet not because of pain but because it’ll never stay, it rubs off over time no matter what.. sometimes in months..

Actually I have one on my bikini area and it hurt the least. My husband has one down each shin and another on his upper back he said the one on his upper back hurt more than the ones on his shins. I plan on getting one down my rib cage. 

The tattoo behind my ear didn’t hurt nearly as bad as the one on my lower back.  The one on my spine hurt like a bitch though.

ribs = made me cry

between shoulders = not bad at all, even going over my spinebikini= hurt very badlylower back but to the side = also hurt pretty bad. 
expect pain.

@sarahzthoughts@xanga - it’s really not that bad. I have one on the inside that says “Faith” and it stung but I didn’t think it was bad. Maybe because that was my first and only? Lol idk but it was fine.

i have one along my shoulder blades that didnt hurt nearly as much as the one on my wrist did.

I have a small one on my shoulder & that was my first, so I wasn’t sure about how it would feel.. So yes it hurt a little bit & the sound of the needle didn’t help. I also have a small treble clef on my stomach. It went from being numb to tickling, which was weird cuz I started giggling, to hurting on the last lil bit before he was done.

I plan on getting 2 more, but I’m not sure where.

I have one on my wrist (didn’t hurt at all) and also one on my foot, going along where a flip flop strap would be. It hurt in places, but wasn’t anything too unbearable. I’d describe any tattoo as cutting yourself while shaving and getting water in it :/ if that makes sense.

I have one on my foot.  :)

I’ve got three. I couldn’t feel it when I got my back tattoo’d. I seriously didn’t even know the artist had started.

My ankle was awful. I was nearly in tears.

My wrist was pretty bad. It was more painful at certain points than others, and the pain died down after the initial shock.

I’ve heard that getting one on the back of your calf hurts like a mother.

I want a rib cage/stomach one so bad, but I just know pregnancy will ruin it. DAMN IT.

This is a lie. Geez. I have a spine tattoo/neck tattoo as well as a ribcage tattoo. neither hurt.

i got one on my ankle ,
it hurt so bad on the bone !
my face went completely red – i could barley handle it

@sarahzthoughts@xanga - I’ve been told by friends who have wrist tatts that they are very painful, like the foot. I haven’t got one myself though!

@MilliRowe@xanga - that’s what has turned me off bikini tatts!! I don’t want stretchmarks in mine one day!

@sarahzthoughts@xanga - Not sure if someone has responded or not yet. But, on a scale of 1-10, I would say that my wrist tattoos were about a four. I’m really a big baby too, so it’s probably lower for someone who deals with pain well.

Oh, somewhere that really hurts is stomach/rib tattoos. I don’t have any, but my 40 year old step-father has both. During his stomach tat (it’s his last named, tattooed across his stomach), he about passed out!

Yeah, you think those are bad? Try having a baby, then reevaluate your pain scale.

@sarahzthoughts@xanga - I have a tattoo on my wrist.. it is small and took about 10 minutes and hardly hurt at all

I have one on my wrist and one on my spine.  The only part that hurt for my wrist was right under the bottom of my hand. i found further up didn’t hurt at all. My wrist are very small. Then my spine hurts in some areas but it feels like it is in another. But some spots weren’t that bad. My pain tolerance isn’t very high at all.  I think it just depends on how you act with pain, on how much it will hurt.

i have two. one on my foot and one of my bikini line. neither hurt. i’ve never heard of anywhere not doing one on the foot. you basically gave every area of the body and said it was the most painful place to get one. if you’re against tats just say so and give your reasoning. pain is more up to the person rather than the placement if you ask me. 

I got one on my wrist and it did not hurt as bad as the one on my spine!!!! My ankle tattoo hurt the worst, even worse then the rib cage one!! Its all pretty much based on pain tolerance I guess!!! All I know is they are addicting!

I have 5 tattoos; 3 go straight across my back, no they did not hurt.
One on my left ankle, which I’m getting ready to continue all the way around, also did not hurt when I got it, but the next day when I went to walk, it felt like it was ripping.
And another on my calf of my right leg, which also only hurt when I went to walk, but not as bad since it was farther away from my foot.

I’m getting a tiger down the entire length of my thigh,
and stars on the top of my forearm.
Needless to say, I’m not done. haha

But I’m weird, also. I can sit through HOURS of tattoos, but try to pierce me and I’m sicker than a dog.

My first tattoo goes down my entire spine. It actually wasn’t that bad.

@qUOtEs_4yUU_xO@xanga - ehh, I’d pass just cause I’d never have one. Pain or not. My mom didn’t have any pain though o.O

i have one on my neck and lower hip and they barely hurt, i think its just a personal pain level. 

From LEAST painful to MOST painful:

ankle wasn’t bad at all really, wrist,inner arch of my foot,upper ribs, lower ribs was much worse than the upper surprisingly, pinky toe was atrocious, even though it was probably about 15 seconds. HORRIBLE.

@Cestovatelka@xanga - i have one on my wrist, it didnt hurt at all surpisingly.

I call bs. I have one behind my ear and know multiple people who have it there, no pain whatsoever. It vibrated my head, that’s it. It’s not about how much skin is there, it’s about how many nerves are there. So think about it – if the skin is really innervated it’s going to hurt more. Hands, for instance. Back of ear? Not so much.

I also have one on my foot, it hurt worse but not that badly.And I’ve heard the inside of the lip is painless. I don’t trust this post much, just saying.

I want to get one on my back and I might get a corset tattoo down my spine with something that has to do with french/France.

mine is on my foot that also sits around the ankle bone. first tattoo, figured i’d get it in a painful place.  my pain level must be really high because i just found it to be an annoying feeling, not painful! totally would re-do it haha.  i want my second tattoo to be on another supposedly painful place, most likely my spine, starting on the back of the neck I also would like one behind my ear!

what about getting near your underarm tattooed? that must be a trainwreck haha, my sister was flinching when the tattoo artist starting filling in the part of her shoulder tattoo that was near her back underarm

I honestly enjoyed most of the 15 minutes it took to get my tattoo. I have a cat paw print on top of my foot. The feeling was good except for maybe 2 seconds throughout the whole thing. I loved the feeling, maybe that makes me weird. I want to get more. My tattoo is all black and is a around the size of a nickel I suppose. LOVE tattoo’s. I want to get musical notes tattooed behind my ear and I want to get one of my favorite french words tattooed on my wrist in my handwriting.

I don’t have a tattoo, but it seems pretty cool. I probs wont ever get one though, looks so  painful ! If i were, it’d be behind my ear or on my wrist.

*Shudders* Ohhh. ><

I have a tattoo that covers my foot and goes up to my ankle. It hurt sooo bad! Buy mostly the lining and shading. Color didn’t kill me as much. But I hated when it got close to my toes.

I have four tattoos. One on my ankle which i would say hurt the most but only when they went over the bone. One on my wrist which did NOT hurt at all, it was done in less then 15 minutes,  pain free. I have on on my bikini line which did not hurt until it went over the actual hip bone itself, but it didn’t even hurt that much and i have one on my spine in between my shoulder blades, which again didn’t hurt that much for me until he started doing the shading and coloring. I really really think it depends on your tolerance on pain generally. I have a high tolerance for pain hence why my tattoos hardly were any pain to me, but if you don’t have a high tolerance for pain I’d imagine it’d hurt. But it’s only temporary feeling. To me i compare it to when your foot falls asleep and it starts tingling like crazy and you sit there moving it like a mad man until the tingling goes away. The tingling feeling is what i feels like to me, It hurts for just a second when they first start and then it just starts tingling!

I have tattoos on my feet and it didn’t hurt at all. The needle did cause my foot to jerk every time he hit a nerve and that was cool to watch. 

It’s sharp feeling over your spine, I mean someone is dragging a needle over your bones, it’s going to hurt.  I had one done on my back-shoulder area, that hurt too, but not as bad.  

I have 10, but of these locations I have one behind the ear, one along the spine, one in the hip/bikini area, three on my feet, and one around my ankle. Feet definitely hurt worse than anything else, in my experience, but they’re a nice place to express yourself without being blatantly unprofessional-looking. 

And just for anyone counting, the other three tattoos are on my shoulder blade, hand, and above the ankle lol.

I have a full foot tattoo, it’s the most pain I’ve ever been in, and doing it in one five hour sitting sent my body into shock a little. Would I do it again? Hell yeah!

@ncxcorexkid@xanga - Freak ;P

I didn’t even FEEL my neck tattoo…(on the back of my neck btw) but I have a full back piece and oh my fucking god that hurt.

I have a really high pain tolerance but the tattoos I got on my ankles hurt like a biiiiitch.  The one on my hip/bikini area didn’t hurt nearly as much in comparison to be honest.  I have a small one on my butt too (haha) but I didn’t even really feel that, it tickled more than anything.

I just got one on my chest yesterday and it hurt pretty bad. Especially around and on the collar bone. I could feel it vibrating throughout my whole left side all the way to my hip. I found that counting helps

@Cestovatelka@xanga - I have tattoos on both wrists and it didn’t hurt at all.

I also have ink on both feet, it wasn’t a great feeling but nothing unbearable where I had to take a break. I think a lot of it really depends on your pain threshold.

I didn’t take the time to read the comments, so if anyone else smart said this already, my bad.

Pain is subjective. There is really no asking someone else “will it hurt in this spot?” and getting an answer that is going to be true of you and YOUR body. Everyone is different. Hell, every artist is different and will tell you something that another one might not. I got my first tattoo on the inside of my upper arm, and you know what the tattoo artist said? “That is the most painful spot, you won’t be able to handle that as a first tattoo.” Uhm, fuck you, I’m paying YOU to do it, not tell me I shouldn’t because it might hurt. Which it DID NOT AT ALL, by the way.

People have different pain tolerances. End of story

i have a tattoo on my ribs and it was extremely painful. I have piercings and i have a really high pain tolerance so i thought it would be nothing. the entire thing last two hours but i thought it would never end! it was deffinately worth it though!

my first tattoo was done on the left side of my lower back. it was pretty damn painful, i won’t lie. i was shaking because of how bad it hurt. idk if i’d ever get another lol

I really do not feel like this was a good list at all. How about the elbow?

I have lots and lots of all over my back, down both sides of my ribs and onto my stomach. None of it bothered me except for my stomach. All the tattoo artists I have talked to have said the stomach is one of the most painful places to get a tattoo…

now write about how to let your parents get you one!!

The one on my ankle is tiny but hurt like a mofo

My tattoo is on the nape of my neck. I didn’t find it all that painful, a tad stingy, but in a pleasant tingly way, no worse then dipping your finger in candlewax, but then I have a weird pain thresh-hold. I found that the left side hurt a Little bit more then the right though. Get something little first, if you’re scared of the pain. My next piece will take up my upper back, followed by my hipbones, then up my ribs, then my feet, I was amused that Most of the work I want done is on these supposedly most painful places to be tattooed XD

Pshhhhhh, if u can’t handle getting a shot then don’t get a tat. Seriously. 

Ankle: it was nothing. 
Hip bone: it was nothing
wrist: pinched
behind ear: Nothing
Maybe my pain tolerance is high?

I have two – one on the back of my neck and one right below my bikini line.  The one on the back of my neck didn’t really hurt all that bad.  I was scared because it was my first one and everyone said that’s the worst place to get one, but it didn’t hurt as bad as I thought it would.  Maybe because I was high at the time?  Anyway!  The one on my bikini line hurt like hell.  The girl asked me if she wanted me to stop and I told her no because if she stopped I wouldn’t let her start again.  It bled like crazy, too.  Unfortunately, I have to get it retouched.  Definitely not going to look forward to that…

I disagree with behind the ear, spine and ankle hurting.
None of those places hurt when I got mine there, but its different for everyone.
The foot does hurt though!

I have one on my ribcage and it most definitely hurt. a lot. but I don’t regret it. 

behind the EAR does not hurt at all. i couldnt even feel it and the owner of the shop told me its actually one of the LEAST painful.

Honestly, spine was the least painful tattoo for me….my boyfriend agrees that for him that area isn’t painful to get done either… wrists are sensitive, but only a small area, so it’s not too bad because once you move on from it, along the arm, it’s much less painful. 

The only tattoo I’ve had done that hurt more than “usual” was on my lower abdomen/bikini area.  And that wasn’t even that bad once it had numbed from the outlining.   I do have a high tolerance for pain though. hehe Plus the pain is half the fun of getting tattooed!!

So basically.. anywhere.

I want to get a big one in about the same place Megan Fox has hers.. probably not the best idea for a first tattoo, and a good sized one.

you forgot chest! like right under collar bone! oww

i only have one on the back of my shoulder and it wasn’t bad. my next one will be a small one on my wrist so even if it does hurt, it’ll be over pretty quick haha.

when i can lose a crap ton of weight, i plan on getting a really big, pretty ribcage one. (:

@proudsmartypants@xanga - Do you have any tattoos?

@sweet__madness@xanga - Nah, I was just being an obnoxiously obtuse commenter.

I want a spine and ankle tattoo. I knew a guy who had a tattoo on his ribcage and got kidney failure from that! @_@

tattoos are ugly. 

@Japanesenightpurplegeisha@xanga - wowowowowo thanks for the info. 

@jess_i_cuh@xanga - I had this guy try to hit on me in a bar on St. Patty’s Day by showing me his lower lip tattoo that said “Kiss Me, I’m Irish.”  That was very unattractive…but more because it was a pathetic pick-up attempt than because of the tattoo itself

I’ve heard that the chest/collarbone area is one of the worst as far as pain, which makes sense.  I have one between my shoulder blades that didn’t really hurt much, one on my forearm that didn’t hurt at all, and 2 on my neck that are small but were more painful.  I have one right on the back of my neck and that hurt like a mother, but it was short.  Any pain you go through is worth it, and once it’s done healing then you’re set for life as long as you keep it protected from sun and keep your skin moisturized.

I have a tattoo on the front of my thigh (from the knee to the upper end of my thigh) and it hurts alot, but the less terrible was above the knee. The more plainful is on the inside of the thigh… I almost cried !

My boyfriend, who’s tattoed on the neck, shoulders, clavicle, chest, fingers, calf, thigh and both feets said the worst is the feet. And fingers hurt like hell too.

It depends on the person too. Some people have more muscle or fat in some areas then others… so therefore some areas will hurt more on certain people. The places that are the most boney (least muscle and fat) hurt more because there`s not as much `cushioning`. lol. My tattoo didn`t hurt at all! 

I have two on my back, one small piece and another very large piece that covers my shoulder blade.  The one on the shoulder blade hurt worse than the smaller tattoo which is on my supper spine. 

I had 4 out of the 10 listed here.

I would say the one on my foot hurted the most. Im considering getting another one on my ribcage.

I currently had tattoos on my bicep, back of ear, foot, spine, wrist and thumb. and NON of them hurt as much as the one on my foot.

@sarahzthoughts@xanga - I got a tat on my inner wrist (my grandmother’s initials and a heart with a cross through it) and I was shocked at how much it hurt. But it was small so it didn’t take long. I also have no other tats so I don’t have much to compare it to. I’m glad I got it though, I really wanted it, so it was def worth it!

@sarahzthoughts@xanga - 

the wrist has been the easiest spot for me to get a tattoo. no pain at all!

I have 3, two on my chest, those were painful, its right on my colar bones, and the one on my shoulder blade tickled more than anything

Weeeeell that sucks, I want one on my rib cage AND my foot.  Oh well, guess I’ll be biting on something leather.  And maybe being held down.

(That’s what she said.)

I have one on my hip bone in front. It hurt like hell for me cause I’m itty bitty. Even though I got it like 2 years ago, it will be a while before I work up the guts to get another. I have gotten more peircings since then, though. Which also hurt, but I’m dumb I guess. I’m still scared of needles. haha

i hardly felt the one behind my ear, in fact it felt good.  the one on the front of my ankle hurt a little, but i think it was the artist… it was july 5th and i think he was hungover and didnt want to be at work.

Behind the ear does not hurt AT ALL. The foot on the other hand….that one hurt like a bitch. 

I have one behind my ear. it didn’t hurt at all.

@sarahzthoughts@xanga - Honestly, the wrist is one of the more painful places to get tattooed. The closer to the hand…the more it hurts, but not near as bad as the throat, lower ankle or ribs. Many girls live through it, im sure you can too haha.

This is so incorrect its not even funny. The eyelid, back of the ear, and hip/lower ab area are all pretty painless. The feet arent that bad either. There are way worse spots on the body to get tattooed than the ones listed. The ribs suck (they got that one right), the inner arm, the head, the palm of your hands, and inside the finger are all extruciating.

Mm, I have one on the back of my neck which was the least painful out of all of them. I have one on my wrist that hurt pretty badly, but nothing too ubearable. I also have one on my ribcage….that is fully in color, and about the size of 2 fists. That….hurt like a son of a bitch. took 2 hours to completely finish it. Id recommend not getting anything color on your ribs. THEN I have one on my pinky….it took a whole minute and a half….and I promise you it felt like the skin on my pinky was being ripped with a very dull saftey pin.

I got one on my rib and I want my other one on my foot…the places that hurt the most. smh.  oh well.

I’m sixteen and I have two on my ribcage and it hurt but nothing that made me want to tell him to stop. It’s a needle it’s gonna be painful but it’s really worth it when you see the finished product. My first tattoo takes up my entire ribcage down to my hip and I was fine. My second one is under my breast which is non stop contact with bone. If you want a tattoo be prepared for pain but nothing so bad you should shy away from it. My mom  has one on both her ankle and her wrist and she didn’t blink an eye. It’s very personal how you think the pain will be. Chill out and embrace the pain. 

* Behind ear didn’t hurt much @ all.

* Neck, not a thing.

* Shoulder, not @ all.

*Lower back, painful in some spots but not to bad

* Feet–definitely painful

*Ribs– HORRIFIC

* Hips–wasn’t that bad but towards butt meat is TERRIBLE

* Area between ribs and hip is very very bad.

Hope this helps

i have a tattoo on my ankle going on to my foot and i’m not gonna lie it looks great but if i could go back in time i wouldnt do it the pain is horrid…as for behind the ear that was a breeze compared to the ankle…if u can handle the ankle a tat anywhere else would be a breeze

I have 7 tattoos both of my wrists,lower back, upper back,half sleeve,foot, and my rib cage…..Worst One RIG CAGE for sure!!! wanna be in some pain get tatted there. All my others were not so bad hope this helps 

I’m booked in to have around where the sun doesn’t shine up to just below my family jewels. I’ve been putting it off for long enough, so can’t wait to get it done once and for all.

@mementoviveredarling@xanga - bikini area was my first tat ever and it didn’t hurt too much. the hip bone i could barely feel, it was once it got closer to my belly button that it hurt more.

I have one on the back of my neck, high spine it didn’t hurt at all. My forehead hurt more from laying on it.

I have one on my lower back, no pain

One on my back shoulder only when it hit bone did it hurt.

One on my foot – burns

I have 2 on my wrists, the one w/ shading, colored in hurt the most. It burnt more than pain.

My next one is on the back of my ear will post after I get that one.

The area on the inside part of the elbow also hurts A LOT

the skin there is just so soft and tenderpersonally I think it hurt way more getting tattooed there than over bone areas

I have two tattoos right now, one on my shoulder blade and one on the top of my foot. The one on my shoulder blade didn’t hurt at all, but the one on my foot hurt really bad. I couldn’t walk for a few days because it was swollen so much. I am debating getting another on the back of my neck…anyone out there that could tell me how much it hurts compared to the two I currently have??

I have one on my hip bone and it was my first tattoo, It did not hurt at all! It just felt like the artist was writing on my hipbone with a pen and just pressing really hard, and you barely bleed in the hip/bikini area!

i have 7 in total and pain wise my foot was the most painful i cried, next i would have to say would b the back of my neck on my spine, then its would me the one om my forearm, after that would be the two on either of my wrists, and finally the lest painful spots were the two on my shoulders they were a piece of cake compared to all of the others put together. i really want to get both sides of my ribs done but a lot of people say that it hurts more then getting your foot done, so i dont know what i should do. anyone have any helpful words?

I have tattoos on my leg, rib, lower back and back of my neck.
By far the most painful one was the one on my ribs, and I had to go for 2 sits.
The one on my lower back hurt in certain spots, same with the one on the back of my neck.
The one on the side of my leg didn’t hurt at all!
Foot is next, but I heard it hurts like a bitch!!

I have a large back piece that covers from my lower neck to the middle of my back and to my right side. The spine didn’t hurt at all for me. It felt really weird, like a vibrating throughout all the bones of the body, but no pain. The real pain came when he went over my shoulder blade and towards my ribs. Those were the worst!

I got one on my wrist today.. it hurt like a mofo!!! @Marica0701@xanga - 

Wrist tattoo about 3 inches..pain about a 3
Left lower back about baseball size…pain 7
Tribal across upper back shoulder to shoulder…pain 5
Whole top of Foot(ankle to toe knuckles) …pain 10+

Iv got 1 inside my ear – didn’t fell
Behaind my ear – didn’t feel
Back of my kneck – didn’t feel
Top of my spine – didne feel
Top of my arm – didn’t feel
Inside of my arm – didn’t feel
Wrist – didn’t feel
Bottom of my leg – didn’t feel
Side of my ribs/stomach – didn’t feel
Foot – didn’t feel
Side of my hand – didn’t feel
Inside of my finger F***ing KILLED

Spine wasn’t bad for me. The elbow and the bit opposite the elbow hurt most for me

I have multiple tattoos with the lastest being a full sleave. I have 40 hours into it and go 8 hour sessions. the inside of my wirst and inner to back side of my forearm for some reason was the most intense pain I ever felt during all of my tattoos. 1 and a 1/2 days later Im still in pain and trying to keep my arm raised because when i drop it and the blood flows, it throbs! Can’t wait to finish (inner bicep)……
