Five Painful Places to Get a Tattoo

To: Knucklehead; I knew who quoted that line, I just didn't think you'd know who Jim Morrison was. HELLO?
Your comments and feelings are duly noted. Next time I see a biker or stripper with body-art, I'll think of you.
PEACE TO YOU & YOURS. TheWiZ.

I have tattoo behind my ear as well and it did not hurt me either. I should note that it is a piece of wheat (colored yellow) that is only like 4 inches big and only took about 30 minutes to finish. My Virgin Mary that stretches up my bicep from the elbow to my shoulder wasn't too bad but it did take 2 sessions at 3 hours each time so it did start to hurt after awhile. I have heard from many friends that the side of the ribs down to your waist has been the most painful for them.

If anyone hasn't noticed.....most of the people that are commenting on the negative parts of tattooing do not sound very intelligent, sound very judgemental, and appear to have a very immature mentality. Having a battle of witts with an unarmed person never works.
My husband has numerous tattoos that were well thought out and planned, and he is currently working on a full sleeve. He has only regretted one, and it was the one he got right out of high school on a whim. (He has since had it covered up) I on the other hand, waited until I was 26 years old to even consider having a tattoo done. I researched what I wanted , I thought about it for a long period of time, and then finally went and had it done. I put it in a spot I felt comfortable with, one that I could cover when I chose to or let it show when I wanted it to, and I have not once regretted it. In fact, I went and had more detail added to it. We are both educated, have well-mannered, intelligent children, and jobs where we deal with the public on a regular basis. As for the stereotypes people keep commenting on, I have found that to be the exception and not the rule. Many tattoed people are kind, considerate, NON-JUDGEMENTAL, and extremely intelligent. They just look at the world from a different perspective than some.
As for the pain, which is what the article was intended to be about; while it was not the most pleasant thing I have experienced (you are having ink injected into your skin with a needle :) ) it was by far not the most painful, either. It was completely tolerable, and not at all what I expected due to horror stories from other people who were trying to talk me out of it. Most of their opinions were due to lack of information.
As for all tattoos looking alike: as tattoos get more main stream there are a lot more people who pick one out of a book that thousands of others have picked, BUT there are many people who have original, beautiful artwork that has a significant meaning in their lives.
Absolutely nobody has the right to judge anybody about a choice they have made regarding tattooing their bodies. Tattooed people come from all walks of life, many different socio-economical backgrounds, and many different races and religions. If you don't like to look at them,..... DON'T! If a girl looks trashy to you because of a tattoo...WALK AWAY..Let some other man who takes the time to get to know her for who she is, be the lucky person . If you have that strong of an opinion about tattoos..HAVE YOUR OPINIONS, but keep them to yourself because you would not like someone telling you how and why you should live your life the way they choose for you to. Don't judge anyone until you have walked a mile in their shoes...Prejudging a person can really cause you to miss out on some really fantastic friends.

My first tattoo appeared on my body when I was only 16, by the way there was my Birthday so it was my present. As is known, it is the age when young men have intention to be allocated, draw attention, and probably I not exception.. Possibly, I could avoid it if my parents have forbidden to me. But they have told, that it is my life, my body and according to me to solve, what to do with these, the main thing that I have not regretted then about it.. And here now I till do not know, I regret or not. But in minutes of doubts I remember as I wished to have a tattoo on the body, as I was captured with that sudden impulse. And it is fine. Now I'm 17 years old, and I have got one tattoo on my waist, it is a banal Keltic pattern, but such beautiful. However, I think, that this is not my unique tattoo which will be on my body. And one more reason on which I probably has gone on it, it is that fact, that I am afraid of a pain (and to hurt a tattoo on a waist badly enough), and here to these I likely prove to myself, that I can overcome my fears.
P. S. In conclusion, it would be desirable to advise only to those who was solved on a tattoo not to do a tattoo in the summer when ultra-violet beams are so dangerous, because on the sun tattoo fades.

My first (and currently only) tattoo is a large one on my left side extending from my hip to my armpit. The worst spot was working on the ribs as the needle vibrated my bones and just generally hurt like hell. Lower down it still hurt at times but it would numb a bit and once I even fell asleep.

Talk to the artist about what you want and don't start until you are happy with the design, location and size. Mine is actually twice the size I had originally intended but it was such an amazing design I just went with it. My only regret is that I don't get the chance to show it off as much as I'd like! My next one will probably be on the arm or another easily visible place.

There is noting more unappealign than a woman with a tatoo, especially on her chest. I don't know when this whole trend started. It is another attempt by women to show men how much like men they can be like men.. Men don't want women to be men...they want them to be women. Here is a quick tip to women. No man would rather watch a game with you, play video games, go out for beers, a ball game, etc. They wold rather go with their regular friends. And no man takes any woman seriously who thinks they are a wild and crazy party animal. Oh sure, the man might want to have a one-nighter with them but for a serious relationship, no way. This tatoo trend will end and there will be alot of women going to the "un-tattoer" to have these things removed. I take back my original statement. A tatoo on a woman with wrinklined skin is even more unattractive. And yes, girls, believe it or not, you will age. And you all can compare your wrinklled tattos at the over 40 singles dances you all will be attending.

Tattoos can represent many different things to many different people. As far as pain goes, I think I have a pretty high threshold, and I have taken about 4 and a half hours of work to my ribcage. I wouldn't say it was the most painful thing I've ever had to do but it definitely stings. I'd advice breathing rhythmically, and trying to focus on something other than the dull pain, that after about an hour turns into an almost sickening pain. Also, take breaks and drink water. Don't stand up too fast, and keep it uncovered as long as you can afterward, especially if it is a larger tattoo. Contrary to this article though, I noticed that the pain increased around my breast tissue, and my tummy fat. The actual ribcage just felt hot. Touch-ups are also more painful than the original tattooing.

All of you who have absolutely nothing better to do with your time than to put people down for something that they wanted are pathetic. Tatoos on someone elses body are doing you no harm. If you are really that close minded......stay home. Nobody wants to hear how much you dislike something. People who have them, like myself, like them the majority of the time. I'm sure there is something that people with tatoos can put you down for doing you pathetic pieces of shi*.

Apparently there is a disconnect here.
If a person gets a tattoo, it is their choice. Some are beautiful and some are tacky, like "do not enter" above your rearend.
If you truly want a tattoo and it means something to you rather than fitting in with the fad, go get one then, take the advice of people about seeking professionals and thinking it out.
I personally don't have any tattoos, nor do I want one, but that is just me. Maybe time will change that, who knows.
I don't think differently about a person's qualifications, upbringing, or intelligence if they have a tattoo. Tattoos are a life long commitment. Just be smart about what you put on your body and who does it.

I got a tattoo on top of my big toe. It hurt so bad, but it was worth it. I also got one behind my ear, and it was the least painful thing that has ever happened to me. I hate needles and I do NOT take pain well at all, but it seriously felt like someone was lightly scratching behind my ear. It was so peaceful(other than the noise) that I almost went to sleep!

This is an article about tattoos...if you don't like them, just don't read it. Stop wasting your time arguing with people who obviously like them. Ridiculous.

I currently have two tattoos myself, one on my hip and one behind my ear. I have to disagree with this artice when it depscires how this spot or that spot is painful cuz it all depends on the person. From my experience the tattoo behind my ear tickled! LOL Funny I know but that's the truth. I also have friends with tattoos on their feet and some said it hurt others said it was just annoying. So I would say the only truth to this article would probably be the eye and down below! Everything else depends on who you are and your ability to tolerate pain!

Comment: To KnuckleSandwich er whatever; Your assessment of me is equal to your intelligence = ZERO. Someone alot smarter than I once said "Nobody Gets Out Alive" and that also refers to you - sorry for the enlightenment

That someone, was Jim Morrison genius. And you quoting the words of the dead, make them the "Grateful" dead. At least they don't have to listen to such mindless drabble, spewing from your mouth... And I'm starting to think my assessment of you was pretty accurate, now. Free will is what you were given. I will not argue with that. You don't like tattoo's fine. You spoke your peace. That's your opinion and nobody minds hearing your opinion every now and then... But when your mouth, starts to sound more like your keister.... you get the picture. Like I said:
