Five Painful Places to Get a Tattoo

I have several tattoos. I don't recall them being particularly painful, except for the one around my belly button. (so much for the "fat" idea). I have a ring of fire. My initial thought when he started was "this probably wasn't a good idea". Breathing helps. Almost 4 years later, I consider it to be one of my most beautiful tats.

Getting your face tattooed does not hurt as bad as getting a regular tattoo. They numb you first when getting your face tattooed. i think the person who wrote this article did not research well. the three most painful spots to be tattooed are: feet, ribs and the underside of ones arm. And chicks with tattoos are badical. Dudes need to get off their high horses.

I have 11 tattoos including 1 on each ankle. Personally I thought those & my forearm were the least painful. Everyone feels pain differently, so it all depends on there person. I'm proud of each of my tattoos, because like victorian stated, they all have special meaning to me, so any pain is worth it.

*dies laughing* This has been a riot, and I'd like to thank you all. I love my 4 tattoos, all of them Japanese/Geisha-themed, and I'm planning my 5th in celebration of Spring. I'm a 46-year old Mother of 2, and I have 27 piercings in my flesh. My children and Hubby of 23 years appreciate my mods, even though they have none of their own. So color me trashy!! HAHAHAHA! *nods to all her fellow body-modders*
I was just wondering something...does Jussy rhyme with ***? =)

shadowhawk64 I had my first tattoo done about a year ago on my left shoulder area. It took about two and a half hours. The first hour was strange, not really painfull, but the last hour and a half I fell asleep.to me it was relaxing. Its up to the individual what they want to do with they're body. My wife has tattoos and i think its great.

I never thought that I would like to get a tatoo fist because of the pain and then because of the getting old factor. I have three sons who are covered in tatoos and I never had a probelm with that but when my neice got one on the small of her back I told her that it looks nice now but what about when she is old and its hanging by her butt and she is having someone changing her diapers see it her reply... if I am having to have someone change my diapers do you really think I will care about a tatoo??/ good point. then my son died a couple months ago and the one thing he bugged e about constantly was getting a tatoo. well I got his name on the inside of my wrist did it hurt YES but I do not regret it one bit. I am a professional and I have never had anyone say anything negative about this and to me it somehow keeps my sone alive in my heart.

I just got the top of my left foot done about a week ago. I have 3 others but i have to agree with the article, it had to be the most painful of all my ink and piercings! OUCH

I HAVE 19 TATTOOS . THE ONLY ONE THAT HURT IS ON MY LOWER BACK.ONCE YOU GET USED TO THE NEEDLE YOU REALLY DON'T NOTICE.I THINK I AM ADDICTED TO THE SOUND OF THE NEEDLE

For those judging people based on whether or not they have tattoos, I am extremely disheartened that there are such shallow people out there. To claim that a person is "trashy" "redneck" "tacky" "members of society who do not hold themselves in high-esteem" based on a tattoo is shallow and ignorant. Conceit and ignorance are uglier than any tattoo, hairstyle or outfit.

pornboy, must you be so rude?

I am 48, and had my first tat done at 44. I now have three and am planning my 4th. The first , on my outer calf, didn't hurt except for the "dark spots" ( the eye of my parakeet portrait). The 2nd, I barely felt ( upper arm) and my third, outer right calf, hurt, but not unbearable. ( a portrait of my cockatiel) I guess when you see the beautiful result, you forget the pain. I can't wait for my next one...yep, another of my pet birds....lol

i have 19 tattoos.the only one that hurt was on my lower back.

i honestly have to disagree with the one on the top of the foot...i have one that covers the whole top of my right foot and it didnt hurt at all...but on the other hand the one on the middle top of my back did...i think the pain is handled by how you breath during the process...

Yep Jussy, I'm the trashiest kind... I'm a tattoo artist even! I make others trashy too! Soon I will fill the world with trashy tattoed skin on trashy bodies and they'll love it and no one will care what you in all your close minded glory think!

I think that if people want to get a tatoo then that is their business and nobody should judge them if they dont know them, even if they have a tatoo.

Outlning is the worse part of the tattoo. Once you get through that you're good to go. After the outline is done, there are waves of pain here and there, but not unbareable to me. And I have 6 of them. Most painful for me (so far) was my lower back and my shoulder.

For those men who say women with tattoos are trashy, we could care less. Women with tattoos are generally not attracted to conservative men who judge people based on their looks and self expression. It is extremely shallow and ignorant to judge people based on their looks.

i have many tattoo's coming close to 11 now..Including the foot and all around the ancle none of witch hurt at all the only one that did hurt was the one on my calve .Most people i've talked to describe getting tattooed as sort of an orgasmic expiernce, and i'd have to agree..melissa from ontario
