This is a question that always gets asked.%uFFFD I see everyone is really concerned about the pain level.%uFFFD The question is often asked in many different forms.%uFFFD Does a wrist tattoo really hurt'%uFFFD Or how bad is the pain for a foot tattoo and so on and so forth.%uFFFD Here is one question that someone just asked.
Question
out of 1-10 how much dose it hurt to get a arm tattoo,leg,boob,back,ankle,and lower belly tattoo '
Here is my answer.
Wow are you planning on getting a bunch of tattoos in all of those places'%uFFFD Or are you looking to get a tattoo in the least painful place'
Pain level is pretty hard to state.%uFFFD The following are all factors
1.%uFFFD The area being tattooed.
2.%uFFFD You tolerance level for pain.
3.%uFFFD The skill of the artist.
With that being said in regards to the placement and where might hurt more boob, leg, back and etc.%uFFFD Here is a pretty good way to think about it.%uFFFD Anywhere that the skin is close to the bone is going to hurt more then where there is a lot of fatty tissue.%uFFFD So using that scenario a butt tattoo would hurt a heck of a lot less then a top of the foot tattoo or wrist.%uFFFD The only except to that rule would be tattooing really sensitive area on the body ex: boob.
Some things to help with the pain.
1.%uFFFD iPod
2.%uFFFD Good magazine or book
3.%uFFFD Slow breathing and concentration
4.%uFFFD A good friend or loved one
Try to keep your attention off of the pain and focused elsewhere.%uFFFD Whatever you do don't go out and get drunk before getting the tattoo.%uFFFD Many artists will refuse to give you a tattoo if you are too drunk.%uFFFD Plus that is not how to take the pain.%uFFFD Go in sit down and take the pain as part of the experience.%uFFFD You might even find it exciting as pain and pleasure are very close for many people.
Hope that helps.
