hogg Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Another vote for the ass. I literally bit the pillow during the outline. Now I just have three hours of tebori shading to go... Oh joy. Who's doing your tebori? Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/186-most-painful-spot-to-get-tattooed/?page=19#findComment-60901 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogg Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Horimomo. Oh, man...his stuff is so nice! Very classic irezumi look to it. What's his story? Is he...Italian? Where did he learn tebori?

Roguecommander Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Horimomo is Japanese & based in Tokyo. He was trained by a traditional tebori master whose name, I'm afraid, I don't know. He visits Britain once a year and tattoos at Nine Tails Tattoo in London and - I think - MVL in Leeds. Obviously I'm biased, but I love the elegance and traditionalism of his work. When I saw his work & heard he was coming to Britain, I knew he was the artist for me.

OceanSkull Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 My left shin has been my worst so far, and a close second would be my thigh. wow, the shin i've have both my shins done but it wasn't so much a painful thing rather a bit uncomfortable :) but having said that the most pain i had was the tops of my hands Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/186-most-painful-spot-to-get-tattooed/?page=19#findComment-60951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigmentos Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 So far the most painful had been my chest (12 hrs of fun) but Im sure that will change when I get my arm pits blasted. Shins are also not fun for skinny people.

a1steaks Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Shins sucked, but the worst was the tailbone just above the ass crack. I felt like I was levitating off the table whenever that spot got hit! hogg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/186-most-painful-spot-to-get-tattooed/?page=19#findComment-60989 Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Flores Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Shins are easier than back of leg, IMO, until you get close to knee cap, but more weird sensation than pain. I still think the tattoo that hurts the most is the one your are getting at the time or about to get.

JeffK Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 My shin was my first and wasn't too bad. The part over the bone went numb pretty quick actually. Out of my 14 the wrists were the worst no doubt. My sternum was 2nd worse. I had some behind my ears and those I actually laughed during it. It was tough to stay still. It didn't tickle it was just a weird sensation more than pain. But anything along that anterior/inside of the forearm (especially closer to the wrists) kills me. I think my skin is just really sensitve there.

Vinn Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 So far for me it has to be knee caps, but I start my back piece in a few months so I'm sure my perspective will change. I'm hoping my back will not be like my knees but from what I've been told it will be.

I'm hoping my back will not be like my knees but from what I've been told it will be. The back feels like you're being drilled on your spin or kidneys. No matter where you're being worked on. The pain gravitates to those 2 spots. Which doesn't compare to getting your ass done. That is the most unbearable of them all. Although I have never done knee caps. I have done armpits.

hollyjoybee Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 This whole thread scares me... i'm a good 'sitter' so far but i've gone for all the easy spots first! Thinking i should've dove in with a rib/sternum/elbow/knee combo and then everything else would be a breeze! i'm looking at having to deal with the elbow ditch pretty soon so we'll see how that goes! Worst bit for me so far was top of the foot and that was only vine work!

Hogrider Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I wouldn't sweat the elbow ditch. My lower back hurt way worse. I didn't think the ditch was that bad. hollyjoybee 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/186-most-painful-spot-to-get-tattooed/?page=19#findComment-62788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacem Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 My new tattoo artist said it is really hard to tell when i am in pain so that is a good thing. My sleeve leading onto my chest is almost done and id have to say the ditch was easily the worst. I hated it the whole time.
