Least painful spot for a tattoo

[Gloomy Inks]

For me, outside of the forearms. It either doesn`t hurt, or Im skin dead.

My wife said the same thing. Didn`t hurt her at all.

Im starting to think Im a real wuss. I did my thighs myself and it not only hurt, it made me a little sick feelin`.

You`re right though. Upper arms don`t hurt much.

I think the biggest take away of this thread is how differently people experience tattoos.

I thought my full-thigh tattoo was more painful than most of the sessions I had on my ribs/torso.

Add the variables of size, length of sit, style/detail, efficiency of the tattooer (BTW can we start a thread on how much worse the wiping is than the actual tattooing during a long sit?) and I really believe you can't take anyone's word for how "bad" or "easy" any one spot is going to be.

This is a pretty good thread. Lot of thought here.

I guess the wipe would irritate more, and of course the factors of what kind of machines you might be running, the skill level of the artist (and by that I don`t mean how she/he can draw. I mean the art of applying a colored wound) and where your mind is too.

Maybe that`s really it. Where is your head at?

For me, the top of the shoulders was the least painful, but also bruised the most.

My upper lower inner arm.bruises pretty bad.

I read that, and even I have tough time following it.

I am a firm believer in this!

Someone should retitle the thread!

I haven't have much spots tattooed yet, but the least painful was definitely inner forearm, I could easily sit for two more hours. Some parts of my back were easy too (I say SOME, the rest belongs to that other thread).

What I really hate are pauses, because my skin has time to realize what is happening to it and the tattooing again after a pause stings and hurts much more.

Back side of my upper arms. Shading. Not lining.

Side of the hip seemed mellow. I also had a numb spot behind my right armpit, felt nothing but pressure there. I hear the whole back is like that, right?

[Gingerninja]

Upper rib cage about four inches down from my armpit. I felt exactly nothing for 2.5 hours Nothing. Nada. Zip.

For me, it was my skull. Didn't hurt at all.

my neck and the top of my hand has been the least painful for me.

I have to say outer forearm. However I didn't find the achilles or ankle bad at all (in fact, in some places I couldn't feel it at all!)
