Pain level on wrist

[ligatortat]

Considering an inner wrist tattoo - heard it might be a painful area since the skin is thin there - any experiences?

my wrists were not necessarily worse than any other parts for me,IMO all tattoos hurt.

 

don't let the pain level of a certain body part steer your desire to have a tattoo.

I don't have near the coverage of a lot of people here (full left sleeve, and lower right arm), but the little swallow I just had done on my right inner wrist topped them all pain wise.

I wouldnt worry about it. Even if it does hurt, the wrist is such a small area that it wouldnt last long.

It will take about three minutes to do that tiny atom doodle you want. The pain will be very quick. I have tattoos on both my wrists, and I think they hurt less than most other places, but you have nothing to compare it to.

wow oboogie you are just full of sarcastic obnoxious comments - just what people new to tattooing are looking for

forearms are easy spots to have tattooed imo - not painful and you have a front row seat to the action - enjoy

You are welcome! Hahaha.

Also, I'm not being sarcastic in this instance. My second tattoo was a tiny wrist doodle. It took less than five minutes. Pain was over before it fully registered.

Personally, for me, outer forearm was a breeze. Inner was a bit dicey. I have one so low on my left wrist it basically touches my palm. It wasn't pleasant. Weird electrifying  volts shooting into my hand. Just weird feeling.  The one that touches my wrist on my other arm doesn't go so low, but still wasn't super fun. All manageable, but I felt it for sure.

I had my inner wrist done (about 3" x 3" dragonfly with script above) and it wasn't nearly as painful as I thought it would be.  Ankle was much worse.  Good luck.
