Newbie!! Hello! :)

[Cinnamon Girl]

Hello all!  I stumbled across this site while googling different pain levels for tattoos on parts of the body.  Have read some interesting  threads on here.  Glad to have found this place! 🙂 For me personally top of my back / between shoulder blades is the worst pain so far!

I got my hip/side done on Friday and after the 2.5 hour mark it started to hurt like a b*tch with the heavier lines but I got through it and I frikkin love it!!  What do you all think? (Please excuse my fat arse.)

Some slight bruising, very tender and in the most awkward place! But overall very very happy 🙂

 

Anyway... Hi 😁

 

[scottyg]

nice!!

yeah, the back in general is *brutal*

cheers, and welcome.

Howdy and welcome!

I've only been tattooed on the arms so far, but have been amazed how much difference in pain there can be between the top and underside of the arm... and difference in artists.

Greetings!

I'm still in the early stages of my back, but yeah, not a ton of fun to be had there generally. 

Welcome to the site!

Welcome...pull up a chair and stay a while. 🙂

Different people have different sensitive spots. I almost fell asleep while I was getting my back done ... above the love handles. My right leg was mostly a piece of cake, my left leg is not going as easily. As my artist says, just because it hurts isn't a good reason to not get a tattoo.

"I almost fell asleep while I was getting my back done"

I feel I should contribute (sorry about that) - 

I didn't (fall asleep) - I didn't like it in an "are we done for the day" kind of way.... and yes that's for most of it (although it's only 50% obvs)

(my back not yours to be clear)

Also my lower ribs and rear thingy wotsit were ridiculous and I'm not doing that again- sorry no good with medical terms - the flesh over the liver thingy and that - 

Cheers!

Happy Christmas!

Also - it really isn't a good reason not to get a tattoo - the experience is where it lives.

My wife actually did fall asleep during a little 1.5 hour back (shoulder blade) session. Convention setting with a bunch of noisy tvs, sound systems and machines blaring away. The resulting white noise put her out!

The only reason I stayed away is I was afraid I'd move if I woke up and ruin a line.

Wow.  That's impressive haha.  I had to do my back tattoo in 2 sessions and it probably only was around an hour and a half each time 😂

Nice tatt! 

I haven't been tattooed on my hip, but only my front thigh, back/shoulder blade & close to spine, and my arm. 

The most painful I have experienced was in my elbow ditch area on the side. 

As well as on my shoulder close to the armpit area.

Generally all tattooing hurts the same for me --- even though I mentioned a most painful area, for all areas more or less hurt equally. That can be a pro and a con!!! 

Happy tattooing!

Wow - how did she manage to fall asleep! I have tried to fall asleep but the sensation of being tattooed is too jarring for me to be able to do so. Best I can do lay there feeling sleepy without being able to fall asleep.
