Painful Places To Get Tattooed

                                

It's a well known fact that getting a tattoo hurts. For the most part, all of these places listed below can be extremely painful and you should definitely be aware of that before you go in to get these areas inked. A lot of the pain comes from a lack of cushion of muscle or fat within these areas, therefore causing the needles to consistently go over thin layers of skin and bone repeatedly. When it’s just skin and bones, you know it’s going to hurt. 

    The inner arm is going to really hurt. The thinness of the skin is again the culprit, and the nerves will react instantly to any tattoo needle. While some areas just throb and hurt, this feels more like a scratching burn. The hands, fingers and knuckles especially, are extremely boney and filled with ligaments. Also, because the skin on your hands is so thin, it’s going to be extremely painful. The skin over rib area is so thin with a highly sensitive area and the bones are spread out leaving areas of grooves and direct bone for the needles to graze over. You’re definitely going to need breaks during rib sessions. The elbow is not only going to hurt, but to get the ink packed in properly you’re going to be sitting at an awkward angle with your arm bending every which way. The feet are pretty manageable at first, but as the tattoo session goes on, it’s going to really start to hurt. The very tops of the feet will be the absolute worse. Needles vibrating and stabbing you in the head repeatedly is not going to be a very enjoyable experience. Though the skull is said to not be as painful as many may believe, it still is going to be an uncomfortable session.

It’s only natural to feel pain during a tattoo session, but some places are more painful than others. Pain is our body’s way of protecting us from imminent harm. Depending on your  threshold level, you may have to reconsider the tattoo placement especially if you have a low pain tolerance. If you are considering getting a tattoo on any of the locations stated above, you better be prepared to deal with pain.
