This is not really an angry rant but more of an informative rant.
I have heard so many people ask question about "where does it hurt getting tattooed?", even in a lot of forums have these questions.
First off pain is subjective to whoever is being tattooed. This being said there are areas on the body on everyone that is more tender than others. Ribs, upper inner arm, lower inner arm, center of the back, feet, neck, all are sensitive areas of your body because they have a lot of nerve endings. that's generally really sensitive areas but I have friends who have inner arm tattoos and said it hurt so bad, mine hurt but not all that much.I have a general rule when it comes to being asked if it hurt, "not enough for me not to get the other side done." Ive heard a huge burly dude say i was nuts for getting an inner arm tattoo and he would never get one although most of his body was covered in tattoos. If you don't get the point by now that it really depends on the person than keep asking away. For a little fun fact: the trauma your skin goes through while getting tattooed in equivalent to the skin trauma a 3rd degree burn. It may not feel like getting burned but that's the trauma your putting your body through. Its not going to NOT hurt. If you really have to ask perhaps you should sit on it for a little while longer.
That,s all I have to say, thanks for reading
