Most painful spot to get tattooed

[Baby J 7]

Worst pain was around the nipples, and between the major bones on the head. Knees, elbows, sternum, and between the knuckles by all means hurt but wasn't anything in comparison to between the bones on the head. That shit hurt.. oh and the belly button wasn't a very fun day either haha

Shins and my kneecap were super easy for me, but lower back/ass/right where the thigh meets the ass were all F***ing horrible. Who knew the ass would be so bad? Deep, searing pain that lasted for days. I'm so glad my backpiece is done.

I'd also like to nominate "any body part tattooed by Chris Trevino."

Chris just tattooed my last decent sized spot I had left, on my ass. Good times!

Has anyone tattooed straight over the nipple? Mine are a bit of a wierd colour (tmi I know) so where I'm going to get wind bars I'm thinking of blacking them out. I might do it a tiny bit every session though if it's sore.

There's an instagram account called "tattoo the bloody nipple"..... I think you get the idea.

I would imagine the skull is the worst, but I've heard parts of the butt can be awful. 

For me, elbow ditch was just awful. In hindsight, I don't know what I was thinking going into it. The swelling was crazy. Armpit sucked too for sure!

I had my inner thigh done this week. Didn't feel a thing. Butt still ranks up at the top for pain.

So far my armpit was the most painful, and this might sound crazy but my thigh would be a close second. That thing hurt like a bitch. I was pretty surprised I was in so much pain, considering I have a sleeve and the only part that really bothered me was my armpit.

Five minutes into my shin, I was questioning my life choices. The next four hours were brutal.

I'm not heavily tattooed, halfsleeve on lower arm, upper arm piece and backpiece, but so far the elbow has been the worst. And I also felt like the outside of my lower arm hurt more than the inside, which is the complete opposite of what most people say. So I guess I'm wierd like that 😛

Most painful spot for me was the elbow.

Stomach has definitely been the most testing for me so far. Had it tattooed three times and each one was just misery, thankfully it's full now though!

I also had a four and a half hour session on my inner bicep and by the last half an hour or so I was just a puddle of misery and sweat on the bench.

Will be getting my back (and ass) lined in two days though, so we'll see where that lands on the scale!

For me the back, except for the love handles, wasn't bad at all. At one point I almost fell asleep. The stomach though ieeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm not looking forward to the ass either.

my knees and elbows were not bad,my left butt cheek hurt a lot,but my worst has been my inner thighs and my inner bicep. 

[Gingerninja 2,289]

Interestingly, my inner thighs haven't bothered me yet but there is a little more room to go. *fingers crossed for this weekend* @Dan

1. top of spine/back certain spots on my back hurt more than others but that boney bit where the neck sits onto the spine hurt a lot like an electric shock rather than a 

2 pubic area, the bottom of my belly where my pubes are stung like a hot knife

3 ribs, mostly ok apart from the bottom "floating rib" ouch.

4 chest, i didn't mind the sternum but round my nipples "didn't alf pinch mind"

5. feet also a bitch to heal

6. wrist....one little spot pinched like no tomorrow

7 hipbone/love handles

8 throat

9 sides of knee

10 hands/fingers

11 claves/shins

12 side of neck

13 sleves (some spots hurt more than others.

I'm not heavily tattooed. And none of mine have been super bad. But over my hip bone was pretty weird. Alternated between very tickly and that unpleasant bone-shakey thing.

The two most painful areas I have experienced was the Achilles tendon and the collar bone, I was expecting my kneecaps to hurt but I giggled all the way through.
