Cinnamon Girl

I got my first tattoo just before my 68th birthday, so at 29 you’re not late to the party.  😎

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! 

"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.

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.

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 😁
 

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. 🙂
