Roman says tattoos on your wrist or forearm tend to be pretty easy places to start with, but a pinch test yes, literally pinching yourself with your nails is a good indicator of which areas on your own body might be more sensitive than others. Although everyone experiences pain differently, you can expect for the tattoo pain to be worse on your ribs, feet, ankles, neck, backs of your knees, or insides of your elbows. Really, anywhere that has a high level of nerve endings and not a lot of fat.
So if you were planning on getting a tattoo in one—or all—of those areas, brace yourself. Or pop a few Tylenol not ibuprofen, aspirin, or even a quick shot of tequila, since they all thin your blood and can make the process dangerous. Gonna say it again in case you missed it: alcohol. Roman says slamming a few shots right before getting your tattoo not only thins your blood, which can make you bleed more during your tattoo which is risky , but excess blood can then thin the ink and mess with your final result.
Remember how I said a tattoo can feel like a sunburn? Yeah, the last thing you want to tattoo is sunburned or dry, peeling skin. How do I put this nicely? A post shared by Brittany humblebeetattoo. Check that the place looks clean, that it has good artwork on the walls, and that you get good vibes from the staff, then schedule a consultation with the artist to talk about pricing and any questions you might have.
Male : The area around the neck feels unbearably painful, especially on the front, against the neck bone. Because of the multiple nerve endings on both head and face, both women and men can experience piercing pain when making their tattoos. For men, entire face hurts at the level 7. For women, the lower facial area is more painful, but overall the pain experienced is at level 6.
Female : The pain on the head can be rated as severe, while the area surrounding the mouth and cheekbones can be rated as extremely severe. The back of the head can also be considered quite painful. Male : The entire head and face may be rated as extremely severe. Additionally, the same feeling is on the back of the head, with fewer nerve endings, and thus pain in the lower area.
Ears may not be the most popular area for making a tattoo, but for those who decide to take this brave step, tattooing the ears can be considered quite painful. Both experience the pain at level 7. Male : The back of the ears and lower part of the ears feels severe, while the front can cause extremely severe pain. Lips have a lot of loose skin, and nerve ends in the process, which can result in extreme pain especially for those with thinner lips.
In the case of the rough needle, it can even result in bleeding and lip sores. Both experience the lip pain at level 8. Females : The area around the mouth and lips is rated to cause an extremely severe painful sensation.
Male : Similarly with the female lips, male lips can be painful to tattoo, rated as extremely severe. Similarly to the feet, hands and fingers can be quite popular to tattoo, especially in recent years. However, it can cause severe pain because of the thin layer of skin that surrounds the fingers.
You can also expect painful spasms and swelling in the area. Both experience the pain at level 8. Female : The inner palm can cause intense pain that intensifies around the wrists. The outer finger and hand layer can result in extremely severe pain. Male : The inner layer except palms will cause little to moderate pain, but the outer layer of the hand and fingers are more painful to tattoo.
The area around the rib cage is extremely painful, if not more than any other area. The tighter the skin around the stomach, the less painful it is. The pain males experience is rated at 6, while the pain women are feeling is rated at 8. Female : The lower stomach is more painful for women, as well as the area about abdominal muscles.
The rest of the stomach feels less severely painful. Back is less painful than the area around the spine, it can even be rated as mild or moderate pain, depending on the size of your tattoo, biological sex, and other factors.
Males experience the pain at level 7. The pain for women is significantly lower for women, at level 5. Female : The pain across both the upper and lower back feels mild and moderate in some areas for women. Male : Fewer nerve-endings make the pain more moderate, although in some areas pain may be rated as severe.
Genuinely, men experience more pain in the back than women. Generally, wrist tattoos are just plain old average on the pain scale. However, when it comes to sleeves and inking around the sides of the wrist things can start feeling pretty brutal. Back: One of the least painful places depending on where you ink at. However, in another regard, these can be major annoyances. You know how getting a professional back massage feels so good?
Now imagine, someone running a sharp needle all over it. Your back is already sensitive to begin with. Of course, this excludes ultra-sensitive areas like the spine for instance. You can compare them to calf tattoos. As you move closer and closer towards the inner thighs the pain will greatly increase. This is especially true and far more noticeable as you work your way up to the groin area.
Those areas are downright painful. Foot: Very painful. Ribs: Another high pain area. Interestingly enough, inking the spaces in-between each rib bone feels like a mixture of being tickled, burned and poked with a sharp needle. Chest: Generally average until you move towards the collarbone and sternum. You can compare it to the elbow and knees. Another part of the chest to consider is the nipple area. Inner Elbow: Without a doubt, one of the most painful spots on the body. Worse than the already excruciating outer elbow tattoo.
Collarbone: Very painful. Forearm and front arm: Considerably average and comfortable to tattoo without any concern. Hand tattoos are as just difficult to get artists to do as they are to have inked while sitting in the chair. The same is true for the fingers as well. Based on the bone-y location you can still expect a lot of pain regardless of your tolerance. Head: Extremely painful and made even worse by the fact that you can hear the entire process happening just inches away from your ear.
Inner Bicep: Average until you move up towards the armpit. Those areas include "the ribs, feet, elbow ditch, and armpit area," explains Lavriv. Apparently, ribs are especially difficult for artists and clients.
That being said, if you really want your ribs tattooed, you should go for it — just be prepared for an arduous session with your artist. It's also important to keep in mind that areas of the body where the skin is close to the bone experience another sensation of pain on top of the getting-a-tattoo discomfort — a sort of "tapping on the bone" feeling, which many people don't like.
This includes the ankles, ribs, wrists, and the tops of the feet. Other super sensitive areas, such as your fingertips and forehead will also likely hurt to tattoo because those places are where your most pain-sensitive neurons are, according to this study published in the Annals of Neurology medical journal. With that said, Zeichner notes, "For every rule, there is an exception to the rule, and detailed tattoos may be uncomfortable even on fatty areas like the back or the belly. Most tattoo shops have pricing minimums and usually base the cost on either a certain size, often a palm-size tattoo, or a certain length of time, like an hour.
Artists often set time limits to avoid added discomfort. Initial pain, post-ink, typically lasts a few hours, and there may be slight bruising for a few days, says Zeichner.
