Places Where It Is Least Painful To Get A Tattoo
May 18, 2008
Very often people who are considering getting a tattoo want to know which part of the body hurts the most to get a tattoo and which part hurts the least. Seems like a perfectly normal question but one that is unfortunately difficult to answer because every person is different and so is their pain threshold.
Most agree that the arm is the absolute easiest place to get a tattoo. Basically places that contain the most muscle will absorb the needle better and as a result will be the places which will hurt the least. The places that hurt more than usual are areas of either high nerve concentration, erogenous zones like inner thigh or areas right over bone like the ankle.
Some areas which hurt a lot such as the ribcage are usually chosen by those who have a lot more experience in getting tattoos, if it is your first tattoo and you are rather uncomfortable with the prospect of having to bear pain, you can stick with getting tattoos on fleshier locations such as your arm or your leg. When getting tattoos, you should try your best not to concentrate on where tattoos will hurt the most but how great your artwork will look on you when it is finished.
Where a tattoo will hurt the least is relative to several factors but the less sensitive the skin is, the less a tattoo should hurt. When most people try to describe to another person what getting a tattoo feels like they say it is more irritating than anything else because of the consistent pin pricks. Those experienced in the tattoo industry will say that the more exposed the area of the body is to outside elements, the tougher the skin is and therefore the tattoo will hurt less in those areas.
Sometimes the amount of pain that you will experience while getting your tattoo will depend on the artist. Some are heavy handed which will make the pain more intense but others are so graceful when giving a tattoo that you walk away thinking you went for a walk in the park.
Some people might find one experience hurtful but others might just find it only mildly irritating. The amount of pain experienced will also largely depend on individual pain tolerance levels and some people are more likely to be sensitive to pain than other people.
Some people have described the pain of getting a tattoo as something somewhat like getting a bad case of sunburn. The pain may not be that long-lasting but the way you bear pain and your stamina will have a lot to do with it.
If you are having a bad mental day then it is best to hold off because if you are distracted or aggravated it is likely going to really tick you off once the tattoo gets started. If you are really concerned with pain but want to get a tattoo then ask your artist which places hurt the least when getting a tat. Maybe you will decide to start off somewhere else and get a small one to test it out.
