I’ve been Spreading ink for about 17 yrs, total and ten of it professionally. In me experience, it also has a lot to do with how your artist has his machine set up. Short throw=quicker penetration less time for pain receptors to trigger between punctures. also fairer skin ppl tend to have a harder go of it than people with darker/tougher skin. And too, how heavy your artist’ hand is makes a hell of a lot of difference

I have around 50 tattoos, full arm sleeves, some on legs and back, elbows, hand and fingers, the only spot that hurt was the inner part of my arm, opposite the elbow.

I have 3 tattoos and love every one of them. One I drew up myself of 3 roses (one red rose in the middle of 2 light blue roses) with a banner with my 3 kids names under each rose…. that ones on my lower back (it hurt like hell….. 4 1/2 hours of pain) and the other 2 are one baby fairy on my left shoulder & and a heart with rose thorns all around it. and if I was asked wich of the 3 hurt the most I would have to say the one on my lower back…. LOTS AND LOTS of color and shadding and its about 4inch tall and goes from one side to the other… it got real bad every time the guy was on the spine and on the soft parts of my sides. But like I said I would never go back on what I have had done… I love my tatts and show them off as much as I can!!!

Interesting fact is that if you have a pulled muscle or sprained joint somewhere on your body (except the body part where you are getting a tattoo) the pain of getting a tattoo is rather mild. However under NO SURCUMSTANCES should you get a tattoo on a pulled muscle or sprained joint itself believe me it will fell like hell.

I got my first in the usual old traditional way…joined the Army and went to the local parlor like many before me. It was on my right shoulder so it was a nice “meaty” spot. Wasn’t too bad for the most part until the tip of the Griffin’s wings hit the bone just at the joint area. So yea I would say closer to bone the worse it was.

I am nineteen and already have four tattoos. They do not hurt as bad as everyone says they do. To me they feel incredibly awesome. I have a big one on my left shoulder blade, one on the back of my neck, one on my wrist and a deerskull on the outside of my left ankle. The one I got on my shoulderblade actually hurt a fair amount, of course that was because of past injuries to the left side of my body and for having to sit there for two and a half hours straight. Nevertheless, I love all of my tattoos and am getting one on each side of my pelvic area as well as one on my left ribs.

I had my first tattoo at the grand old age of forty six and boy was it good.I had a scorpion on my pubic mound and the pain did not last too long. It did help that the guy who did it was a dude,it also helped having wall pictures to look at when it did hurt .I cant wait for the next one.Its going to be a tiger on my very lower back.Well low down,something for the husband to look at.

Make sure its what you want first your still pretty young.
For the pain i would suggest using numbing gel if you can, why arn`t you?
have plently of sleep the day before and as long as you don`t feel tired or unwell you should be fine, it will hurt but after around ten minutes your body tends to get used to it, kind of feels like scratching.
Remember think twice before you have one not because of the pain but having something with you for the rest of your life you don`t like is not good.
Good luck
