I have high tolerance and that shit was the worst. Coming from someone covered in tattoos.

It’s a piece of cake 🍰 and I’m a little btch when it comes to anything that hurts !!! 🤞

It was not very painful. 5/10 max

My sister was about to tap out on her and it was the second session for the design. She said the shading was a lot more uncomfortable for her. FYI I don’t plan on getting a tattoo on my ribs anytime in the future.

I have a very low pain tolerance and it hurt really bad. I didn’t cry but I was super tense and was clenching my friends hand really tight. My first tattoo was behind my ear which didn’t hurt at all so when I got the rib one it kinda shocked me but I got through it.

From my experience, I would say 50%. It all depends of your tolerance of pain and the design of the tattoo.

I have two rib tattoos and they did not hurt as much as my thigh tattoo did. The thing with my rib tattoos that bugged me was feeling the vibration threw out my chest and even down towards my hips more than the actual pain from getting the tattoo. Most artists are good for giving you breaks as you need them as well, so if you really want one go for it! 👍🏻😀

It did hurt but not as bad as getting my wrist tattooed, but the guy who did my rib cage tattoo said his own hurt so bad that he couldn’t stop squirming around so I guess it just depends

My boyfriend got his done and he said it was the worst pain he’s ever been through. Watching him get it done he was tense every time the needle went near his skin. Rib tattoos are one of the most painful and one of the easiest ones to mess up. But if all of that doesn’t scare you go for it. It’s a few hours of pain to have artwork on you forever. I’m planning my rib piece 😂

This is my side piece. I have several and all are very large. This one was my 2nd most painful, the first being the back of my leg.
