Do tattoos really hurt?

Question

Upper outter arm

Answer

I have a half sleeve and honestly it was one of my least painful tattoos. Artists don’t need to be heavy handed it’s unnecessary pain. 
Areas like top of the foot and rib cage hurt like a bitch and I wouldn’t do it again. But arms and ankles no prob! lol 
It hurts for a few hours and you have it for life. Worth it 🤷‍♀️

Answer

It’s painful, but tolerable. It sucks, it’s not fun at the moment, but you won’t cry 🤷‍♀️

Answer

It feels like a cat scratch and a sun burn at the same time lol

Answer

Clavicle hurts like a motherrrrr!!! I have 10 and one is on my forearm coming up from my wrist and i don't think it didn't really hurt at all.

Answer

Depends on the artist and where on your body you get it. Lower back: eh, sometimes he hit a nerve and my butt cheeks tensed up lol, shoulder blades: no pain, upper middle back: only hurt a little right on my spine, calf: burned quite a bit, that one was most like a sunburn, shoulder/collar bone/trap: most painful on my collar bone and near my neck and was the only one that hurt afterwards, my muscle was sore and it felt like my shoulder was bruised. But nothing I wouldn’t do again, obviously lol. 6 and planning for more.

Answer

I have 8 tattoos and they didn’t hurt really the one on my left ribs did though just depends on where you want it at.

Answer

I have a side piece, chest piece, half sleeve, all my fingers, ribs, legs, and neck tattooed and honestly the most painful one I’ve ever gotten is about an inch big and on my outer wrist. 😅 It honestly depends on your pain tolerance and state of mind in my opinion. Outer arm doesn’t hurt at all in my opinion, but inside upper arm stings quite a bit.

Answer

Depends on your pain tolerance, where you’re getting the tattoo, the skill of the artist, etc. I have half a sleeve on my arm, the last one I got was like two months ago on the inner side of my upper arm. My tattoo guy told me it probably was going to be very painful as that spot is extremely sensitive for girls, but it didn’t bother me at all. They all just feel like a light cat scratch on my skin. The only time I’d say it “hurts” (and I’d probably go more so with the word unpleasant) is when they are shading over a bone or muscle and it kind of makes everything vibrate. But it’s really not bad at all.

Answer

depends on the location, shading and your pain tolerance. my foot hurt the most, but i also have a spine tattoo that didn’t bother me whatsoever. best way to describe it is like wet fire, or like a cat scratch on sunburn like someone else said !

Answer

Depends on where you get it! Sitting for 7 hours straight getting my thigh tattooed? Breeze in the park and watched several movies. Getting the side of my wrist tattooed by the bone? Wanted to kick my tattoo artist in the mouth after 1.5 hours, that part hurt like a bitch. Rest of my arm? Almost fell asleep while getting it tattooed
