    Some places are downright painful (soft tissue near my armpit hurt like a bitch!) But mostly, it's just really aggravating...like scratching an open wound for hours on end :p

    yes, this is where I've seen a lot of wincing.

    That's exactly how it was with me (calf and inner forearm). I wanted to "tap out" a couple of times but my machismo would not allow it :p.

    I've got 2 Tats

    One on my arm and one on the middle of my upper back

    The back one was uncomfortable for awhile, weird positioning in the chair didn't help either

    They hurt no matter what....anyone who says they dont hurt is lying !


    :D

    There's a sign where i get tattooed that i always found amusing. It was above the entrance to the guy's room. It said, "Fuck yes it hurts!" Hope that helps :D It depends where you get tattoed. My back & shoulder didn't hurt too bad. My fiance got her foot tattoed and she said it hurt like hell but her back wasn't too bad.

    YES it hurts. but u get used to it and the stickman shouldnt take that long if its a good artist. it hurts but you'll be addicted after! :D
    p.s long time no see....:)

    Mine never hurt, but I think I chose good locations (two on my back and one on my chest), but like mentioned above... you will want another within a day. Haven't met one person that didn't get the itch to instantly get another.

    I have two ankle bands. I described the pain like cutting yourself shaving and running water directly in the cut. A bad stinging sensation. :eek:


    The one on the back of my neck tickled. Not kidding, no hurt, just a funny little tickle.

    Wish they could all be like that. :rolleyes:

    I've heard that the nearer the bonier parts the more it hurts, and the fleshy parts hurt less....not sure if that's crap. I've got one on the inside of both forearms and one on the top of my left arm, so they were quite fleshy. Don't know what to go for next though, can't really do one on the top of my right arm cos I got a big birthmark there and the tattooist said its not a good idea to tattoo over birthmarks or even freckles cos they bleed alot. Anyone know if that's true?
