tattoo
 

for those of you who have tattoos, what part of the body was most painful, I dont want to know about rude bits. Thinking about getting another tat on the top of my foot. Have heard that it is quite painful there. I have fat feet so cant see that it will be that bad.

Re: tattoo
 

:lol:

I think anywhere where there's not much between the skin and the bone will be painful... you watch Miami Ink and the stuff some people go through to get their stuff done, yowch!

Re: tattoo
 

I reckon having one on your ******** might hurt the most :)

Re: tattoo
 

Top of foot isnt as painful as the tummy apparently, more nerve endings in the tummy area.

Dont forget to show us pics when you have it done.

ribs

Re: tattoo
 

I'm told the spine hurts...haven't got any myself though.

Re: tattoo
 

Spin doesnt hurt as much as you might think.

Re: tattoo
 

mine on the base of my spine really hurt compared to the one on my neck and shoulder which I didn't really feel them.

It depends on how high your pain threshold is (and you have had children, so must be high) ;)

The closer the bone is to the skin the more it will hurt, I think your foot would be ok, if you stay away from your ankle

Re: tattoo
 

My foot wasnt too bad but I did keep having twitches while being inked and kept kicking Ian, my tattooer.

Back, spine, shoulder blade tattoo was fine, but got painful near the ribs.

Thigh, behind ears, back of neck and hip didnt hurt.

Forearm was fine but sore at the wrist and elbow.

Re: tattoo
 

I have base of back, across spine, on the inside of my wrist across tendons and one on the right hand side of my stomach. The sorest was by FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR my belly! I got cramp in my foot because of the pain!! The others were stingy but sufferable.

Re: tattoo
 

dont think they will give me gas and air for tat though ;)

Re: tattoo
 

My one that goes along the top of my foot was fine for the first hour (was more painful than my wrist by a fair bit though). As they get closer to the ankle it gets more painful but it's still bearable. Go for it, you can always ask them to stop and go back in a few days if it gets too bad :)

Re: tattoo
 

But nobody can see tattoos on the top of your foot, so why bother?

Re: tattoo
 

Mines visible a lot as I tend to wear flip flops, pumps or heels.

Re: tattoo
 

Bit of a hijack, but does anyone know where I can get some decent sleeve designs from, or some cool pics of sleeves?

Re: tattoo
 

But you don't get tattoos for other people you get them for yourself. Most of my tattoos aren't visible most of the time

Re: tattoo
 

:lol: I take it you don't have any tattoos then, Ed!? Otherwise it would be across the middle of your forehead for maximum exposure! ;):p

LOLZ:lol:

Nope no ink. But I like gawking at other peoples':D

Re: tattoo
 

This didn't hurt much, in fact it was quite a buzz (pun not intended)

Nor did this... much

But my ex-girlfriend reckons this stung a bit...

Since then she's had some more added, like a full sleeve on the right arm and some gaps filled in on her sides and back. After it was all finished she said it gets to a point where the needles just tingle a bit and she's so relaxed she can fall asleep during long sessions

Re: tattoo
 

Just to add, on top of the foot the ink does tend to wear quicker then anywhere else, it fades quicker and you might need to re-do in a few years time.

Re: tattoo
 

:eek: Wow - Think she over did it on the face tattoo though! :wink:

Re: tattoo
 

Hip bone hurt like hell while the chest, shoulder and upper arm were all fine.

Re: tattoo
 

think she missed a bit lozzo.

Re: tattoo
 

If you want to be well hard, have the tattoo done on the underside of the foot.

Only well hard people have it done there, cause its so painful, if you can suffer the torture of one foot, you get the other one done for free...if you dare!

Well you do in our studios up ere!

Re: tattoo
 

KK can't bear anyone going anywhere near the soles of her feet far less go near them with a needle ;)

Re: tattoo
 

bottom of the foot like DB said is painful, as is your ribs, also on your elbow, i seen an 18stone brick outhouse cry like a little girl gettin a rose tatoo'ed on his elbow

my little sis got one on top of her foot she said it was fine, but then according to your avatar, you are a southern poof;)

Re: tattoo
 

That back piece is stunning.
That is what I am aiming for. Got cherry blossoms from my left shoulder to my right buttock, going to get a koi from my ribs onto my back.

Re: tattoo
 

This is what it looked like at first, and a better shot of the backpiece proper.

I do like black and grey with a splash of colour.

Re: tattoo
 

my wee sis had one on her foot and one on her ribs a week later and said the foot was a breeze compared with the ribs, i didn't listen and had a rib piece done not long after. Outline wasn't too bad, but after a short break the shading (normally much easier) was excruciating!

Re: tattoo
 

My brothers back piece. He said it only hurt on the back of his neck.

Re: tattoo
 

Give it a few years and those tats will have slipped down to your @rse. You'll probably have room for them on there too.

Re: tattoo
 

mine didn't hurt at all just to the left of my belly down a bit ! nice and soft

Re: tattoo
 

Just seen this thread...

Not sure how I missed it to be honest.

I've had my back, chest, ribs and arms done with no real pain.

My armpit hurt like hell though and have had both the front and back of my elbow done earlier today.

AVOID the elbow!!!!

I've never known pain like it :(

End product was worth it though :)

Re: tattoo
 

I really want another one!!
