The 10 Most Painful Places to Get a Tattoo
Before you start thinking about that tattoo, you might want to consider the places that it will hurt the most to get one.
According to Mashable, there's a tattoo artist in Cincinnati named Andy Eschenbach who works at a place called the Flying Tiger, and he just listed the body parts where clients complain about the most pain.
Here are the 10 spots where it's most painful to get a tattoo, from top to bottom:
- Head.
- Face.
- Sternum.
- Hand (especially your palm).
- Elbow (although a surprising number of people also DON'T feel much pain there).
- Ribcage and stomach.
- Butt cheeks.
- Inner thigh and knee.
- Ankle.
- Foot.
That doesn't leave much. So the places where people feel the least pain are the arms, lower legs, and shoulders.
