When getting a tattoo one of the main concerns is the pain as it would be useless to lie saying that tattoos do not hurt, because in fact if they do, regardless of location, but of course there are locations and areas for tattoos which are much more painful, so know and tell a little more about these issues can never come amiss.

We must clarify that there are feelings that can not be measured, like love or pain, and it is impossible to compare between people and say “It hurts me more than you” is impossible to know, but what is known is that different people have different tolerances to pain, and when a tattoo, it can be seen visibly. Thus, many people say that the tattooing process was not as painful as they thought.

The pain of tattooing depends mainly on the area of ​​the body, as there are areas that are far more sensitive than where there are more loose skin or thinner (the inside of the arms and legs, underarms, forearms, neck) and also the areas that are directly on the bone or close to them (the upper, head, face, wrists, ribs, knees, hands).

If you are looking to feel the least pain possible we tattoos in areas with thicker skin as possible (the back, the soles of the feet) and where there is more muscle (chest, thighs, buttocks, stomach).

The tattoo artist also makes much of whether and must have verifiable experience, and that the strokes should be given a firm and slender, in addition to its job well and quickly to avoid exposure to unnecessary pain during time. The needles used also influence the pain of tattooing, and not always the needles to give color and padding are the most painful.
