Tattoo PAIN ??

I'm going to have another tattoo, and I know within 15 minutes of tattooing I will be thinking I can't handle the pain. But sometimes I speak to people and they say they enjoy it.

Is this true or am i a massive wimp?

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Take a mate along. I chatted through two of mine and barely felt a thing. It also helps if you don't get it over a bone.

It doesn't hurt having it done but I certainly couldn't say I enjoy it. Afterwards though when its just new and bruised and swollen, that is sore and extremely uncomfortable. Then when the scab starts coming away, well, the itchiness is almost unbarable! Its maddening. Lol

It does hurt but i found it hurt far less than i expected. Hubby found it hurt more than he expected !

Iv only had 3 small ones though. I do find them sore and bruised for a while after and it was hard to get comfortable in bed. Worth it though

I think some people just say they enjoy the pain because they don't want to admit it hurt, some folks are odd like that

Of course they hurt.

Where you get it done and how long you sit there for will greatly effect your body's reaction to it.

Up to around three hours I'm totally fine with it.

Over three hours and when it goes over boney parts I lose concentration and it really starts to hurt.

It all depends on where on your body you're having it done.

It's going to be more painful in areas where there is a higher density of nerve endings and tends to be less painful the more fleshy the part of the body is.

I've lost count how many I've got but they range from face to leg..

But the pain has always been bearable, everyone is different.

I've seen guys 3 times my size pass out with tattoos in the same place i have them.

You get used to it haha.

Or maybe I'm just weird

I hate it. I hate every moment of it.

I discovered something worse than getting tattooed on my last one. That is getting tattooed while on your period. Fuck me, that was horrendous. That was more painful than recovering from the car accident where I drove my convertible into a telegraph pole at 90mph.

Some are worse than others, but I think arms and legs etc are.. painless.

But some people say they hurt.

It was up and onto my shoulder which had me wanting to tap out!

The crease of the elbow is pretty bad too.

I blacked out on my first sitting on my arm at 18...the effects of no food or drinks

The dragon took 7 1/2 hours but in 3 sessions- I challenge you to find a good inker who doesn't need a break or two.

Celtic armband hurt the most, great tattooist but blimey the inner bicep is tender on third time around!

Oh my god yes. I had my eyebrows tattoo'd different to a regular tattoo gun but Jesus it's the worst or so I thought, had microblading, fuck I thought I was gonna faint from the pain. Serrated edges dipped in ink and dragged across your eyebrows!

Regular tattoos, some hurt a lot, others not so much, after a couple of hours you're just willing it to be done. My collar bone hurt quite a bit.

Some is uncomfortable, depends on the area. Learn to relax by using yr breathing - yoga breathing online - will help no end.

I often take a book. Five hours is the most I've had in one sitting xx

You're a massive wimp

I generally start to get a bit twitchy after a couple of hours. That's pretty much my limit. For now.

It's not the pain of the tattoo that bothers me, yes they tingle but it's not pain as such. Helps that I get on great with my tattooist and we usually end up on Fab playing 'would you'?

However, the positioning of whichever body part I'm getting done does tend to hurt. Having my sleeve done my arm ends up in all sorts of weird positions and that starts to get crampy and painful.

I don't enjoy the pain but can handle it knowing I will love the finished product.

I recently had my elbow done thinking it would be the worst pain ever but wasn't actually too bad inner elbow was a bitch tho.

Literally everyone is different.

Tattoo on my inner bicep absolutely killed... Someone getting tattooed at the same time had her whole armpit tattooed, and she said it didn't hurt.

Two sleeves on my arms, lower half - no pain at all, yet my sister has a few small ones and can't stand the pain.

Inner bicep and calf tattoos hurt most for me haha

Pain is relevant to each person, what may be agony for one is nothing to another. As such asking others does it hurt will just result in lots of answers.

To me it feels like an annoying cat pawing your arm. Not pain full, just annoying.
