Tattoo Pain: On Which Body Parts Do Tattoos Hurt The Most?
Our skin is particularly sensitive on certain body parts. But where exactly are tattoos the most painful? These places hurt the most
Where Do Tattoos Hurt the Least?
In principle, you can say that tattoos hurt less in places where there is more fat. You probably know this too when you bump yourself. If you hit a bone like the shinbone or the elbow joint directly, it hurts a lot. So what are the places that are well padded so that it doesn't hurt so much? First of all, there are:
- Thigh (7)
- Buttocks (5)
- Forearm (4) -> except on the inside of the forearm, where the thinner skin is more sensitive to pain than on the outside and
- The arm (3), here also the inside is more sensitive than the outside.
Then there are places that cannot be classified generally:
- Legs (6), some find it not painful at all, others find it very unpleasant
- Shoulders (2), the shoulder is of course a very large area: towards the top of the arm, it is bearable for many, whereas towards the chest and the back, it is still very painful for some people
- Neck and nape of the neck (1): this will surprise many people, but apart from around the larynx and directly on the vertebrae of the nape of the neck, the neck and nape of the neck are fairly insensitive to pain!
And what are the places that are best left untouched? Especially for beginners?
