Are These the Most Painful Places to Get Tattooed?
Painful? Worth it!
Like pain? We got you, fam.
I like to think I have a high tolerance for pain. Piercings? No prob! Blood getting drawn? Bring it on! My first tattoo was a giant chef’s knife on my calf and it was nothing. Forearms? What needle?! But then I started getting ink all over. And there are certain spots that took me five sessions because I couldn’t stand more than an hour on the table.
So if you are n00b and thinking about your first piece, bare in mind that some spots have more fat, more nerves and/or thin skin. So be prepared to cry like a toddler, tough guys and gals.
