Answer 1

Generally that is not a bad spot as far as pain goes. The pain is an irritating pain like a cat scratch. Its not that bad at all.

Answer 2

I just had a tattoo last week on my outer upper arm and it wasn't so bad. The outlining hurts more than when they fill in the colors, kind of like a sharp knife cutting into your skin. I had to grit my teeth a few times so I wouldn't say "ouch". The fill in feels more like you're being scraped with sandpaper.

I had my nose pierced at the same place, the same night, and that hurt a hell of a lot worse, even though THAT was over in less than a minute and the tattoo took about 45 minutes. I yelped out loud and had tears in my eyes.

Both tattoo and piercing look fantastic, btw.

Make sure you follow your tattoo artist's instructions for aftercare, and make sure you select a GOOD artist.

Answer 3

It's not that bad, its more uncomfortable than anything. I have 12 tattoos, and the Celtic knotwork i have on my forearm was one of the least painful. But you know what they say, if it didn't hurt everyone would have one. Like somebody said earlier, suck it up. It's worth it once its done.

Answer 4

It doesn't really hurt, feels like a bee sting at first then it just goes numb, go to a good artist.

Answer 5

It will hurt but it sounds like you've been through worse. I have like 12 of them so it can't hurt too bad.

Answer 6

it's more of an annoying feeling rather than pain...suck it up it will be worth it

Answer 7

It is painful.

But I think you will live to tell your grandchildren! ;-)
