It is tough to gauge the psychology behind getting a body inked. The inclination towards emblazoning the body with a weird symbol, text, or an image is very dissimilar among people. However, what is common between all tattoo enthusiasts is the eagerness to know how painful it is to get inked. The longing is more when the person is getting his or her first tattoo. But the universal truth is all tattoos are painful no matter how strong the pain tolerance is of the person being tattooed.
As the body is structured of tissues, nerves, muscles, fats, and bones, getting a needle pierced through any part is painful. But getting a tattoo on certain body parts is more painful than others. This tattoo pain chart for female will help you identify the most painful body parts for getting inked.
Head
The structure of the human head is composed of twenty-two separate bones, thus making it the hardest part of the body. So piercing something as hard as the head with a needle can obviously be painful. Getting a tattoo on the head is like drilling the skull. Many scream like a child and also spew out offensive words during tattooing. You have to have a strong mind and high pain tolerance to get a tattoo on the head.
Neck
If you are unlucky to visit a heavy-handed tattoo artist, then you are most likely to feel extreme pain when tattooing on the neck. The neck is an important body part since all the vital organs run through it. Anyone single wrong piercing could put you in danger. So instead of the front part of the neck, you can go for the back of the neck since it is less painful and will take around an hour or two depending on complexity and size of the design.
Nipples
Nipples are the most sensitive body parts. As such, getting a tattoo on and around the nipples are quite painful. The degree of discomfort you will feel during tattooing on and around nipples will make you restless. There will be an extreme burning sensation that will make you feel as if your nipples are on fire. It's also possible that you may give up after a few minutes.
Armpits
Armpit tattoos are trending for they make the armpit look beautiful. However, getting a tattoo on the armpit is painful because of the presence of major auxiliary nerves, lymph nodes, and glands. The pain is such that during the tattooing process, it's possible that you may yell 'stop' at your artist.
Inner Elbows
Any type of tattoo on the inner elbows definitely looks good. But due to the presence of ulnar and median nerves that run through the surface of inner elbows, hitting this area with a needle triggers pain. Moreover, fewer fats on that area deprive padding to the nerves. You will feel pain not only in the elbow, but also in the entire hand, wrists, and fingers.
Hands and Feet
Hands and feet are the most used body parts in our day-to-day life. They are the most bony-areas as well where all the nerves that run through our body end. That's what makes tattooing on hands and feet extremely painful. As compared to other body parts, tattoos on hands and feet require lots of touch-ups and multiple sessions.
Rib
If you ask anyone who has got his or her rib inked how painful was their experience, they will most likely advise you to get a tattoo on somewhere else but the rib. As the rib is composed of mainly bones and fewer fats, any needle hitting this area is like drilling the bone. Plus, the presence of major nerves in the rib with not enough flesh or muscle for cushioning also make it the worst area for tattooing.
Remember, tolerance for pain in female is more than male. Just make your mind strong to brace the pain and the result will amaze you. All you need to do is find an experienced tattoo artist who is light handed, and visualize the result to lessen pain.
