Tattoo Pain Chart

Are you planning to get yourself inked, but wondering whether it hurts, or which part of the body would be less painful for tattooing? Here we present a complete tattoo pain chart for you.

Tattoo Pain 

There is no denying the fact that tattoos hurt. You will hardly find anyone with a tattoo affirming that he or she didn't feel the pain. Those who say tattoos don't hurt are flatly lying just to project themselves brave in front of you. And if they are really saying the truth, then it's possible that they have a  high pain threshold. After all, the pain tolerance in people do differs.

The level of endurance you hold will also play a significant role in bearing the pain of needling. Moreover, the location of the tattoo will be the factor for agony from inking. Furthermore, the experience of the tattoo artist will also be the key for a painful experience. If he or she is heavy-handed, the discomfort will be more than compared to light and gentle-handed.

How bad tattoos hurt?

Before getting that coveted mark, sign, letter, emblem, or picture inked, prepare your mind to endure pain and agony. The piercing of the needle will also have blood and plasma oozing out of the area where the tattoo artists will work. A stinging and burning sensation in the area is sure. After some time, the jabbing makes one feel as if the needle is cutting the flesh and trying to dig the bone. However, the sensation reduces as the person sits through the process and the pain and sufferings  vanish once the tattoo artist finishes the job.



Most Painful Locations

Groin & Genitals: The groins and genitals are the most sensitive parts of our body and are covered with bundles of nerves. They are the most painful parts to get a tattoo because a major portion of nerves in the body runs through areas.

Inner Elbow: This is another painful spot since there are high chances of the needle touching the bone.

Ribcage: Even the hardcore tattoo fan would say that this is the most painful area to ink. Since it doesn't has much skin, fat, and muscle, it offers no cushion for the tattoo needle. If your pain tolerance is low, don't consider ribcage for a tattoo.


Arm Pit: This is where the several nerves, lymph nodes, and glands are present. You will experience maximum pain by inking in this area. Moreover, you will have to suffer the pain for a longer time since it takes time to subside.



Kneecap: Getting a tattoo on the knee is as painful as inking on the elbow and armpit. There are some who've cried and even passed out when getting the needle move on the kneecap.


Ankles: These parts of the body play a major role in balancing our body because of the bundled nerves. There are less skin, fat, and muscle in ankles and provide no padding making them most uncomfortable body part to get a tattoo.


Remember, pain is reality, but only for a limited time. So don't feel afraid or refrain yourself from getting a tattoo. The reward for pain that you suffer patiently throughout the process will definitely amaze you.
