@ yes I realised later into the video when you mentioned you're planning to do your back and so on, anyway it looked like you're almost fully tattooed, should have listened till the end before I commented Just subscribed, I'll catch up 😁
The pain from my right rib cage tattoo is agonizing. Everytime the needle touches my skin it felt like it is scraping the bone beneath. Almost regretted the placement but in the end it is worth it.
I’m doing a Japanese half-body piece and that whole sternum/rib/side/hip area feels like murder compared to most of the sleeve lol. I’m going to end up extending it to include the other half of my body/torso but I’m not at all looking forward to sitting through the ribs and stomach again.
That’s crazy interesting to hear. I had my entire left rib cage done tons of line work too and to be honest it was so relaxing and if I had to rate the pain it would be a 4 outta 10 sometimes 4.5. My piece took 3 hours. I just chatted with my artist and went into almost a meditative state. What did you do to cope with the pain during your tattoo? Super curious because I think it’s pretty cool that everyone does something different to cope.
The way you can test how sensitive an area of your body is is to scratch or rub that area with one finger. Make sure to keep the same amount of pressure/intensity so that the test is fair. The more pain or sensation you feel, the more it’s going to hurt when getting a tattoo. Please be careful and don’t hurt yourself! Also please be aware that this is not the most accurate test there is, the only way to truly find out is by getting inked!
Just got my sternum done for my first tattoo and I didn’t realise how painful it would be I’m super happy that I got it 💁🏼♀️ ( stain glass rose design on the breastbone/ sternum)
The most painful areas so far, without a doubt, have been my solar plexus and ribs. The first two sessions of my chest and abdomen piece were super rough. We started my back piece a week ago, which also goes down the glutes and to the legs. The glutes aren't quite as bad as the ribs, but it definitely sucks. It will be worth it though when we get it finished! I love your neck tattoo. It is so pretty! It makes me want a neck tattoo even more!
The head is a spot that almost everyone seems to agree hurts really bad. But my best friend got an eye tattoo right in the middle of the back of his head. And he told me it didn't hurt at all. And it was the easiest one he's ever got. So weird how it can be so different from person to person. 🤷♂️
The worst part of my armpit was healing it. The pain went away normally, I had no fallout and it healed quickly. However, you can’t wear deodorant or shave the area for at the least 2 week, at the most almost a month. My advice is to get it done in the winter, and shower frequently!
Oddly enough, I got my armpit tattooed, and it wasn’t really bad honestly. When it’s bad is where people get 6 hour flower pieces(my tattoo was 1.5 hours) and that hurts anywhere. What hurt to me the most was my wrist. I was in the middle of a 3 hour session, and as soon as she started on my wrist, it felt like she was scratching on my bone.
How the hell did you sit through getting your armpit tattooed?? I'd be in agony from pain and laughter at the same time. No way i'd manage to sit still😅
I got the back of my ankle tattooed as my first one and oh my god that might have been the most painful feeling I’ve ever felt. But like you said, i was able to power through it because I knew it was temporary. It was more painful than when a filling in my tooth started to leak into the pulp of my tooth causing an emergency root canal. I ended up going to the hospital because I was in so much pain. The ankle tattoo hurt more than that but was quick.
Very interesting video ! I juste have one remark : could you maybe just add the instagram of the artists ? It's always easier to find them afterwards if they have one

Alice Thirel will do thst in a sec, sorry, i forgot.
I got a hand tattoo a couple of days ago, was told it would be super painful by friends who believe it or not have tattoos so I believed them... it didn’t hurt, well it did but nothing too bad I sat there for the full 3 hours fine
Sorest for me were, in order from least to worst: Arms(easy), chest (not bad), neck (not bad), back of hands (sore), genitals (very sore), nipple (very sore but small enough that it wasn't awful), wrists(starting to get up there), fingers (horrible), around the eyes (excruciating), palms (absolutely the worst, nothing comes close, except maybe splitting my tongue, actually worse than breaking my wrist)
it's crazy how much tattoo pain differentiates on different body parts. I have a half sleeve on my upper arm and fell asleep during it, yest when i was getting my 3 inch long tattoo on my wrist I almost blacked out! lmao
I've been working on a large piece that is partly on my lower ribs, upper hip and the side of my stomach. Each part feels different but the worst has been the stomach. Every time the needle touched my skin i felt the need to clench my abs and hold my breath, and it gets tiring after just 2-3 hours of tattooing! I've left the shop exhausted both times we've worked on it so far. I also have a piece right on the center of my stomach that goes right in between my ribs, just before the sternum. That was absolutely agonizing! I'd rather get my armpits tattooed than my stomach.
I got a tattoo right on my collar bone a few days ago and it was about a 2 or 3 in a pain scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the worst). Trust me they're nothing to worry about.
Got mine done last year. It's definitely a sensitive spot. But depending on how much work you get there. It was painful but definitely nothing like armpit or sternum
I had my artist tattooing my collarbone a couple weeks ago and could feel it i my teeth. About to have my sternum done on Monday😬😬 Hoping its not too bad. The inside of my 💪 is my #1 MOST PAINFUL. Edit: Sternum was a breeze. The stomach has been rough. Still not as bad as the 💪 . Edit. The stomach was rough but it's still not as bad as the inside 💪
Update 4 months later.....Sternum hurts, stomach was therapeutic and my ribs felt like i was being carved like a turkey. Almost done and almost full frontal torso!! I want a head tattoo but i want something masculine yet attractive. I find most head tattoos scary and thats not what i want
My most painful tattoo was a web on the front of my left knee. I had my right knee done the week before and my left knee was way worse. Luckily it was more simple so I didn’t have to sit as long. But holy crap super spicy.
I like your videos, i like your boyd transformation! You're great! When do you have the next tattoo appointment? Thank you for sharing your evolution and experiences.
My first tattoo was on my head/neck and it was the least painful but maybe that was because the adrenaline since i was super nervous. The most painful for me was on my chest, on the collar bone felt like somebody was sawing into my bone with a butter knife 😬
shins and kneecap were a joke to me after i got like 20 letters in small font on one rip, which felt like hell lol. cant imagine that being shaded or coloured. Like.... it felt like someone tried to cut through my rip with a butter knife, while my whole body vibratet and tickled in a really strange painful way and also it hit weird nerves that gave me goosebumps and also hurt through my entire torso down to my hits with every hit the needle made into my flesh.
My most painful tattoo was my palm tattoo.. it only lasted an hour but it was the worst hour of my life. Funny thing is once it's over it burns for a minute and you stop feeling any pain at all like nothing happened. It takes about a month to heal though. My left side hurts more then my right too I can relate

Auch! That's crazy, I hope I wont tap out when I get my palms done, but I know it will be worth it! Where can I see ur palm tattoos? Im interested in seeing what they look like. :)
Chest, sternum, lower back, butt cheeks, and the spine were no fun 😒 hips, ribs and stomach weren’t too terrible for me personally but a lot of people I know struggled with those areas
First tattoo was on my upper right side of my ribcage. Once that needle in the beginning before it dulled slightly and it was horrible to not jerk, honestly went years after and this guy was less heavy handed as the first artist but it was a much bigger piece over 4 sessions. BUT YOU TRULY DO HAVE TO EARN YOUR INK! Would live to meet that person who said that tattoos don't hurt. Call him/her and knock him out. SPOILER ALERT/WARNING FOR THOSE GOING TO EVEN THINK ABOUT A TATTOO PLEASE GET A GOOD ARTIST. DON'T LET YOUR FRIENDS DO IT. BTW START THINKING ABOUT BLACKS/GREY'S OR GOING COLOR. AS I HAD JUST BEEN DOING BLACKS AND GREYS, THEN HAD MY DAUGHTERS ART DEY BEHIND HER FOOT PRINTS AND NAME/D.O.B. AND I THINK THAT I'M GONNA HAVE TO ADD COLOR TO MY OTHER ONES ADD IT'S OFF...
My sleeves ventured into my armpits a bit and it was bad, but I thought the elbow/inner wrist was way worse. Getting my chest done next month and can't wait to feel that pain :D
Got a shin tattoo appointment today 😍 pretty dang nervous. My spine was painful, but my sternum was the worst. I have a dermal on my chest, so I felt the needle on my sternum in it, and it hurt so bad. My underboob ribs were not too bad, hoping to finish the front ribs off shortly after my shin!
My first tattoo was on my foot & was a breeze. I'm almost done with my sleeve & feel like the fatty areas hurt more than the boney ones. My hands & fingers were ok as well.
I love how your whole "look" is turning out! 😻Since you go to just the one artist ( ? I think?) - it's also so cohesive. Anyway, for me the armpits would be the worst for the healing stage! Eeek! Sweating and itchiness and no deodorant for a couple weeks! Yikes. One last thing - I had both my ankles done in a somewhat large piece (for the ankle) - that goes down the feet, all the way around and about 4" up each leg. For me the WORST part was the healing. I went through the worst itchy phase of my life! And I couldn't shave for a while - and when I did, it made the itchiness come back. That took several months for my skin to just calm down - I mean, it was healed - but the itch was ready to come back with just shaving.

Thank you! Yes 80% of my tattoos in just one artist. I have tattoos on my legs that are other artists but my hands and neck are all Emils Salmins work. :) omg, what - no deodorant?! Geez, I haven't thought about that but that does not sound good at all. But how was the pain? Sounds so crazy! Haven't heard anyone have it that bad on the ankles. But we all heal our tattoos differently and our bodies handle them also very differently.
@ I haven't had my armpits done - but I'm sure you'd have to go at least a week (I'd go more like 2 weeks) without deodorant. Plus, you won't be able to shave for a while - and you might have the same problem I did with my ankles with the itchiness (maybe). Yeah, my ankles were just itchy af - to the point of keeping me up at night, until I figured out using ice packs on them. They are good now and I really love the tattoos - large flowers and a blue morpho butterfly with swirly, kind of art nouveau designs mixed in. The pain on my ankles was definitely there - but I didn't mind it that much. It's the healing that I hate. 😆 Yes, we definitely all heal differently. My arms were a piece of cake (as I think most are). Can't wait to see your neck tattoo finished. It's turning out really beautifully! 💞
For me the left side is worse than right :) the worst was the left side of my head, especially behind my ear. I remember both sides behind the ears as being the worst part of my head tattoos.
I think I want my sternum done one day, but I'm so scared that I won't be able to handle it :O

Do that! :) I think you have to understand how bad you want the tattoo and the pain will only be temporary. But if the pain is too bad or u are too scared of it there are always numbing creams that can help out! :)
when i walked in for my chest tattoo everyone was like ''wow you're so ballsy'' and i didnt understand why so i just laughted in an awkward way,but when the needle touched my sternum....man that was awful
my wrist and back of my neck tattoo were my least painful so far but I’ve learned it’s usually a kinda 50/50 split on pain so I have no idea what to expect on my chest
My right side is more sensitive but my left side is much bloodier. My stupid brain also has more black packing on my right side, so i mean 🤷🏼♀️ but its been worth it so far. I think I’m about to hit 100 tattoos, trying to get to about post malone level of cover eventually
My armpits were easy peasy breezy! It was more painful on the outer area than the inner part. But healing it... That's a different story! Ankles were pure horror.
I have always found that my right side hurts so much more as well. Not too sure why but I have my whole back tattooed and the right side of my back was 10x worse than my left
Hi, I just found your video! 😊 I have a foot tattoo, it is my only tattoo, and it hurt less on some parts than on others, but it was not as bad as I imagined before :) maybe I'll get more tattoos in the future
That was the easiest of all the spots I've had done. One took 8 hours and was just fine. Sternum and Armpit was the worst for me. Trust me the armpit you can feel the pain through your entire body.
Just grow your armpit hait out. Trust me on this one. I had my inner arm tattoo placed pretty high. And so the artist had to go up into the pit to finish it. And that is NEXT LEVEL shit. Before that the most painful one was my stomach/sternum. But that was only getting blasted for about an hour and a half. But my inner bicep (very painful in its own right) took around 9 hours. So I was already pretty sore and when he got to the armpit. HO-LEE-COW!!!! My whole body tensed up. It's the only place where I could feel the pain from my head to my toes like electricity. Trying to be still for my artist during it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. People are not joking when they say it's horrible. And I was using Vasacane and it didn't even matter. Didn't help at all for that spot
My right side does hurt more than the left one!!! I got the same tattoo on the same place on both legs, left one was easy peasy but the right one was similar to death x)
my left body hurts more than my right because of a car accident in the past im going to risk the pain tommarow for my first joker 🃏 tat on the left hand ... PRAY 4 ME YALL
Also I understand exactly what you are saying I was younger and stupider, and a buddy said here would pay if she and myself got matching moustaches on the inside of our middle fingers. Good baby Jesus it was insane! Also it's faded!
my head elbow keecap ribcage back of the knee face and armpit was bad the most what was only boddering me were my hands feet my ankle my wrist and fingers the rest of my body my thigh upperarm fore arm inner arm inner thigh my back schoulder stomatch my calf etc was ok lmao i have my whole body tattooed so yeah
What about the neck and the throat? I do have back of the neck whole, and little bit of the sides, but I want to finally get front of my neck (the whole thing, going from the jaw down). I wonder, is it managable? Because Im like a little girl when it comes to pain!!! Also, it will be a heavy blackwork.
