Everyone experiences pain differently. However, certain areas of the body tend to be more sensitive than others, such as the inner wrist, elbow, armpit, and ribs.  These areas can be particularly painful when getting a tattoo due to the lack of fat and muscle padding. Additionally, any body area that has bone close to the surface is generally more painful, such as the spine and ankle. If you have low pain tolerance, it's best to avoid these areas. Another factor that can affect how painful a tattoo is is the size and detail of the design. Larger tattoos with more intricate designs are more painful than smaller, simpler ones. The tattoo artist must make multiple passes over the skin to complete the design, which can be pretty irritating. So, if you're looking for a pain-free tattoo experience, it's best to avoid sensitive areas of the body and stick to smaller, simpler designs.
