Body Tattoo

There is absolutely no way to gauge how painful a Body Tattoo is going to be - each and every one is different. It depends mainly on your state of mind, if you turn up at the Tattoo Studio in a positive frame of mind, looking forward to the experience, it probably won't hurt as much as you think. If you arrive nervous and unprepared - it will almost certainly hurt more than you expect. There are some practical and simple steps you can take to make sure that it isn't an unpleasant experience.
Getting a Tattoo means the Artist has to pierce your skin. That will always involve pain. Irrespective of the size of the tattoo, or even or where it is positioned, you can expect to feel discomfort at the very least though body tattoos are generally less painful than other areas. We all have a different level of pain tolerance, women usually have a higher pain threshold than men, and that pain threshold will dictate how uncomfortable it is regardless of any other factors. The pain is more of a burning or tingling sensation rather than a prolonged discomfort like toothache. In areas which have less tissue, muscle or fat and which are bony, such as feet and wrists, the discomfort may rise to level of real pain. In fact some Tattoo Artists will not work on these areas for just that reason. Unless men have a particularly bony chest that isn't generally a problem. Backs, arms, legs and areas where there is plenty of muscle or a layer of fat will hardly have any discomfort at all.
Tattoo needles pierce the skin very quickly and at varying depths depending on which parts of the design are being inked. The first part of any Tattoo is the outline which generally has to be done at the deepest level to create the dark outline around the design which needs to stand out, so the needles are inserted deeply and carefully to make sure it looks right - there is no easy way to erase mistakes. If it is a particularly large Tattoo then it will have to be done in more than one session, the shading and contouring done after the outline. The shading isn't generally such an uncomfortable experience as the needles don't have to penetrate so deeply and the Artist can work more quickly when filling in a design.
