Map of your body – Specifics of tattooing

Sponsored article

Where is the most painful place to get a tattoo? This is a well-known question for many who ever started tattooing or are still thinking about it. Based on the experience of Vean tattoo one thing can be said: if a person decided to get a tattoo exactly in the place where he sees it, to dissuade him not to do it cause of painful feelings is almost impossible. That’s why we made a body map, also known as a  pain map, to make it easier for you to prepare for an exciting, but incredibly pleasant new thing.

Where do we start? Let’s start with the fact that pain level is an individual thing. You’ve probably heard controversial stories about how one of your friend’s acquaintance slept through the whole session while he was getting a tattoo on his ribs, and the other one, on the contrary, counted the seconds until the end, wishing that the hell machine would sooner stop the torture. After such opposing stories, you don’t know exactly what to think. We’ll say definitely that both one and the other story take place. Tattooing is a sacred action, which a person puts his meaning and lives it together with the artist, feeling every piece of his future artwork. It can not with a hundred percent guarantee to say that this place is the most painful. Each body is unique and perceives the signals of pain in its own way. There are also many factors in which the pain can be intensified. But there are places where it will be more intense. Let’s talk about these places.

At the top of our list of pains is the armpit

Six years ago, in the networks began to gain popularity hashtag #armpittattoo, where users actively shared their tattooed armpits. Such an expressive move is definitely for the fan, but has his own audience. Tattooing in this place is considered one of the most painful and difficult healing. Through this sensitive place runs a lot of nerve endings, which make it the king, or rather the queen of pain in our list.

Ribs and chest

A rib tattoo is a delicate kind of painful pleasure that can be compared to ballet art. It’s subtle, fragile, incredibly beautiful and of course painful.

On the ribs, the skin is thin and is right above the bones, so this place is considered quite painful. Tattooing on the ribs is often a personal story. It is rarely seen. Which makes it very attractive to people who want to get a tattoo, but do not want to show it off.

During tattooing, the ribs move slightly when you breathe in and out, making the process more painful than others. Because the skin doesn’t have time to get used to the pain and lives through it time after time like it’s the first time.

Breasts, nipples

This is a very sensitive area with a lot of nerve endings. Tattoos on the nipples and breasts can be quite painful.

Inner thigh

When people say this is a painful place, there is a bit of dissonance going on. That’s because this part of the body has a layer of fat and doesn’t fit tightly to the bone. But the inner thigh is a very tender place, which makes it painful enough for tattooing.

Head

Another worthy example on our list. A tattoo on the head is a conscious decision of an “experienced” person. This is not the place to start your first acquaintance with ink. Frequently, people who can be surprised by little in tattooed art go for it. And even for them it is a big challenge. Besides the fact that there is little fat on the head and a lot of nerves, the whole session is accompanied by a feeling as if they do not make a tattoo, but a trepanation of the skull. But if you abstract from this feeling, the effect of such a tattoo is definitely worth it.

Groin

If you are considering a groin area for a tattoo, be prepared to be patient. This place is a veritable clump of nerve endings and lymph nodes.

In addition to the sensitive areas that Vean tattoo talked about above, the level of sensitivity will be affected by the size and difficulty of your sketch.

And remember, being nervous before going to the tattoo parlor is completely normal. A good night’s sleep, a good snack, a comfortable atmosphere at the session, will help you relax and make the process less painful.
