Pamela Anderson does have a barbwire tattoo.From what I recall the inside arm and tricep area was very tender for me.

My shoulder blade hurt SO much. The middle near the spine, not so much, and the back of the arm was a piece of cake after the blades. I think the more fat and meat, the less it hurts. The more bony, the more it hurts. I think the foot is the worst. But come on, no where does it NOT hurt!

I agree with you saying more fat equals less pain and the bony areas would hurt more.I did say that I heard the upper arm and shoulder blade was the locations that had the least amount of pain.

Just like you,I experinced lots of pain in the shoulder blades and a lot less pain in the middle of my back.Another area for my back that hurt was the lat area.

Getting a tattoo does hurt! Everybody has a different threshhold for pain.


May I add, the few days before I got my first tat (the big one I have on across my upper back) I watched this documentary on Nat Geo or something about this tribe in Africa that worships the Crocodile (or maybe Alligator) and their boy's becoming men rite of passage included getting hundreds of cuts on their bodies and faces to scar up like the scales of a croc (or gator, whichever it was). That's all I could think of while my very heavy handed tattoo artist was working on me. Being cut up by sharp pieces of rock.

In fact, he was so heavy handed that the needle stopped vibrating at times.

Ouch!!! As soon as I read that the needle stopped vibrating, and u feeling like u was being cut up by pieces of rock,made me think back.For me the outline was very painful.I will describe it as somebody taking a knife and dragging it all the way down your back.I did 2 and 3 hour sessions.
