Medical Video: The Most Painful Tattoos | Tattoo Artists Answer
If you are thinking of getting a tattoo but are still shrouded in a painful pain when the needle enters the skin, do you know that there are certain places that don't really hurt when tattooed?
Avoid the most painful places when tattooed and you will get a beautiful tattoo of your dreams so far with a little pain, if you are careful and understand where the safest place is.
Body parts that are safe for tattooing without pain
1. Finger
The fingers are often included in the list of the most painful areas of the body when tattooed, but there are reasons why we put them on this list too.
You may experience pain from a finger tattoo, especially if you get it near the bone. However, tattoos on these body parts are usually small in size with a fairly simple design, so the pain will not last long. In addition, even though every major nerve in the body ends in the fingers and toes, there are not many nerve endings in the back of the finger (especially in the upper knuckle part) when compared to the tips of the fingers or the inside of your palm.
The disadvantage: continuous hands and feet to move. There is a lot of friction due to continuous movement by your hands, feet, or between your fingers, and the shallow depth of the skin layer in this area, tends to make tattoo ink easy to wear and fade quickly.
2. The outer side of the shoulder
The sides of the armpits and arms are the two parts of the body that are most painful when tattooed - thin, sensitive, and prone to nerve damage. If you insist on getting sleeve tattooaka tattoos on the arm, why not work around this by concentrating the design on the outside of the shoulder?
The outermost area of the shoulder to the forearm has enough meat pads to resist sharp punctures from the tattoo needle, besides that, this body part has few nerve endings so that your first tattoo experience does not have to be as painful as imagined so far.
3. Thighs
For those of you who are considering the location of the first tattoo, why not just make it on the front thigh or back? The thigh section is generally safe enough to be tattooed because there is a lot of space that can be used as a "painting" canvas for the tattoo artist. In addition, the amount of pain that is felt to be quite tolerable - even for those of you who are sensitive to pain.
But, avoid the groin area. The groin area, including the genitalia, may appear thick and fatty, but the pain caused will be more painful because the nerve bundles from the genitals spread through this area.
4. Behind the ear
The back of the ear is a place rarely known as a strategic location for tattooing. For those of you who prefer to hide tattoos, small and simple designs are enough to satisfy your desires. You get the first tattoo as well as being closed from the eyes of others - which you can show off later when wearing up-do hair makeup, such as horse ponytail or speed.
The area behind the ear has very few nerve endings, so the pain experienced will not be so heartbreaking.
5. Hip and stomach area
Of the many places that you can paint tattoos, the hip area - lower abdomen, hip and waist circumference, navel, and lower back - is one of the places that is not so painful to tattoo. In contrast to the upper abdomen and upper chest area that has thin pads, the hip area has many layers of extra fat and not too many nerve endings in this area.
6. Calf
The area between the lower knee and above the ankle is a very good place for your first tattoo, especially if you choose to paint it in the outermost area of the calf away from the bone. Whether it's a big and complicated or small and simple tattoo design, you can sit quietly and be sure that you won't be bothered by heartbreaking pain because the calf area has very few nerve endings.
7. Inner wrist
Getting a tattoo in this area will not cause many complaints. This is because the skin of the wrist is thin, but not near any bone protrusion.
8. Nape of the neck and upper back
Don't worry too much about thinking that a tattoo near your head must be painful for mercy. The upper back, including the nape of the neck, provides plenty of safe space as your canvas paints your favorite tattoo designs. This part of the body is also one of the least nerve endings, so as large or as complex as your tattoo, the experience of the first tattoo on your back will not end creepy.
However, stay away from the area of the spine that is too close to the surface (where the bone protrusion is very clear) and the armpit area, because these two areas have more nerve end bundles than the other back area.
9. Ribs
The area around the ribs has thin skin pads to protect the bones, so this area is among the most sensitive of the entire list above, so making tattoos on these body parts may be a little more painful than the eight other locations described earlier. But calm, the pain is still quite tolerable and certainly does not make you roar in pain. Why?
Although the bone protector pads are thin, the strength must not be underestimated. The skin of the rib region, arguably (to some extent), is resilient to pain. What's more if you have extra pads in this area. The combination of small amounts of nerve endings and reinforcements from extra layers of fat and meat, makes this area safe enough to tattoo without giving a painful pain.
But remember, everyone's pain tolerance is different. What might not hurt someone, can be a horror experience for some people. Apart from that, these nine places are the most common body parts reported to provide the least pain when tattooed. So what are you waiting for?
