i agree about the solar plexus area. it is REALLY tough. i have a full chestpiece that definitely had some very painful spots. i am getting my back done now and i am finding it pretty painful, but i also know that the artist doing it is very heavy h…
My lower backpiece reached out to the ribs, and neither spot was fun! My foot wasn't great either because my reflex was to kick, so it was really hard to hold still.
Having both sides of my ribcage, solar plexus, upper chest, collarbone down to manboob, and my back done, i have to say that the worst i ever experienced was the solar plexus. Then again i made a poor choice of tattooist in that one.
I have most of my back tattooed and just the front of my thighs. I think the the front of the thighs do hurt but compared to the ass nothing touches that. I hear the Ribs and the inside of the arm like armpit area hurt like a motha lova. Still need…
Back .....i'm finding all sorts lower back & between the shoulder blades for me were not nice, down the sides & upper back ok.
Front .....chest only done so far, around the "nips" for me was not good! centre where my chest panels meet phuckin killed…
I've heard everything under the sun in terms of pain:
Upper back is the worst
Lower back is the worst
Love handles are the worst
Ass is the worst
Chest is the worst
Elbows are the worst
Stomach is the worst
Anywhere you are ticklish is the worst

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if getting your front tattooed hurts about the same as the back. I would think slightly more since there are fewer nerves on the back. Thanks for any info.
Monju Bosatsu tebori method by Horitomo in the turtle back style. All done, will put up a pic after it's healed up. 75+ hours total. He wants to continue the Monju story. I can't say no to that. Going to start the expansion hopefully in March.
Cheers man! Yeah, the colours in the tail feathers are fantastic, I never thought it would turn out this good. Another couple hours and I should be done. :-)
You never know how long you can take until you try it. I went in expecting a 4 hour session, and ended up with 6.5. Before Friday I would've thought that 4 was my limit. But if it makes the sleeve better then you just grin and bare it! :-)
LOL thanks! Tho it was 6.5 total which included a lot of Steve drawing freehand, so was really about 5 hours getting tattooed. Still about 2 hours more than I was happy with! :-) Well worth it tho, i don't think it would've have come out so well getting the outline done in 2 sittings.
