Where is the Least Painful Place to Get a Tattoo? The Simple Answer!

Tattooing oneself is meant to be a pleasurable experience. But some people have reported feelings of discomfort, mostly described as an itchy or burning sensation, in the affected area following a tattooing procedure.

To avoid this, you should ensure your tattoo artist does the procedure in the least painful place to get a tattoo, which is in a part of your body that is relatively fleshy, and not a bony region.

Therefore, the thigh, shoulder, upper arm and buttocks are comparatively pain-free, and are ideal for those with low pain tolerance.

In contrast, you will likely feel more discomfort if you applied a tattoo to an area with close skin to bone proximity, such as the elbow, spine, chest, forehead, knees, and toes, and areas with a high distribution of nerve endings such as behind the ears, lips, and eyebrows.

Since tattooing involves insertion of needles into skin, it is always going to cause a degree of discomfort. How much depends on the individual, as we all have different pain thresholds. For most people however, the process is generally tolerable.

Inform your tattoo artist if you feel excessive discomfort. He or she would, if necessary, apply soothing techniques such as creams and ointments, or give you a short break, or decide to resume the procedure at a later date.

Whatever you do, make sure you are visiting an experienced, professional tattooist, who would normally have a variety of ways to relieve any feelings of discomfort in the area.

And if you choose the least painful place to get a tattoo as earlier explained, you should be just fine.
