Ranked from least painful to most painful

Getting a tattoo is painful. Eventually, you are attacked by a needle that makes many tiny holes in your skin to inject ink into you. And while this process will always be painful, no matter where you place the tattoo, it is obvious that some places are more painful than others. Ever wondered where is the worst place to get a tattoo? We've done this challenging research for you, so you don't need to ...

15: Chest : Even if you think you have great resistance to chest pain, most of your breasts are actually quite tender. People with a tattoo in this area often frown in pain as they get it, and if you add in the long healing period after tattooing, the overall experience can be considered difficult. But the good news is that if you are overweight, this area will be less painful.

14: Upper back: Like the chest, this area is difficult to tattoo and contains many nerve endings. This is the reason many tattooists warn newbies not to get a tattoo on the shoulder or spine. Also, as with chest tattoos, it may take some time to heal. And, since it is difficult to cover the area with cream, it is more susceptible to infection. Ouch!

13: Knees and elbows: presence the bones next to the skin in these places means that you will feel the needle going straight into your bone. And the lack of skin quality means you may have to go through each line multiple times. Expect to feel it right on your nerves!

12:  Rear part neck: Tattoos on neck, are known to be painful, and if one takes the trouble to examine the number of nerves running through the back of the neck, it is easy to see why many people choose to avoid it. ... Most people with a tattoo on their back neck, even with a fairly high pain threshold, cried in pain.

11: Hands and feet: Do you remember what we told you about the places where the bones adhere to the skin? The needle feels much stronger in these places. Unless you have truly unusual bodily defects, your arms and legs are among the most bony places in your body. Get ready to cry in pain when you get your tattoo.

10: Wrists: wrists are home to a surprising number of nerve endings and, worse, are also bony. Most people with wrist tattoos say the pain becomes unbearable after a few minutes.

9: Face: Tattoos on Facial are highly respected among the badass for a number of reasons - the most obvious of them being - you may have resisted the pain of a tattoo on your face. The skin on the face is usually the most sensitive area on the body, and like the skin on the arms, legs, and wrists, it tends to be quite thin. Tears are common, as are pauses.

8: Your life. It's no surprise that with all the organs that exist in our digestive system, belly tattoos are very painful. However, for women it is even more painful - especially during a certain period of the month. To complete the picture, this is not quite a place to “just sit still,” which also makes her healing painful.

7: inner thighs ... Tattoos on the inner thighs are usually very painful, especially given the fact that this area is a "sex place." The nerves on the inner thighs tend to go straight to the groin area, and like many other painful spots on this list, it can be difficult not to rub that area of ​​skin as it heals. If you've got a tattoo on your inner thighs, expect to walk strangely for a while.

6: Just below the ribs: many people scream in pain when they are hit in this place, imagine that they are getting a tattoo there! If you do this, you will quickly reach the stage where you have only one desire: to be silent so that the tattoo will end as quickly as possible. Sometimes the pain is so intense that the tattooed person loses consciousness.

5. Chest: if you think ribs are a bad option, don't even consider breasts! It is one of the most sensitive parts of our body, and many people who get tattoos on it pass out from the pain. Wearing shirts can be extremely painful and the healing time is usually absurdly long.

4: Inner knee: it is one of the few places on the body with an incredible number of nerve endings. A large percentage of those who decide to get a tattoo in this area cry, refuse the tattoo, or pass out in the chair. If so, don't be discouraged. You are not the only one!

3: Armpits: everything we've told you about the inside of the knees also applies to the armpits. But to complicate the situation a little, their healing time is very long, the risk of infection is especially high, and healing is extremely painful. You may want to skip armpit tattoos altogether.

2: Genitals: This shouldn't surprise anyone, but penile and vaginal tattoos are terribly painful. And, depending on the equipment used, the healing time can vary from a few weeks to several months. Most people who get such a tattoo pass out in the tattooist's chair - this is what we imagine anyway. For the sake of your sleep tonight, we are not going to tell you what can happen if you get infected there.

1: Eyes and eyelids: The only area of ​​skin that is even more sensitive than genital skin is the skin of the eyes. Most people scream, cry and get scared when they get a tattoo on their eyelids. The man who got the tattoo there said, "I cried in ink for two whole days."
