tattoo questions

It starts at a seven but at some point, it gets to a three.

Okay so im planning on getting two tattoos....a palm tree on my ankle...and one on my inner bottom lip....if anyone has tattoos here could you rate them on a scale of 1-10 10 being most painful? thanks!!

ps...i already have a tattoo on my foot, and one on my wrist....and my bellybutton pierced...so if you could compare it to that...it would be helpful!!! thanks!

why on your inner bottom lip? sounds like alot of pain for just you to see it.... no offense but those are ugly in my opinion... to each their own!

It hurts so good, why ruin it with a number?

(I'm covered in 'em...)

Everybody has thier own tolerence of pain. When I had mine done it felt like fingernails digging into flesh. No big deal, but that was on my shoulders. What's with the inner lip thing? Makes me think of tattooing a dog or horse! lol Is there a reason for this?? Just curious...

the closer to the ankle the more it's gonna hurt, because of the lack of fatty tissue/muscle--tattoos over bones hurt--but I have several (including over my ankle and up my spine) and none are unbearable... and be aware that both those areas are subject to the ink falling out and bleeding through the lines...

Hey, I have a small one on my ankle and it wasn't painful at all - plus it only took about 5 minutes, so not really anything to endure. I'd say the pain was about a 2.

I have a tribal design at the base of my back and I'd rate the pain for that one at about a 6, maybe a 7 at some points. It took about 20 minutes.

I have a design on my wrist that I had done in a traditional Thai bamboo style and it was so gentle and painless, maybe a 2 at most.

The tattoo down my spine was by far the most painful and the longest. I'd rate the pain as a 9 for that one. The tattooist was also pretty heavy-handed and pressed really hard (which does give the best results). But man I was glad when that one was over. It's also my favourite :-)

I have a butterfly on my ankle about an inch or so from my ankle bone, it was my first tattoo, and it didn't hurt bad at all. I'd say about a 3-4

Sorry hun, but I'm of no help there. I have three tattoos and one of them covers my entire "down stairs" and none of them hurt. I guess I have a high pain tolerance. lol

That intrigues me, dunno why, but it does, and I if I knew you better, (well hell) knew you at all, I think I'd ask you more about it and to possibly see it. But..... Yeah, I don't know you and so on. But still it intrigues me.

I have 4 myself and will be getting #5 soon. They are in a variety of places but I'd have to say the one on the inside of my wrist was the most uncomfortable process of them all. I fell asleep while getting the one done on my lower back. (Yep kids I have a tramp stamp! But I had it long before tramp stamps were cool!)

My 21 year old now has 2. We got her her first when she turned 18. My 14 year old says she wants her first to be on the inside of her lip. And it always makes me wonder if she's serious, or if she's testing me because she knows I don't find tattoos that big of a deal. However I don't see why she'd want one there. But, like someone else said, to each their own. And she's 14 she might change her mind. But I think that'd be a really tender spot because there's lot's of blood vessels and nerve endings there. Certainly more than in your arm or leg. So it does all depend on your pain tolerance.

got a tattoo on m y ankle it hurt more then my back but not bad like a 3 or 4 maybe funny though when i was getting it done he must of hit something and my leg tensed up and i did not do it lol i had no control of the spasm the guy thought it was me doing it but i was like noo u hitting a nerve or something lmao it would not stop but the tattoo came out great lol

Why are people so concerned about whether or not anyone will see the OP's lip tattoo? *SHE* will know it's there, and that's really all that matters.

I have 7 tattoos in various places (including the ankle, but not the lip). I can only say, in good conscience, that one of them didn't hurt (back of my neck). The rest were excruciating in varying degrees. A lot will vary on your muscle tone, how heavy-handed your artist is, line work vs. shading, where you are in your menstrual cycle, etc. My advice to you is to just expect it to hurt, and then be pleasantly surprised if for some reason it doesn't.

My ankle tattoo didn't hurt at all..maybe a 2, tops. I have one on my foot, though (the top of it) that hurt pretty badly (8 or 9). When I had my bellybutton pierced, that didn't hurt too badly, and the ankle tat hurt even less, so there ya go. But that's just me.

I have 4 so far, 2 on my back and 2 on my chest . only one of them I even really felt and that was when he went over my spine was only maybe a 5 at the most . But then again I love the feeling and slept through both chest piece sections lol
