9 Body parts that are least painful when tattooed & bull; hello healthy

If you are thinking about getting a tattoo but are still shrouded in the image of grievous pain as the needle enters your skin, did you know that there are certain places where tattooing is less painful?

Avoid the places that hurt the most when getting tattooed and you will get the beautiful tattoo of your dreams so far with the least amount of pain, if you are careful and understand where the safest places are.

Parts of the body that are safe to tattoo without pain

1. Fingers

Fingers are often included in the list of areas of the body that hurt the most when tattooed, but there is a reason 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 parts of the body are usually small in size with fairly simple designs, so that the pain won't last long. In addition, although every major nerve in the body ends in the fingers and toes, there are not as many nerve endings on the back of the fingers (especially in the upper knuckles) as the tips of your fingers or the inner side of your palms.

The drawback: both hands and feet are continuously active. There is a lot of friction due to continuous movement of the hands, feet, or between your fingers, and the shallow depth of the skin layer in these areas, tends to make the tattoo ink wear off and fade quickly.

2. The outer side of the shoulder

The sides of the armpits and the inner arms are the two parts of the body that are among the most painful when tattooed - thin, sensitive skin, and prone to important nerves. If you are determined to get sleeve tattoo aka tattoo on the arm, why not work around this by centering the design on the outside of the shoulder?

The outer area of ​​the shoulder to the forearm has enough flesh to withstand the sharp prickling of the tattoo needle, in addition, this part of the body has very few nerve endings so your first tattoo experience doesn't have to be as painful as imagined so far.

3. Thigh

For those of you who are considering the location of the first tattoo, why not make it on the front or back of the thigh? The thighs are generally safe enough to be tattooed because there is plenty of room for a "painting" canvas for the tattoo artist. In addition, the amount of pain you feel is quite tolerable - even for those of you who are sensitive to pain.

But, avoid the groin area. The groin (groin) area, including the genitalia, may appear thick and fatty, but the resulting pain is more painful as nerve bundles from the genitals travel through this area.

4. Behind the ear

Behind the ear is a place that is rarely known as a strategic location for tattooing. For those of you who prefer to hide tattoos, a small and simple design is enough to satisfy your desire for your first tattoo and be hidden from other people's eyes - one that you can show off later when you put on some up-do makeup, like a ponytail or bun.

The area behind the ear has very few nerve endings, so the pain is less excruciating.

5. Hip and stomach area

Of the many places you can paint a tattoo, the hip area - the lower abdomen, the circumference of the hips and waist, the navel, to the lower back - is one of the less painful places to get a tattoo. In contrast to the thinly padded upper abdomen and upper chest area, the hip area has a lot of extra fat layer and not too many nerve endings in these areas.

6. Calves

The area between below the knee and above the ankle is a great place to go for your first tattoo, especially if you choose to paint it on the outer area of ​​the calf away from the bone. Whether it's a large and intricate tattoo design or a small and simple one, you can sit back and rest assured that you won't be bothered by grievous pain as 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 bony ridges.

8. Nape of neck and upper back

Don't worry too much about yourself thinking that a tattoo that is near your head must hurt for mercy. The upper back, including the nape of the neck, provides plenty of safe space on which to paint your favorite tattoo designs. This part of the body is also one of the areas with the least amount of nerve endings, so no matter how big or complex your tattoo is, your first tattoo experience on your back won't end up being scary.

However, stay away from areas of the spine that are too close to the surface (where bony protrusions are obvious) and the armpit area, as these two areas have more nerve end bundles than the rest of the back.

9. Ribs

The area around the ribs has a thin skin pad to protect the bones, so this area is among the most sensitive in the whole list above, therefore tattooing this part of the body may be a little more painful than the other eight locations previously described. But calm down, the pain is still quite tolerable and definitely doesn't make you roar in pain. Why?

Although the bone protection pads are thin, their strength should not be underestimated. The skin of the ribs is, in a sense (to some extent), resistant to pain. Even more so if you have extra cushioning in this area. The combination of a small number of nerve endings and reinforcements from an extra layer of fat and flesh, make this area safe enough to be tattooed without giving off a terrible pain.

But remember, everyone's pain tolerance is different. What may not be painful for someone, can be a horror experience for some.
