BUT it also depends on your pain tollerence too. Everyone is different.

The worst area so far for me was the inner arm when I had my partial arm band done. Back then they didn't have tables either so I had to hold my arm for an hour or so, I'm sure that didn't help much either. lol Even still I would never say that any of my tattoos actually hurt, they would just get a little bothersome/sore/irritated after a bit. I do have a failry high pain tollerence too but I still wouldn't say they really hurt as I know a lot of people with no pain tollerence that have had tats done & even they said the same thing, it didn't really hurt just irritating, almost like rubbing an area over & over again or touching a slight sunburn. And thats what they feel like the first couple days of healing, like a slight sunburn. After 1-3 days though you usually don't feel a thing.
Thanks for the info. I've got one across my shoulder blade, and your right it wasn't that bad, it was more an irritant than pain, but I'm considering one on my ankle which is right on bone which is why I was curious. I confess I can be a bit of a coward when it come to pain..lol
