An, erm, friend of mine, who is a bit of a woos if truth be told, is thinking about getting a tattoo.
However, he, is worried that it might be too sore for me, I mean him, if he picks the wrong part of the body.
The big softy quite fancies getting it on his upper arm, but doesn't know if there's a better location.
Can anyone advise, so I can pass the information on?

My only tattoo is on my upper arm and it was pretty painless, tell your woosy friend it will be fine. I'm sure he will listen to his really close friends advice.

Upper arm will be one of the more painless places I'd imagine, that's why most men have them there :)
I have three and the most painful was the one on my inner wrist.
Tell yer pal to man up :)

Man up radge.
Outside arm, good.
Inside arm, bad.
Take a pin and run it across the particular area you're thinking off. If it's the least bit uncomfortable then dismiss it.

Only tattooed on my chest.
Was told that was one of the sorest areas to get done but I found it ok. Definitely smarts a bit at first, anyone who says otherwise is lying imo, but it does get easier after a few minutes and I can see why some say it is addictive.
This is quite a useful scale imo although it obviously varies from person to person:

My Wolverhampton Wanderers tattoo was absolute agony. All that pain and most of the time you can only read WoW anyway.

Is it fairly painless to get one on the top of your back between the shoulder blades?

My arm didn't hurt much, was more an irritating scratching.
My shin and collarbones on the other hand....

If you go for a fleshy, insensitive area of your body it shouldn't hurt much.
Billy Brown's thinking of getting his head tattooed for example.

Got my left arm done from the elbow up and getting started on my bottom half next month. Anyone who tells you it's not sore is lying. Around the armpit and inside of the elbow was particularly excruciating. I found the colour far more uncomfortable that the outline.

I think the skin on back of the neck has relatively little sensation and would have the advantage, regardless of male pattern baldness, of always offering a cheap and painless means to hide it if you decide you don't like it after all. Mind you you might like your tattoo more than you like being bald with a ponytail or with a balding mullet
otherwise if you're not keen on handstands in front of the mirror, maybe an area with plenty subcutaneous blubber might dull the sensation

I only have my upper arms tattooed, I would like to get more done though but I don't have the funds for it. It's fine there, it nips a bit at first, but after the first few minutes it's relatively painless, then the colour starts and that nips but it's no more than mild discomfort. It is sore going over the bone at your shoulder as it feels like it is vibrating throughout your arm and the inside of the arm hurts as well as the skin is thinner and the area is less fleshy.

Get a proper old school one like ACAB on your knuckles and it shouldn't hurt a bit
