Am thinking of getting one, about half way down one side under my arm. Never had a tattoo, but want some song lyrics.
Will take an hour and a half apparently. Is the pain unbearable in this location? Couple of mates have said it's an ambitious place for a first tattoo (!?)
Go for it. You won't regret it. Not once! Never! :hehe:Quote:

It’s the spinal countdown!
Tattoo on the ribs ****ing hurts. A lot.
I'd rather have 10 hours on my arm than 10 seconds on my ribs.
Source: I have half a body sleeve, everything above the waist.
Anyone who says it doesn't hurt is a liar
And the thin skin under the arm around the pit is almost as bad as ribs
If this is your first tattoo go for the upper arm.
Tattoos are contagious! You'll end up with the ubiquitous sleeve tattoo in no time at all, a teardrop design on the face, and a Maori tattoo going up your neck. Stay away from them. :hehe:Quote:

Ribs are very painful. Other parts of the body are uncomfortable but not painful really. Boney bits hurt.Quote:

I always fancied the same and in the end I went for Madness's Return of the Los Palmas 7.
Didn't hurt at all.

Cheers for your help. Am thinking ribs or inner bicep
Words are to an Emmylou Harris folk song that kept me going during the height of lockdown 👍
I often see the natives, here in China, posting such pictures online of foreigners with tattoos that have errors in the Chinese characters. It's a constant source of amusement for them. :hehe:Quote:

It's going to hurt. But it's not unbearable. It only hurts when the needle touches you. There's no lingering pain. A few lines of song lyrics shouldn't be that bad. You can do it.Quote:
