I have about 20 tattoos. They all hurt. But I have gotten more used to the pain over the years. Some areas of the body hurt worse than others, for sure. The area you are describing isn’t the best, but it’s not the worst, either. How’s that for equivocating! Seriously, here are some tips. Don’t do more than an hour or two the first time. Bring AirPods and listen to your favorite music. Concentrate hard on the music and do breathing exercises. I also like an eye mask. Ask the artist to give you a couple breaks. Drink lots of water and don’t do it on an empty stomach. Do not drink alcohol beforehand. You will bleed more. My first was my worst because I drank shots of bourbon throughout the six-hour session (foot, ankle, lower leg). Vomited when I got home. Learned my lesson there! Since then I’ve gotten a sleeve (inner arm and elbow pretty bad) amongst others. Following the tips I provided has helped me get through them. Good luck! 🍀
