Back of the arms? No fun at all. One hour. Wot a wuss. However, I do now have the outlines of three more pumpkins, one of which is part shaded - because at that point my skin stopped accepting ink. So we gave up. Give it a week or two, I'll be back....

It's not too bad, on the whole - but any tattoo hurts like the proverbial mofo! The back and shoulders are more painful than the upper arms, but it really depends on the individual. If you're having a bad day it'll hurt worse, bizarrely.

Plus of course, the average 'girly' tattoo takes about 20 minutes - the stuff I've had done takes hours at a time...!

But yeah, it depends. A quick way to check is to pinch the area; then compare it to pinching the area on the outside of the upper arm. That gives you a rough indicator.

*nods* Allright, cause that's where I'm planning on having the tattoo I want put. I didn't wanna choose some area that was gonna like kill me as soon as the needle touched it. *snorts*

Mom got hers there, where I'm wanting mine, and she's said roughly the same thing.

I like your stuff better than the average "girly" tatt. *grins*
