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....

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

How bad does the back of the shoulder feel? Like where you have the Eddie playing the bass at...actually the shoulder blade more like it.

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*
