The spots on my body that sucked to get tattooed, in order:
1. Sternum
2. Inner elbows (waaaaaaaaaayy worse than the funny bone as far as I'm concerned)
3. Ribs (I thought the front was worse but now we're working on the back ribs and that's just as bad)
4. Hipbones
5. Inner wrists
6. Backs of ankles (over Achilles tendons)
7. Boobs
8. Armpits
Places that were relatively easy as tattoos go:
1. Neck
2. Upper back
3. Biceps
4. Forearms
5. Butt
I find that the "crossover" areas of the body really, really suck -- like going from the outer arm to the underarm, when you cross that threshold on the side, it really hurts. Same with the outside of the calf -- right on the calf muscle isn't that bad, but when you work over to the outside edge of the leg, ow ow ow. Oh god, and going from your back around to your sides -- not fun at all. I live my life in fear of the moment when we get to the backs of my knees. I can very safely say, as a woman with at least 50% of my body tattooed, that not one of them has ever "tickled." Every minute of tattooing I have ever experienced has hurt like a sonuvabitch.
Today I saw a girl (she couldn't have been more than 21 at the most) in the grocery store with little stars tattooed around her eye like Kat von D. Yeah, way to get the EXACT SAME FACIAL TATTOO as someone on TV. That's an excellent life plan. *rolls eyes*
