Tattoos

Back or inside of arm?

I have only a few little tattoos, one on my hip, tiny one on the side of one wrist and a tiny one inside another wrist.

I'm a complete wuss and hated the pain each time, particularly the inside wrist (I swear he was trying to kill me). I'm also very fair and quite thin skinned (literally not metaphorically).

That said, I've had a hankering for a new one for a while. A studio I've always eyed up has a flash day on Monday, with all proceeds going to Women's Aid. There's a couple of artists there I'd love so I'm thinking I might bite the bullet.

I know I'm going to be a wimp, I know it's going to hurt, I'm looking at either back of my arm (above my elbow) or the inside of my arm (below elbow) and I don't know which one will hurt less?

They are both moderately nippy spots. Of those I think I found back of arm marginally more sore but it really is very individual. I would go with where you think the tattoo would look best since that's the most lasting factor in your decision!

Both quite low pain spots in my opinion. Back of the arm probably slightly easier.
