Inner calf or outer thigh tattoo?

14 replies

Looking for experience of pain here Grin

I have several tattoos of varying painfulness, and am now planning tattoos on inner calf and outer thigh.

How did you find these areas?

I'm staying well clear of the back of the calf, as this previously had me in tears.

Thoughts?

Haven't had a thigh one yet but 2 of my biggest tattoos are on my calf (one on each), and they hurt like a bigger. More than my chest piece or hands. I'd still get more there though 😂

Where on your calves are they? I'll never get anything on the back of my calves again, it was worse than my neck.

Outer calves but it wraps round the front of my shin and round the back of my calf. Absolute agony from start to finish and I like to think after having my entire hands and fingers done and a huge piece on my chest that I'm a bit hardcore, but the calves killed me off.

Outer/mid thigh I found quite manageable - getting towards the inner thigh was a bit excruciating, but all my pieces are quite large (palm sized) and coloured in so it’s been 2-3 hours continuous work and everything is painful after that long.

7 hours each on my calf pieces

My calf piece was 7 hours, never doing that again! Grin I wondered if inner calf was worse.

I have a large piece on the front of 1 thigh but not side. Front of the thigh was the least painful I've had.

Outer thigh was fine for me, it was the inner bit that really hurt

PineappleTart · 05/01/2022 14:10

Calf was sore but outer thighs fine, didn't have any pain.

PrincessNutella · 05/01/2022 14:31

neither

Outer thigh was ok, I've had 5hrs work on both

tricksyt · 05/01/2022 19:21

Thanks guys. Interesting. I think I'll go for the thigh Grin
