Where to get a tattoo

I have finally come up with a design that I am in love with and have had it done in semi perm ink for about 2 months (still love it), however am a massive baby and don't know where to have it placed.
My dh has quite a few tattoos (currently 7 but itching for another lol) and he's constantly telling me it doesn't hurt much although admits the 1 on his lower leg did hurt when he had the shin part done, BUT he has a freakishly high pain threshold whereas I don't.

My choices are the top of my breast (lots of flesh), the small of my back (no flesh there really), My shoulder (fairly fleshy) or the top of my foot, (Again no flesh as have bony feet)

Where would you advice to have it done for less pain? I've had loads of bloods taken, cannulars inserted etc and as long as i don't look can cope with them (I also have this weird thing with blood where I pass out or puke or sometimes both).
Thanks
xx

I would always go for back. Breasts are subject to too much change OP...shrinking or swelling as it were and thus changing the shape of the tattoo.

Feet...ouch.

Shoulder isn't ideal as it's a funny place for straps etc.

Agree back is probably best of those options. Middle or to the side? Side can be sore as over the kidney area which is quite tender.

I got a tube of numbing cream from the chemist for my lower back done!!

Your foot is probably the most painful place to go for as it’s straight on to bone. I have tattoos in various different places, of your options I’d say small of back, but to one side. Your breast will hurt even though it seems fleshy as you’ll be hitting rib cage underneath

My least painful place though was upper side of thigh. Is that an option?

In my experience the least painful places are fleshy but not ticklish, my back was fine except on my spine (which just felt weird!) and my kidney area.
Don't use numbing cream as it can toughen the skin meaning the tattoo doesn't take as it should.
Tattoos are supposed to hurt! It's the whole experience as far as I'm concerned Smile

Thanks every1 the top of my thigh would be an option but I have nerve damage so think the vibration my set things off.
The small of my back would be good.
Dh said not to use numbing cream too.
I don't mind a bit of pain as it'll soon be forgot once it's finished Just worried how I'll cope during the act itself.
Dh said if I'm definitely decided he'd pay for it (he's weirdly excited for me to get 1 lol)
