Any tattoo artists on here?

Not sure if I'll get any replies because I've posted under tattoos.

Any tattoo artists able to offer advice?
I really want a spine tattoo. But it'd be my first tattoo. And everything I've read says that spinal tattoos are in one of the most painful places. So I'm not sure whether it'd be a good idea for my first.

I am mid 20s and the tattoo itself isn't meaningful or anything, I just think it looks nice.

I'm just basically hoping that someone can come on and say "they don't hurt that bad"

I've got quite a large one at the top of my back and it was probably the least painful I've had. Well, it was just easier to handle the pain.

I have got one right on my spine just above my bum so tramp stamp as some do call it 🤣
Had it done early 20s and honestly I didn't find it was that painful my hip and side one was though in comparison.

My daughter in law is a tattoo artist

She said this is not one of the more painful areas to tattoo

Personally my shoulder one was nothing
My horrible tramp stamp one at bottom of spine was slightly uncomfortable
