KUPASONLINE.COM — The process of making a tattoo is done by injecting a needle filled with special ink into the deepest part of the skin. Not infrequently this process causes pain or pain that is felt by the maker.
Some people describe the sensation as like an ant bite or feeling dull, while others feel a sharp, painful scratch. The sensation of pain is especially felt when tattooing certain body parts. Then, what part of the body hurts the most when tattooed?
Launching Insider, based on the experience of Bethan McConnel, a writer and journalist at the media, he already has 40 tattoos on his body and reveals that five parts of the body hurt when tattooed.
Maybe the sensation of pain is actually relative, because each person can feel a different sensation depending on the body’s response to pain. However, he admits that when making tattoos on the following body parts, the pain is so intense that the wounds after being tattooed are difficult to heal.
1. Tattoo on the shoulder
The shoulder is a part of the body that does not have a lot of fat and meat. Needle after needle puncture in the area is said to cause severe pain. In addition, the process of restoring a tattoo on the shoulder is also difficult to cure because it cannot be reached by the hands when topical medication is given and so on.
2. Tattoos on the collarbone Placement of tattoos on the collarbone should be thought over and over again.
Because the sensation of pain is very pronounced and torturous. According to Bethan, this collarbone has thin skin and the area is in direct contact with the bone. Even when the tattoo artist (tattoo maker inscribed his tattoo needle), he felt the pain is very nagging and almost gave up on the process.
3. Tattoos on the ankle Tattoos on the ankle are quite popular because this part of the body is very easy to hide. But during the process of making a tattoo, the pain is also very disturbing because this part is quite sensitive and the skin is also thin. Not to mention when the tattoo is done, someone will find it difficult to wear socks or shoes because the wound is easier to come into contact with socks or shoes.
4. Tattoos under the arm Tattoos on this part of the body are also very popular for many artists or musicians. It was also what made him want to get a sunflower tattoo on the bottom of the arm or above the elbow. But it turns out that when the tattoo is made, the body part actually causes unbearable pain.
Even though it has a lot of meat and fat, the inside of the elbow is quite sensitive and moves very often. In fact, the movement makes tattoo healing take longer and the movement can trigger irritation and injury.
5. Tattoos on the shins According to Bethan, the shins are also the part of the body that hurts when tattooed. This is because the skin in this area is very thin, close to the bone, similar to the collarbone. Even tattoo artists also say that the shins are the most difficult part when tattooed.
