Hey just wanted to tell you guys/ and gals that the ribs do hurt. I finally got the outline of my tribal that i wanted on my right side last night and it hurt bad!!! However, i have to go back and get it filled it and i am gonna get the same design on my left side too.

I've always heard that is pretty much the most painful place to get a tattoo! I would think it would be hard to get psyched to go back in for the fill after that... Wink

Keep us posted.

haha! It doesn't hurt that much, ok I do have to admit it's a bit uncomfortable but then again the tattooist said i wasn't normal and that most people cry! Very Happy

to be perfectly honest, this is the one place i have reservations about getting tattooed because of the discomfort/pain. which is a shame really as my grand plan / ideal world scenario involves a bit of work over the ribs. maybe i'll leave that bit til last

I have heard it being said that as you age the more getting a tattoo hurts, so if thats the truth then don't leave getting the rib area done too long. But in saying this I just had my second sitting done on my half sleave and to be honest it didn't hurt much. I could easily sit through that anytime and I'm no spring chicken now.

when it comes down to it, it all depends on pain tolerance Iv had people sit through a 2 hour session on the ribs and not evan wince then I had others who nearly jumped out of the chair.

Take a look in the gallery under Flower or Floral Tattoos and look at the giant flower I just did on a girls ribs. She said it was really tough to get through it. Did it in three sittings. Outline first, shading next, color last.
So yeah ribs hurt LOL

My ribs did hurt, especially the closer my man went up my side. It turned out real good and Im glad I got it done there.

Get something there, youll love it.
