How painful is a wrist tattoo?

Question

Im getting wist tattooed saturday (getting a kanji symbol) and I wanted to know how does it feel? or if anyone who has it could explain how they felt. I know it depends on different people I just want to hear some stories.

Answer 1

it depends on the person

it didnt really hurt

but then i got a tatoo of cherries on my hooha!!

now that HURT!!!

Answer 2

The inside of the wrist is pretty painful, IMO.  Not as painful as the foot... but definitely more painful than meatier parts of your body... It is not unbearable, but not pleasant either. To me, it feels like getting scratched really hard, repeatedly. Afterwards it feels like a bad sunburn.

Answer 3

I've got a celtic symbol on my wrist and hurt terribly.  I've got 6 tattoos and that was by far the most painful.  I'll never do one on my wrist again.  Ever!

Answer 4

hi- i have the back of one wrist and the inside of the other done. the back didnt hurt too much at all, a little burning, but the inside was quite painful as it got closer to the wrist joint. ive had some a lot more painful tho, like my spine and hip, so i dont think its the worst place. however we all feel and react to pain differently, just take some deep breaths and remeber it'll be over soon!! good luck, i hope you love it as much as i love my ink.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 8

I have a friend who got one, and she said how it was different than other tatts was the fact that it tingled a lot more htan it usually does with other tatts after it was all said and done.

but she really likes hers- i think they're pretty cool myself.

Answer 9

well it all depends on the tattooist if just does it hard it will hurt.....but if u get a tattooist who does it softly and gently it wont hurt as much

Answer 10

I have a phoenix with a trinity symbol that goes down the inside of my forearm. Now i would definately not say that the wrist area tickled but it was totally bareable. I would compare it more to a cat scratch pain level wise. the worst was all the nerves through there were making my fingers twitch and do funny things that were kinda annoying.

it should be cake. Enjoy and congrats on the new piece!

Answer 11

I have an elaborate bracelet tattoo that took several sessions. It did not bother me at all, in fact I was talking to someone, and almost forgot that I was getting tattooed.

The one exception was at the wrist bone, it hurt (not terribly, like a prolonged cat scratch).

The healing was murder though, on the part closest to the hand.

My advise is to back it up as far away from the part where the skin wrinkles, and you will have an easier time. And stay away from the wrist bone.

Answer 12

Thats the only place I found that actually hurts. If you can make it through a bee sting, you can make it through a wrist tattoo.  

Answer 13

My wrist tattoo tickled me.  It didn't hurt and I love it!

Answer 14

Everyone's pain tolerance is different, so I can't tell you how painful it is. What I can tell you is that if you make sure you get a good night's sleep the night before, and eat a good solid meal before you go, that it will hurt a lot less.

I have a lot of tattoos, and the ones I've gotten done without eating or sleeping well beforehand hurt waaaaay more.

It kinda feels like a razor being dragged across your skin, or like sunburn being irritated.
