Take these kind of charts with a grain of salt.

As someone who has several tattoos it’s different for each person. Personally the worst pain I felt was on a specific part of my wrist and I have tattoos in my armpits.

A friend of mine says their worst tattoo was the one on their ass and another friend says the worst was her thigh.

It’s generally accurate but everyone’s different.

Scarring is also a factor. Scar tissue reacts differently than normal skin. Sometimes it can be less sensitive and other times they can be more sensitive.

Yea definitely different for different people. I have both my feet covered, thighs, calves and two sleeves and by far most painful for me was inner bicep. It blew up to the point where I could almost not move my arms too. Worth it for tough stickers though.

We need to take all of those guides with grain of salt. It’s pretty common for them to not be that true. The “cool” part describes the looks of those guides more than anything.

Someone should get this chart as a full body tattoo. Please report back; I’ll be waiting.

Reminds me of this:

I would also like to point out the humour in me finding that on 9gag with some other watermark.

I have a palm tattoo, and I would definitely give that a red. I dread going to get it renewed.

Interesting that 1) donating blood uses a red spot, and 2) the colors don’t change continuously (there are blue-orange jumps skipping yellow, and yellow-red jumps skipping blue).

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

  • Direct Image Links Only Only direct links to .png, .jpg, and .jpeg image formats are permitted.
