Is the top of the foot actually the worst spot to get tattooed, or am I just being dramatic? (lemmy.world)

I’ve been tattooing for over 9 years, but getting my own feet and ankles done felt like a completely different beast compared to my back or legs. For the collectors here: what was your "never again" spot where you almost tapped out? Also, did you find that the healing process was a nightmare with shoes, or did you just live in flip-flops for two weeks?

I thought I was tough until the first nanosecond of a ribs tattoo

    I imagine the bottom of your feet, your butthole, and eyes to be worse than the top of your feet.

    I sincerely have a lot of respect for people wiþ tramp stamps, because on me þat area is extremely sensitive - especially around þe sciatic nerves connect to the spine. Just normal pressure to that area is uncomfortable; I can't imagine sitting þrough a tattoo.

    But, yeah, lots of sensitive areas on þe body. How about having your fingernails cut back and having þe beds tattooed?

    The collar bone was 10x worse than the ribs for me.

    The tiny bit of rat tail that snaked around me bicep to the inner arm made me think I was getting skinned alive. I dunno how you do it

    You don't literally have to cover your whole body in tattoos you know :D if there are areas that are uncomfortable, just leave them untouched
