No scream! Here we have rounded up the least painful body areas for tattooing.

"I always tell my clients to imagine a cat continuously scratching them with hot claws. It's definitely a very acute, in-the-moment kind of pain. Though I've never been scratched by a cat, I do have tattoos and can attest to said scratchy feeling.”

This is how Anka Lavriv, a tattoo artist and co-owner of Black Iris Tattoo studio, shared her  insights on pain in tattooing with Allure.

And this must have scared you if you are going to get inked.

Well, pain is an inevitable part of tattooing. Pain, screams, and discomforts are real stories. Even a sight of a needle machine running over the skin may upset you.

But it is equally true that not tattooing doesn’t hurt the same on all body parts. This is because some body parts like thighs and fingers have less nerve endings that send pain signals to the brain.

Besides, the abundance of flesh with less prominence of bone minimizes the painandacts as a cushion for the sensation of the needle.
