My lower back was one of the more painful spots but only as he went over my spine. Hopefully a large one is not your first as most artist will reccomend something small to see how you deal with it first. If you get through one well enough youll get through any others. Location for me has only mattered to the extent of whether or not thier going over a bone. otherwise my back felt just like the others. I have 12 tattoos the one on my back is the largest, covering the area. So if you have a tattoo it will feel the same for the most part except over your spine. Just keep in mind the bigger ones mean more time under the needle. If you dont have any, id reccomend a small little anything anywhere to give you an idea of your pain tolorence. worst thing you could do would be to start a big one clueless and not be able to finish it, and it happens to alot of people. you may even have seen people with the "armband" tattoos that dont go all the way around the underside. lets just say it most likely was not meant to look that way. Otherwise research the shop, and its artists, double check for new needles, NOT just sanatized ones, and enjoy your art. [ jesa21's advice column | Ask jesa21 A Question ]
