As the poster below me said, everyone has a different pain tolerance. I have a high pain tolerance and a tattoo about the size of my palm on my back, right between my shoulder blades. It took a little over an hour, I think, to get it done.
On a scale of 1-10, mine hurt at about an 8 for the first 20 minutes, and then was more like a 4 because I got used to it and numbed up - then all I felt was the vibration from the machine. I didn't even feel the needle. It felt like cat scratches at first, though, which I was also used to, as I have a cat who likes to play a little rough...
Most of my tattoo is right over my spine and some on my shoulder blades - anywhere over bone hurts more because there's less padding, and the machine vibrates a LOT. On bone, it feels like the needle is going into your bone and shaking your whole body. Once there's a little bit of fat, though, it's a lot less intense.
Honestly, you probably won't wanna hear this, but I wouldn't recommend getting a tattoo on your hand unless you're prepared to be judged, including by every future employer. I might suggest getting one on your foot, or on your hip, on your arm - somewhere that you can cover up if you so desire, or show if you also desire. That element of control might be important in the future.
I was going to get mine on the back of my neck, but at the time I was doing a lot of performing. I wanted to be able to put my hair up and not shock my audience.
Then again, I'm not sure what you're planning to get, and mine is a big butterfly made of music symbols and tribal lines. If it's, like, a little tiny heart or something, you could probably get away with getting it on your hand. If it's something bigger though, I'd reconsider the placement.

I thought it was pretty painful. I would say the pain would be equivalent to having a red hot knife scraped against your skin. From what I heard, areas that are over bone hurt the most. If there's a lot of fat in the area it won't hurt as much. And it will be sore for the next week or so, and then it will become itchy as it peels.

I can't tell you how much it will hurt because everyone has a different pain tolerance.
I can tell you from experience, Tattoo's do hurt a little bit and if I got to give you an example..Well, Picture yourself having a lot of shots in your arm?
They say the least painful tattoo's are on the shoulder, upper arm and lower leg area.
Good luck

Do tattoos hurt?...yes. on a scale of 1-10 I would say a ten. But it all dependad on your pain tolerance. Generally the feet ribs hands hip bones and spine are said to be the most painful. Anything that is coming in direct contact with your bone is extremely painful.
I'm all for tattoos I think they can be extremely beautiful, but just remember...when you get one on your hand its one of the first things people will notice about you. Especially future employers
