I met a traveler from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Rey has also observed, in her own experience and through her clients, that as a result of both nerves and bones the “lower back or spine is the area where people are most likely to have a bad time.”

Areas of the body that are bony, especially under relatively thin skin, are nearly always more uncomfortable to get tattooed than areas with thicker skin and greater underlying fat, like the upper arm or thigh. The boniness of the area is also an important factor, according to Alba Rey, resident artist at Berlin’s UNIKAT tattoo studio.
This is also the reason “tattoos that span over the spine may send strange sensations or buzzes down your arms or throughout your body,” she says.īut nerves are only one of the reasons spine tattoos tend to hurt more than others. And because these nerves are so plentiful there, the spine is more sensitive to pain. The spinal area is home to a large number of sensory nerves-the nerves responsible for our response to all physical sensation, including the puncture of a tattooer’s needle. “It’s a major part of the nervous system,” explains Portland-based tattooer Seven McDougall. And, in general, the spine is a more uncomfortable location for ink than others. Still, while it’s impossible to say for certain how much pain a spine tattoo will inflict, it is possible to promise that it will cause at least a bit of discomfort. Two people getting matching designs in exactly the same location can experience very different levels of discomfort because each has a unique pain tolerance.
How painful is a spine tattoo, though? Like every other tattoo, regardless of placement, it really depends.
