The question that I get most often from people who do not have 
tattoo's is, "Does it hurt?" and the answer to that question is, "Yes." 
Then their follow up question will be, "What does it fee like?" Of 
course the answer will probably differ from person to person but the 
best way I can describe it is, it feels like you are getting stung by 
hundreds of bees at the same time.
So if you are interested in getting a tattoo, please know that 
getting a tattoo on your body is going to hurt, but there are definitely
 more and less painful places on your body you could get on. So this 
leads me to inform you on the most and least painful places on your body
 to get a tattoo. Please keep in mind every person differs from pain 
levels, this is just a general consensus.
Most Painful
1. The ankles or top of your feet
2. Eyebrows
3. Chest or rib cage
4. Your private areas
5. The elbow
6. Eyelids
7. Knuckles
8. Spine
Least Painful
1. Shoulder
2. Thigh
3. Butt
4. Upper Arm
If I didn't list a particular part of your body you are interested in
 knowing about, just keep this in mind. The more boney and less fatty an
 area on your body is the more painful that tattoo is going to be, due 
to the fact that there is nothing there to help take the pain expect for
 your nerves and skin.

The History Of Tattoos

It is safe to say that nearly 50% of people from the age of 18 to 35 
have at least one tattoo. So one might think were did tattoos come from 
and how long have they been around.The word tattoo comes from the 
Polynesian word, 'tatao', which means to tap or to mark someone. It has 
been reported that tattoos have been around for nearly 5,000 years. 
Archaeologist have found that tattoos can be traced to such countries as
 Egypt, Roman, Greek and Japanese regions. Of course tattoos have not 
always been used for personal body art like most people use them as 
today.
Tattoos over the years have been used for several reasons, such as, 
symbols of rights, symbols of rank and seniority or being juniors, 
symbols of spirituality, devotion, religion, rewards and awards for 
bravery, amulets, talismans and security. Oddly enough tattoos were also
 used as a form a punishment, they were also used to mark someone as an 
outcast, as well as marking slaves and people who have been convicted of
 a crime. 

There are still very few religions out there that require their 
followers to have a certain tattoo indicating that they are part of this
 particular religion and what their status maybe. This is still a common
 practice that is used today by gang members.
The very first electronic tattoo machine was invented in 1890, by 
American tattoo artist named Samuel O'Reilly. This is when the new era 
of tattoo started when people got tattoos on different parts of their 
body not signifying any association to a particular group. However, 
tattoos were still looked upon as non sense and they were only suitable 
for drunkards, sailors and sometimes, criminals.
Ironically, in today's time tattoos are not looked down upon and are 
actually accepted and considered the hip cool thing to have. They are 
now considered as a fashion symbol and not a simple mark.
