Does getting a tattoo on your upper back hurt?
It's going to be my first tattoo, and I'm pretty skinny. I was just curious if its going to hurt. Please don't say anything to worry me about getting it though.

Nope! I just got one there on Saturday. It felt like taking a safety pin ad dragging across your skin with little pressure. I give it a 1/2 out of 10. Totally bearable. And afterwards it feels like a sunburn. If you're scared of the pain you can take two Tylenol before hand, just don't take anything else cause pills like Advil will make you bleed more. Also make sure you eat before hand and have a sugary drink ready to have during the tattoo if you need it because it will keep you from getting lightheaded

I got my tattoos at 17. 3 in one day in the most painful places.
You'll be fine. Drink lots of water before and just relax. It'll feel like something poking a sunburn. I thought it'd be way worse.
Make sure it's something you won't regret! I regret one of mine!
Good luck :)

Depends on who you ask. I tbought my upper back tattoo hurt, but it wasn't terrible. I felt most of the pain in my elbows though, from hitting the different nerves in my back. My elbows hurt more than my back did when I was done.
