How bad to rib tattoos hurt?

I'm getting a rib tatto next week, it's nothing HUGE, it's just a fancy looking sailors sparrow just under my bra strap on my left side.

Can anyone tell me HONESTLY how bad it's going to hurt?

I really love this tattoo and I'm going to get it, I just want to prepare myself! I have a small tattoo on the top of my spine just below my neck: is the pain like that?

Also any tip on dealing with the pain? Xx

    I just had a tattoo done on my ribs 2 week's ago. I was told it wouldn't be that painful and after 15 min I would be numb. I WAS IN HORRIBLE PAIN THE ENTIRE 3 HOUR'S AND 15 MINUTE'S! I had a tattoo done on my lower spine year's back and I thought that was bad....That was nothing compared to the one done on my ribs.

    ANYTHING on a bone might have you in tears, some people even pass out from rib tattoos. Ribs, spine, feet, and skull are the most painful places to get tattoos. But sounds like it should take about 2 or 3 hours if it's in color, you'll be fine and the pain will be over shortly'(:
