Five Painful Places To Get A Tattoo

Part of the experience of getting a tattoo is not knowing in advance how much it will hurt. For some it can be a terribly painful procedure. Others describe it as simply irritating, a "hot scratch" that is easily forgettable compared to the pleasure of wearing a work of art. If you want a tattoo but have a low threshold for pain, opt for fleshy spots like the thigh or bicep. The most painful places are generally the areas with a dense concentration of nerves or wherever the skin and bone are close together, without a layer of fat in between. Unless you go to a doctor for "permanent makeup" tattoos (like eyebrows) rather than a design, you won't get much help with the pain, says charles zwerling, a goldsboro, n.c., eye doctor who specializes in permanent makeup (he uses local anesthesia). Only a doctor can give you a shot of painkiller, and tattoo artists often avoid numbing creams because they require 20 minutes or so to take effect and can prolong the procedure. Like the tattoo itself, pain is personal. What one person finds excruciating might be quite bearable to another. But since you may not know what your tolerance level is until you actually go under the needle, here's a short list of the most potentially painful tattoos places for body ink:
1. The eyeball. Believe it or not, some people do get permanent makeup inside the eye, says zwerling about once a year, a patient asks him to put pigment into a disfiguring blind eye to make it look like a normal one. The many nerves going into the front of the eye would make this an excruciating procedure without anesthesia. (two other popular spots for permanent makeup—the eye brows and lips—are also painful, the lips especially so because of the many nerve endings located there.)
2. The mons pubis. The pain of getting a tattoo down under runs a close second to the lips, says new york laser surgeon bruce katz, who specializes in removing tattoos. There are a lot of nerves, which provide pleasure (as opposed to pain) under different circumstances. If you try this in a tattoo parlor, ask for a cream, advises katz.
3. The top tattoos places of the foot or ankle. Lots of women opt for tattoos in this area so the eye-catching designs will be visible when they're barefoot or wearing sandals during the summer months. But it's also ouch-inducing because of the absence of fat.
4. Behind the ear. A tattoo here can be endearingly sexy. Just remember ladies, there's nothing in this spot but skin and bone—and nerves (though not as many as on your lip surface).
5. The chest (above your rib cage). If you're thin, this might be one time you'd be grateful for a layer of fat around your middle.the absence of padding makes this one of the most painful places for men to get a traditional tattoo.

Tattoo, Seni Atau Identitas Diri ?

Tatto adalah sebuah karya seni menghias bagian tubuh dengan gambar-gambar tertentu untuk membuat bagian tubuh tersebut tampak indah. Di beberapa daerah di dunia, seperti di hawaii, india atau bahkan di kalimantan, tattoo art digunakan sebagai lambang atau penanda kedewasaan seseorang, terutama bagi kaum pria di daerah tersebut.
Namun sebagian masyarakat masih menilai bahwa tatto selalu berhubungan dengan hal yang negatif. Meskipun banyak yang beropini tattoo adalah salah, karena bertentangan dengan norma agama tetapi dewasa ini semakin banyak masyarakat yang membuat tattoo, baik tattoo art permanen maupun temporary. Bahkan, di kalangan selebriti, tattoo adalah sebuah trend, karena banyak sekali selebriti ber-tattoo saat ini.
Kaum selebriti di dunia, terutama di indonesia, baik pria maupun wanita, sangat banyak yang menggunakan tatto galery sebagai penghias badan bahkan indentitas. Salah satu contoh musisi luar negeri, mantan penggebuk drum band motley crue, tommy lee.
Tommy memenuhi badannya dengan tattoo, bahkan sempat dikabarkan bahwa mantan suami pamela anderson itu menjadi ikon beberapa studio tatto galery ternama yang ada di amerika serikat. Dan di indonesia kita bisa melihat badan aktor komedian, tora sudiro yang badannya juga dipenuhi dengan tattoo.
Ada juga beberapa artis wanita indonesia yang cinta akan tattoo untuk menghiasi badannya,dan memiliki lebih dari dua tattoo menempel permanen di badannya, semisal, poppy sovia, imel ten 2 five, dan melanie subono.Tattoos galery memang membutuhkan biaya relatif mahal untuk membuatnya, itu dikarenakan peralatan dan tinta tattoo sangat mahal juga. Selain dikarenakan alasan itu, dengan mahalnya membuat sebuah tatoo, masyarakat juga akan berpikir beberapa kali untuk membuat tattoo, karena tattoo permanen sulit untuk dihilangkan, meskipun mungkin, akan membutuhkan dana lebih banyak untuk ke spesialis kulit dan melakukan operasi laser untuk menghapus tattoo tersebut.
Jadi, untuk masyarakat yang ingin membuat tattoo permanen, dianjurkan untuk berpikir dua kali sebelum membuatnya. (kpl/dna)
