It makes a big, big difference where on your body you get them.

Essentially, the less muscle/fat in an area, or if you're near a nerve near the skin, the more it will hurt.
 
My dad passed away in a cycling accident when I was younger. Of course I used this as an excuse to get a tattoo. I had planned on doing a bigger piece on my upper right back including a wheel and what not. So, I started with his initials in his hand writing which was kind of bold and blocky but a little off.

Years later I never did anything more than his initials and because his writing looked a little odd people ask me if my tattoo artist was drunk. I've thought about completing it/doing more but as I've gotten older, I'm not taking my shirt off much so 🤷‍♂️

I love the ink @GoHeelsweeeehoooo! I tried to play Elder Scrolls a handful of times but never had the attention span to make it past the first hour haha. I regret that. Star Wars is obviously great.
 
No tattoos but plenty of scars. Just different ways of telling stories about your life.

As others have said, it depends. I have two large tattoos on both rib cages, and yes, they hurt like hell. But worth it. I have another bold lettering that spans top of my pelvis down my leg. Top hurt but bottom not so much.

Maybe I'll share photos after I lose my holiday weight. Lol. Although the pelvis/leg tattoo probably too risque here. Ha!

This reminds me of Tim Russert telling the story of his son getting a tattoo. He was not pleased when his wife told him that the boy had gotten a tattoo, so he called him in and began berating him. "We talked about this, you were not supposed to get a tattoo, let me see it." His son pulled up his shirt and revealed the initials of Russert's father (which were also Russert's initials) and said "I always want to have you and Pop (or whatever he called his grandpa) on my side," at which point Russert said "that's the greatest tattoo I've ever seen"...
 
As one of the board's olds m I am guessing a few of you remember when "chicks" might have a butterfly tat on their butt or ankle. A bit out there at the time.
