Collection: Back Tattoos for Men

Back tattoos for men hurt moderately, like a sharp, buzzing scratch, similar to a pencil poking your skin. The upper back, with more muscle, is less painful than the spine or lower back, where bones are closer and it stings like a strong pinch. Pain varies—some guys shrug it off, others feel it more. It’s like a quick, intense tickle. Numbing cream or breaks can ease it. Ask your tattoo artist for tips, and think about the awesome back tattoo you’ll show off!
