Elbow tattoos can hurt more than tattoos on fleshier areas because the skin is thin and close to the bone. The pain level varies, but many describe it as a sharp, stinging sensation, sometimes with a burning or vibrating feeling. It’s often rated as moderate to high pain, especially near the elbow’s point. Numbing creams or breaks during the session can help. Pain tolerance differs, so some may find it manageable, while others feel more discomfort. Aftercare is key to avoid irritation. Consult your tattoo artist for tips.
