Collection: Rib Tattoos for Men

Rib tattoos are often very painful for men because the skin is thin, close to bones, and full of nerves. Most describe the pain as sharp or burning, rating it 7-9 out of 10. Areas directly over ribs hurt more than fleshier spots. Pain depends on personal tolerance, tattoo size, and the artist's technique. Numbing creams can help ease discomfort. Expect soreness for a few days after. Choose a skilled artist to minimize pain and ensure a good result. Proper aftercare is key to healing well and reducing irritation.
