Collarbone tattoos can hurt quite a bit because the skin is thin and close to the bone. There isn’t much fat or muscle to cushion the needle, so many people feel sharp or intense pain in this area. The closer the tattoo is to the bone, the more it usually hurts. Pain levels can vary based on your personal pain tolerance. For some, it's very uncomfortable, while others may handle it better. Even though collarbone tattoos can be painful, many people still choose them for their bold look. Talk to your tattoo artist to help prepare for the pain.
