Lower back tattoos can hurt moderately due to the area's sensitivity. The pain feels like a sharp, stinging sensation, often compared to a cat scratch or needle pricks. The lower back has thinner skin and is close to the spine and bones, which can make it more uncomfortable than fleshier areas like the arms. Pain levels vary based on personal tolerance, tattoo size, and the artist's technique. Using numbing cream and taking breaks can help. Most people find the pain manageable, and it typically subsides within a few hours after the session.
