During the tattoo, you will experience a little bit of discomfort. Everybody is different and every tattoo location on your body is going to feel a little bit different, but it is not going to be enough to make you get up and run out of the chair. Be patient - the tattoo will be over before you know it. There are certain spots on the body that you will experience more discomfort than others, it just depends on where your nerve endings are. It doesn't have much to do with fat or bone or anything like that.
