              I totally forget about the ones on my shoulders. I was surprised to see I had a large back tattoo the other day.

                @Matt Hah! My arms are completely done, and I'm deciding if I go chest or back next. I've heard a few times that sternum is the most painful spot to get tattooed, so most of me thinks I should just bite the bullet and get it over with.

                  I didn’t mind it. Definitely was not my most painful. I think it varies by person.

                    I hated my calfs, back, wrists and certain pets of my hands.

                        How bad are the armpits to get done?

                          Second is my back peice progress. It's done now...

                              I have the full upper body done minus the strip down the middle of my chest and the armpits. My tattooist and I had long conversations about the armpits…he said they are a pain in the ass to tattoo, hurts like hell, and doesn’t take ink that well.

                              I passed but always wondered just how bad it was from someone who’s had it done.

                                It's actually intended to be a mirror. Design is a Polito original, with the idea that you're looking at your reflection and realizing that you're evil. I have a version done by Akira Latanzio a few years ago.

                                      Not sure how I just came across this thread, but I've been collecting for close to 20 years now. The upside to being almost completely covered is that over the last several months I've been able to justify becoming completely unemployable.

                                        @Matt I feel like my pain threshold isn't too bad? You're right, maybe it's just a person to person thing. The only spot I've found to be miserable was the weird fleshy part of my underarm arm near the armpits. Elbows and ditches weren't very fun at all but weren't as bad as I anticipated.

                                        That's awesome @jskidder, one of my favorite tattoo designs but I admittedly didn't know the meaning.

                                          I actually did my hands and neck on purpose so my wife couldn’t force me to work a real job again after I quit the corporate world.
