Does a calf tattoo Hurt?

Q. I have Several tattoos and know about how much pain to expect from the tattoo itself, Im wondering if anyone has a calf tattoo and if so how big is it and how bad did it hurt? on a pain scale of like 1-10.

Thanks!

A. Calf tattoos are one of the most painful along with the ribs and chest. One of my friends got a celtic cross tattoo about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide on the back of his right calf, it took about 3 hours, and he's admitted to it being the most painful 3 hours of his life. Then you get the people who say it depends on your pain tolerance, but tattoos hurt to begin with. You already know that, and so did my friend. He's got full sleeves and one that comes a little onto his chest. Most people say it's worth it because when it's done, it's beautiful, but that's when you have to take the future into consideration. I placed my tattoos where it doesn't look terrible depending on my attire, and most I'm able to hide. But I saw a woman well into her 50's at a graduation ceremony recently with a huge tattoo on her calf and it looked horrific. If you can push the idea of temporary pain aside, it's a call only you can make.

A. Depends on what style too and what will suit you. Also what looks timeless and classy. Theres so much choice and its a huge space to fill.vJapanese style is always nice and you cant go wrong if you get a good artist who specialises in it. You could get geometric patterns. You could get black and grey filigree which Always looks stunning. Flowers etc always are timeless. Look on tumblr. Pinterest. Etc. Theres so many ideas. Some flowers have meaning. You could have something like an animal, person as the focal point. Or just natural landscape as a back ground. Or you could habe no background just object or pattern/flower/vines as suggested or tree as the piece. Look at japanese art. Or other fine artists. Tattoo styes:traditional. Old school, Black and grey. Tribal. Realism. Bio mechanical. Etc you . Find a style. Then find a good artist. Thats the most important. Even if its more expensive. Worth the art and the investment.
