I want a tattoo but I'm scared of needles. Any suggestions on how I can have the best of both worlds??

I've heard tattoos hurt though. Are there any places on the body that hurt less than others?

@pearltwin66: Yes the outside of the upper arm (shoulder) is practically painless while the inside of the arm is excruciatingly painful. (have both done). Generally where the skin is thick the pain is minimal where the skin is thin or close to the bone it is more painful.

Gotcha. Thanks for the advice!
