The explanation was much appreciated, but damn I'm gonna have to move my tattoo now! I can't do that to an artist. I'm getting a piece of art out of it, they just get a bad back and that's a sucky deal.

@@signommi6660 my man, you’re telling me you think it’s unrealistic for a young tattoo artist to be living on the road? Might wanna try leaving your hometown some time.
I am happy to say I have both of my armpits tattooed. It was almost painless, but I never thought of the struggle for my artist. Not all heroes wear capes.
I got my 2nd tattoo on the right side of my neck from ear to collarbone almost. I sat as still as possible. My artist thanked me multiple times and said he would do any tattoo I wanted in the future since I held still so well. It really does make a huge difference to the artist.
Ponys analogy about the ribcage was super insightful! I never knew it to be that way but it totally makes sense. Also this season’s cast is so pretty ahhhh genesis, anthony, alisha, & nora!!
My first tattoo was right across my right rib cage. It was really not the worst for me (my spine was) but I certainly did hold my breath while the needle was on me.
I just did 6 hours on my ribs I honestly didn't think it was that bad my spine didn't really bother me either I have a full back piece but my chest around my nipples to me has been my most painful spot
@@tommytaylor5889 there is a movie called house on haunted hill tho. It's an og and way worth seeing and it even has a remake it was so baller back in the day.
Can confirm, ribs are hell. My rib tattoo was 3 straight hours of just gritting my teeth and crushing my friend’s hand.I deal with pain on a constant, daily basis, but that experience was absolutely the worst pain I’ve felt so far.
I'm stupid proud that I sit well. My tattoo last Saturday crept up the side of my neck and while I was resigning myself to my life choices and my leg was twitching, nothing moved from the waist up. Did have to ask for a few seconds to compose myself near the end, though. Neck sucks. The key is to breathe. For the love of god, keep your breathing easy. Makes all the difference, especially with nausea.
Daddy??? 🤣 A suggestion to the editor: Use Daddy Issues by The Neighbourhood as the background song every time the word ‘Daddy’ comes. 😎 Also, Pony Lawson makes me blush!
When I got my lower leg tattooed I kept twitching really a lot. I tried my best to be still but those twitches were completely outside of my control. I kept apologizing to the artist because I could only imagine how annoying that must have been. I'm an artist myself (not a tattoo artist though) so I know how frustrating it is to draw on a surface that keeps moving. For example when riding a car or whatever. I also expected there would be a lot of wiggly lines where I twitched during the tattoo session, and I was prepared to fully accept it if that happened, but I was suprised every line was super neat. Sometimes sitting still actually isn't physically possible. Of course you shouldn't be deliberately wiggling around though.
how i understand why my tattooer was SO nervous abt my first tattoo being a bug one on the ribs.... luckily for both of us i have a great pain tolerance and picked up a way of breathing that did not interfere wuth his tatooing after a while but man it was hard
9:39 he mentioned it was painful to get tattooed where he was lasered. Lazering can occasionally cause a bit of skin damage and scarring. Tattooing scars typically is much more painful than unscarred skin.
i didnt realize how difficult the ribs are for the artist to tattoo. I really appreciated the explanation. Both of my ribs are tattooed & those are my only ones.
I have a tattoo on my right rib cage, i definitely get that it’s painful for people but for me the outline was the worst, the shading was a bit of a breeze
I had my throat done (I was told I'd cry like a 4 year old girl) and it was not at all bad...for me at least but my artist?? I have a very prominent carotid artery that pulses quite strongly and part of the work was on top of that...he was scared crazy he was going to open it up and I'd bleed to death right in front of him! But we got through it...then I went back 2 more times for additional work in that spot. I'm not sure he'd ever want to do a throat/neck tattoo again after all that! But i like it!
My uncle has been a tattoo artist pretty much his entire life and he told me the only place he will not tattoo is the skull. The skin moves too much and it's super sensitive.
I have a spinal cord injury, and when I had my thigh tattoo, I had to keep apologising to the tattooist. As soon as it got towards the back of my thigh, My leg kept twitching, no matter how hard i tried to stop it!! When I go for my calf tattoo, I’m gonna pre warn the tattooist.
I never thought neck tattoos would be annoying for artists to do but cause the skin is pretty loose depending on how you pull it/move I can totally see why. Also how would someone sit to get their shoulder blade tattooed? I have an idea for one of mine (I've never been tattooed before) but I'm thinking of starting somewhere smaller first.
I didn’t know this channel existed until today and am literally 23 videos in and I see the bit with the family turning the TV off, needing a hobby and I feel personally attacked. Lol
The worst for me was still my chest and that’s why it’s not coloured in yet 😂😂 half way through the beard on Spaulding (inner right lower leg, right side of beard is near the back of my leg) I had to tap out and stretch it into two sittings. But it was all good, wasn’t the first time a beard has hurt me 😂😂
The one girl, Bruja, looks like she's playing Lisa Bonet from the 90s. I bet I could google Lisa and find that exact outfit and hairstyle. Literally thought she had recently been to a Halloween party because it seems so close.
Underboob tattoo is what got me 🤣 it was just so tender and then going towards the ribs, I thought I was gonna die 😂 (I didn’t get a basic chandelier. I got an octopus)
Had my ribs tattooed and it was hypnotizingly nice pain, it really was. I hate pain, I do, i have a half fished mushroom right above my knee cuz i could not stand the pain
For me, the back of the hand/wrist was more painful then the ribs. Back of the Hand and wrist, to me, felt like i kept getting needles shoved right into my bones the whole damn time and my whole arm would vibrate with the needle cuz the vibrations would travel right through my bones like a car on a highway xD
My foot hurt more than my ribs. My foot kept jumping. I kept apologizing to the artist. It’s the one tattoo I’m unhappy with because it’s messy, but I just couldn’t keep still.
Sorry if this is a dumb question…. Hear me out because I’ve been thinking about this for a couple years…. Can I be a tattoo artist who only does calligraphy and wording? I suck at drawing :( I’ve practiced all my life and I’m just not good lol but I have great penmanship and my calligraphy is pretty damn good! Would I still be able to be a tattoo artist?
The ribs hurt me the most by far. And I have pretty much had every limb tattooed. Ribs for 5 hours, especially when it's big dark, blackwork. Trust me! Not an easy day.
I always thought artists hated ribs just because of how painful it is for people to be tattooed there, and that they sit bad, but I never thought about the skin differences and the twisting and turning
Thats why i got my rib cage done first on the side. In hindsight it’s not a great tattoo anymore but I’ve endured that pain so almost everything else will be a piece of cake
I have both sides of my neck done and that was a cakewalk for me. I want my ribs done but i still have room on my right leg and my left leg so ribs will be the last thing to be tatted. Im working on getting my throat done and I was worried about breathing and swallowing while he tattoos me and my apple moves
I have a goal of getting a lot of coverage but I'm just going to go ahead and skip the ribs. I'm okay with places like the elbow ditch but I don't think I could sit through an entire tattoo of that sort of pain.
The worst for me, out of 9, was a quarter sized smiley face inside my heel. Its directly below the inside ankle bone and on a hot bed of nerves. Super soft skin, hurt a ton! Plus he had to pin my foot under his thighs and I was sitting in a weird almost yoga position.
I got a ribcage tattoo as my first tattoo and god I felt so bad during and after it for my artist because I was breathing so horribly and needed so many breaks 😅 it was supposed to take 4ish hours and ended up taking a bit over 5.
Watching this after having to tap out after 5 hours of my armpit flap/shoulder, I don't feel as bad for needing to quit. Lmao I still just feel bad for my artist not being able to finish the background he started
My chest piece was so awkward ti get bc it's exactly what pony said. My artist put himself in weird positions to get ink and tattoo my chest/ribs. I love my artist tho he's amazing lol
I'm not going to deny that tattooing ribs is difficult but for me it wasn't that painful. Thr dude that did my ribs also did my sternum and fingers and of all of them my fingers hurt the most. I don't feel that he was heavy handed but it felt like he was coming through the webbing of my fingers. But hey 8 years later they're still pretty solid and yhe parts that fell put were minimal.
They're talking about moving. I had such a hard time with my knee cap. I say so we'll for the bit on the thigh, then she got back to the knee cap and in advance I told her I apologize for twitching because it was such a word angle.
I was getting a tattoo on my ankle and my leg twitched, I felt so bad lmao I was sitting there looking at memes and he kept asking if I was ok, and its like yea?
The fact that I'm aware of how bad I am at being completely still is one of the main reasons I haven't gotten one, my muscles just have a mind of their own man
I love that Pony explained why it's difficult to tattoo on the ribcage, it makes me appreciate him even more!
I admire him. Perhaps falling in love a little. 🤤
Good luck to him 👏👏

I had my rib done. A 12 in long. Not bad at all.
Yes great explanation of why you might reconsider a rib tattoo
