Tattoos hurt
You're getting poked with a tiny needle (or array of needles) thousands of times a minute for hours at a time. Some areas definitely hurt more than others. The shin area was pretty painful, but the meatier part of my leg was much more tolerable.
This one took about 4-4.5 hours total.
I have a small tattoo that took like 30 min or less but it was upper back and not a sensitive area, so I was wondering what a real tattoo experience is like.
So you sat there for 4.5 hours in a row? Brutal.
