How bad does it hurt to get a tattoo on the underside of your wrist?
I want to get a tattoo on the underside of my wrist of a bass clarinet that makes a treble clef. I dont have a high pain tolerance so I need to know on a scale of one to ten how bad that spot hurts.
admin answers:
I don’t know about pain – it probably varies with the individual. However, major arteries, veins, nerves, and tendons pass through that area near the surface. How deep will the tattoo needles penetrate?
Jenny asks…
How much does a vertical industrial piercing hurt?
I have a pretty high pain tolerance. On a scale of 1-10 how much does it hurt?
admin answers:
I would say 9-10
Lizzie asks…
What would happen if you tickled your master?
What would happen if you tickled your master during self defence in martial arts? Do you think someone that has a high pain tolerance could still be ticklish?
admin answers:
Interestingly enough, my instructor isn’t ticklish. Not that this is something I found out personally, but that is what he claims. None of us are willing to call his bluff.
I think it’s just him and has nothing to do with pain tolerance. I don’t know it could even work that way or not. I’m thinking not.
Sandra asks…
How much will it hurt to get a tattoo on the left side of my chest above the heart?
I have medium-high pain tolerance. Never gotten a tattoo before and I’m thin, not flabby.
I know it’s going to hurt a certain amount, I’m prepared for that. I just wanna know what I’m up against.
admin answers:
Don’t listen to sunshine. Drinking before the tattoo will mess it up. Alcohol impedes your ability to clot, which means that the blood coming out of your skin (and yes you will bleed a little) will be more profuse, and the ink won’t sit. He’ll have to redo areas.
It will hurt but it won’t be too terrible. Your natural endorphins should dull the first hour or so. My tattoo on my hip hurt 20 times worse.
Lisa asks…
how to develope high pain tolerance?
admin answers:
By repeatedly exposing yourself to pain. Martial artists repeatedly punch and kick object that are graduated in hardness. The objective to to create thousands of tiny little fractures that heal, and do that over and over. The repeatedly fractured and healed bones become stronger from the experience. This has to be done over time. This process also gradually deadens nerves.
Men who do very heavy work experience this process. A workmans hands become hard and relatively deadened to pain. Not long ago a nurse was trying to take blood from me to check on my blood pressure meds, and she couldn’t find the vein. I told her to use the back my hand. She said that she didn’t want to hurt me. I laughed, “My hand has a greater tolerance for pain.” She did it, and I felt nothing. Years of hard work and busting boards with my fist. The back of my hand is deadened.
Some years back, my dad(in his 70’s) had a pain in his leg and lower back. He was still coon hunting at night. He went to the doctor. The doctor looked at the xray and commented, I don’t know how you walk. Dad had several crushed vertebrae and his spine was seriously out of alignment. His entire life was a life of denying pain. He expected everyone else to do it, too!
Physical pain can be denied and ignored, and the tolerance can be gradually raised.
I’ve learned that if I am involved in a project and my mind is focused there is less pain, or no pain. I can cut myself and ignore it. A wrench slips and you bust your knuckles. You ignore it. When I was in a fight, I felt nothing! Not until the fight was over.
I played with Chi in Kung Fu, and I did a little yoga many years ago. That has always been handy in the dentists office, because I don’t know how to make my mouth tough. I simply find a vast empt space for my mind, a sort of nothingness that I drift into , but remain alert enough to respond to the requests of the dentist.
In Kung Fu we practiced turning our arms into light beams or streams of water, and someone would try to bend our arms. We used no muscle, didn’t even resist and my arm never bent. A Tae Kwon Do Black Belt enrolled in our class expecting to make a big splash. He was a half head taller than me and half again in solid muscle. He got really frustrated that he could bend my arm. He tried everything. When I was changing after class I noticed that he had torn the skin in several places on my bicep. I hadn’t felt a thing.
He never came back. He was all physical. Chi is something very different that comes from a different place.
I don’t know a lot. I just know what I know
I’ve studied a little buddhism, too. “Every problem is an opportunity.”
