Savanna says:

I had a tattoo of a lily done on my hip, just outside of the hipbone. Let’s not kid ourselves, it hurts, but it was not as scary as I’d anticipated. A good tattoo artist knows the sensitive parts of the body, and inks in short segments. As soon as they lift up, the pain stops. I would compare it to a very bad sunburn. It hurts a little more when it goes over the bone, but still not unbearable. Hope this helps!
