I am getting my first tattoo on my lower back but it will be off to the side and not over my spine, I have read a lot of conflicting information about if it would hurt more than other places. On a scale of 1 to 10 how much would it hurt?

My favorite tattoo is of a dove on my left rist. It represents the first time my boyfriend kissed me, on my wrist, I fell in love with him. And when I fell in love with him, I felt peace, and peace is like a dove.
What about you?

I’m not planning to get a tattoo soon or in the next year or so, but I want to know what to expect in the future. I’m not bent on a certain design, but I know I want one down my back. Right where the spine is, there might be some small designs going on my shoulder blades.
