Good luck with your tattoo! What are you getting done?
I agree with the poster above though, usually tattooist epect nerves and chances are they've dealt with some very uncomfortable customers before you! Be honest with them and tell them if the pain is getting too much and you need a moment. They may be able to offer you a drink or some time to collect yourself enough to carry on.
I think where you get it done and how much is hurts differ from person to person. I don't have any tattoos myself but I've heard that areas where the skin is quite thin - such as ankles - can be more painful as there's less padding and the bone is so prominent. However, I know people who have said that it didn't hurt them personally at all! So it really will depend on your threshold for pain and how sensitive the skin is there for you. Like I say, be honest with them. Let them know if it is too painful, many of them have had painful tattoos done themselves and will definitely understand.

I hope it all goes well!
