Yep, you're right there! Normally areas like the ankles hurt more for that reason - the bone is more prominent and there's less skin there. That's probably part of the reason why my calf tattoo didn't hurt badly but my friend's wrist tattoo did. I'm getting two tattoos at the end of the month, one on the calf and one on the shoulder blade and I expect the shoulder blade to hurt more because of the prominent bone.
