Choosing the right skin part is very important. Pain will be considerably less if you get the tattoo applied on your thigh instead of the inner arm. The general rule is, more fleshy the body part, less painful it will be to get a tattoo.

Be careful while choosing the tattoo design. Prefer a design which is very simple and does not involve a whole patch of skin being covered. Since a simple tattoo design requires less needlework, the pain will be much less as compared to getting a tattoo with complex designs and lots of shading involved.
