The least painful places for a woman to get a tattoo are areas with less nerve endings and thicker skin like the outside of your shoulders or the outside of your upper thighs.

For example, with an outer forearm tattoo you will want the key elements of the design to sit in the flattest and most visual region of the arm. This can be found between the ulna bone (the bone you can feel running from elbow to wrist) and where the arm begins to wrap around and becomes the inner forearm area.
