Really? Weird. I didn't feel a thing on my wrist, just vibrations. The elbow was probably the worst, it actually hurt a bit. I enjoy getting tattooed. I don't think the pain is bad, pretty relaxing actually. The only time it gets uncomfortable is when you've been working in one little spot for hours. My inner forearms each took forever. My left inner forearm piece took 7 hours and then a 1 hr touch up, the 7 hours there by the last couple hours the paper towels felt like sandpaper even with lube. Lol
