It depends, for me, on the location of the tattoo, where I am going, who is tattooing me.. etc..
My leg tattoos were all pretty easily, my cupcake tattoo didn't hurt at all (but I was way drunk) my arm pieces hurt to varying degrees depending on how calm I was, and how close they got to my inner arm. The chest piece hurt horribly the whole time. Afterwords usually the muscle is sore for a day, and the skin is a little tender.
