Ear Tattoos Are The Painful New Ink Trend Popping Up Everywhere

Every person experiences pain differently, but there's no denying that getting a tattoo hurts. When you're getting stabbed over and over again in the same spot by as many as 20 sharp needles, it only makes sense that you'll experience some painful sensations, but the stunning end results are worth the pain if you choose to get inked up.

Certain parts of the body hurt to get tattooed more than others, especially ones that are not very fatty. It would make sense, then, that getting your inner ear tattooed would be a tender process, given the thin skin inside the ear canal.

Despite the pain associated with tattooing the ear, ear tattoos have become the hot new trend in the tattoo world.

Brave souls with a high pain tolerance have gotten ear tattoos of everything from cobwebs to conch shells. Even though the ear is a small canvas for a tattoo, people are getting quite creative with their designs!

Even though I have a few tattoos myself, I don't think I could ever handle the pain of an ear tattoo!
