i have my last name which is 9 letters long starting right under my arm pit and goes down my side to the bottom of my hip bone. there isnt many other places where it hurts more than the spots this covers. you just need to go to your happy place when its being done, and life seems a bit more interesting everyday after.

for those who have them, what can the "pain" be compared to?

Depends on the spot where you'll be inked, and your tolerance for pain. It's a bunch of needles injecting ink just below the surface of the skin at pretty fast speeds. I've seen a guy about 6'1" 220 get up every 5 minutes when he was getting a tattoo in between his shoulder blades. A friend of mine is pretty small, 5'4" 130, and sat through an entire session without getting up once for the tattoo in the same spot where the bigger guy got his or for the one he got on his kidney.

All depends on the person and the location.

Getting a bad sunburn and then rubbing it with sandpaper. Good news is that as soon as the needle stops - the pain stops. I have 6 and my last was done on my inner bicep up to the armpit. There were a few involuntary twitches that made the tattooist uneasy.

mine is going on my back in between my shoulder blades.. it starts at the bottom of my neck. 7" long about 5 wide. It's an italian tarot card design that was drawn up by an artist I know.

I've just had my first one done, a celtic band around my left bicep, I have to go back for the coloring but I don't know what color to have yet, I have seen some good ones with the inside colored green.
