Mine are on my calves and are larger pieces. I'd say maybe a 4 out of 10, except when the artist was going back into areas that had been previously outlined and were already sore. Then it was a 5 to 6. The way I had to sit (with my leg cocked to the side for about 2 hours at a crack) was way more painful. I describe getting a tattoo as more irritating than painful. When I got home (about 3-4 hours later) it felt like my leg was on fire, though. That hurt more than the actual tattooing process but didn't last too long.

Yes. I think it's around 7/10..

depends on what part of the body they are on. I truly believe they are going to hurt a little bit(but you can handle it) or just a little annoying. /For example, i have one on my hip that didn't really hurt, it was just annoying, i have one on my lower back which was a little bit more tender

depends on the body part, depends on your pain tolerance, depends on how much coloring too. On a scale of one to 10--give the same answer to your pain tolerance, and take a gravol, this will help you relax without taking a narcotic.

i heard that at first it feels like a bee sting just for a couple seconds then as you feel it moving it doesnt really hurt as much.

Yes, they hurt. Some parts hurt a lot more than others. Anything over bones will feel like a 15 according to your scale. This goes for really sensitive areas like near your arm pit or the back of your knee.
Tattoos on fatty parts or muscles are around a 7.

It depends on the individual. It will ALWAYS hurt a little, but for some, it barely stings. I would say most of the body ranges between a 1 and a 6. Once you get into bony/thin skinned areas, like the collarbones, ankles, neck, lower back, spinal area, and places like the back sides of your upper arms, it get to be about a 7 or 8. I've never known someone who had one that hurt badly enough to make them shout or anything.
