The flower was pretty tender in a few spots, more towards my back was the worst. It was also the 4th tattoo in a day so i was pretty tired of being tattoo'd. I can't say how bad ribs hurt, its the only areas i have tattoo'd
See my other pictures....
i'm sorry that your not happy with it. i like the colours! did it hurt getting a tat there because i have something planned for that spot and going all the way up my ribs.
