Outline tattoos are the easiest to get, the least painful, and the cutest ones to throw in the mix, in my opinion.
Fine line tattoos are so trendy, and while we don’t necessarily want to follow trends with our tattoos, I love them anyway and think they’re going to be a great, classic piece to have.

How Much Does It Hurt?
The pain level of tattoos are full dependent on different factors about you and about the tattoo itself. If you have a high pain tolerance, you likely won’t have any problems with most of the tattoos in this post. They’re pretty laid back.
But if you have a low pain tolerance, and you choose a larger and more detailed piece, it’s going to be a bit more painful.
The more sensitive spots to get tattoos that are also common placements are:
- Hands
- Ankles
- Soft inner and upper arm
- Spine
- Ribs
This is due to the softness of the skin or the boniness of the spot. The softer the skin and the thinner the skin on top of a bone is likely to be more sensitive.
But I have a low pain tolerance and do just fine with these placements! So don’t stress too much about it.
Anything artfully designed can be made into a stunning sleeve, but I love the idea of these tattoos as patchwork pieces. If that’s your style of tattoo, this is a perfect next piece.
Just a little cup of Joe, always a part of your body art, just like it’s always a part of your morning routine.
I hope one of these ideas speaks to you as your next piece, and you walk away with the best coffee cup tattoo we’ve ever seen!
