My birthday is coming up and I was thinking about getting my first tattoo! I really like the idea of a butterfly tattoo (they've been very symbolic for me). I'm indecisive about placement, I really like the inner upper arm and the ribcage but do those spots hurt more/less?

I would really appreciate it :)
It's assumed it hurts more in the ribs, BUT it really depends on the person and their pain tolerance. Both places are sensitive, tho.

Both of those places are going to hurt. Rib cage - because there's not a lot of fat and it's directly on your bones. Just pinch your inner arm and you'll see why that will hurt.
