Tattoos on the inner wrist near the palm are the most sensitive and can be one of the more painful ones on the body. Conversely, the outer or inner sides of the wrist, or the top of the wrist, won't be as bad in comparison. Tattoos on the outer wrist can cause a vibrating pain that isn’t intense, per se, but isn’t exactly a walk in the park due to the proximity to the wrist bone (ulna). The sides of the wrist aren’t as painful. ^{byrdie.com 1 2}
