Bon you are talking out of your ar$e if you say it doesnt hurt having a back piece done. I have had my complete back covered and over 24 hours worth doing it (get me a god damn medal I hear you cry) and I can tell you now that there where varying degrees of pain throughout. In fact I would be lying through my teeth if I said it didnt hurt like hell!!!
But worth every second of pain never the less. Guess im just a wimp

The only part which realy hurt to a level that made me think "****ing hell" was right on the edges basically on my side / ribs. When he was doing the first level of shading there.
Anywhere on the center of the back was fine imho, getting shot by a paintball hurts more id say.
I have a couple on various parts of my back, across my shoulder blades and spine, not quite the level of the full back piece, but i'm with bon, it doesnt "hurt", i love the feeling!
i seen men bigger than robbo almost crying getting a basic bit of arm work done lol
bon: where did u get the work done? not my cup of tea but looks like top job!

I had varying degrees of pain throughout my back tatts that went from ...... ouch ! - double ouch ! - Owwwww! - Ahhhh bejeeepers - Holey moley - HOLEY 'FUHKIN' MOLEY! - Eeeeeekkkkk, I want my mummy !!!!
In Bon's defence, I will add this, pain sensation is dependent upon many things, if you haven't dosed up with plenty of carbs, you are gonna feel it, and for some reason, it is also mood dependent.
The sensation and degree of pain isn't linear and not predictable; you also have to factor in that some people just don't feel pain in the normal way, there is a condition whose acronym is CIPA which basically stands for, congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis.
The poor bastids who are born with this condition feel no pain, or even hot and cold.
A couple of kids near me had the misfortune to be diagnosed with this and their mum had an understandable nightmare making sure they were safe as they grew up.
I'm not suggesting Bon has this but there must be intermediate conditions whereby people just don't feel pain in the same way as the rest of us.
And so, whilst Bon may attract the criticism of trying to appear a hard man [which with no disrespect, I know he is not] he could well be one of the [un]lucky people who doesn't feel pain in its most acute form, as do the rest of us.
A full back tattoo job would hurt like hell for most of us, I think in Bon's case, the most pain he's gonna feel with having that tatt done is gonna be with his wallett...... it'll cost a frikkin fortune coz he's gone to Sweden to have it done by some top tattooist ... ouch!
