I've gotten 10 tattoos in the past 7 years, and although I've been less than pleased about how a couple came out, I don't regret a SINGLE bit of any one of them. I love the experience of getting a tattoo almost as much as the finished product, and they really do become a part of who you are.
You've seen my ink before, so I won't bore you with that. LOL! I have tattoos on my chest, bicep, calf, ankle, the back of my neck, and wrists. The least painful so far have been the bicep and calf - meaty areas typically hurt less. The most painful was the ankle - bony areas typically hurt more. I don't have any on my torso (and probably never will), so I can't vouch for how that'll feel. But the pain is temporary... I tend to think it's nothing you can't get through if you want it bad enough.
To me, a tattoo feels like being scratched on a sunburn - it's more irritating than painful.
If you have anything else you want to know, just ask! Actually, this is well-timed... I'm getting tattoos #11 and 12 on Tuesday, if all goes well.
