It all comes down to where on the body you're getting the tattoo and your individual pain tolerance. For example, almost my entire back is covered and the largest piece took nearly six hours straight to complete and I actually napped through almost half of it. Funny thing, the artist had to wake me up at about the 4-hour mark, asked me how I was doing (which I replied with "fine"), and he said that HE had to take a break because his hand was starting to cramp up, lol. Now the one on the right side of my back? With that one, when it got closer to my side and ribs than my back, I was very much awake for that part.
Typically, any spot where there's little 'meat' between the skin and bone (i.e. ribs, shins, bony spine, collar bone, etc.) will hurt more. Again, a huge factor is your individual pain tolerance. Mine is pretty high, but a person with a lower tolerance might bail out on some tats that were nothing to me. Usually you can ask the artist to do a sort of 'dry run' on you where they run the needle on you but without any ink so you can get the full feel of getting a tattoo to judge for yourself whether or not you can get through it.
