Man with over 200 tattoos reveals the most and least painful place to get inked

A self-proclaimed tattoo addict has disclosed which parts of the body are most painful when you go under the needle.

"Neon Demon" Soren Lorenson, aged 28, fell in love with tattoo after getting his first one - a tree around his belly button - a decade back, soon after he turned 18 years old.

Soren Lorenson said he decided on the area around his navel because a friend told him it was the most painful area.

His thought was to get the " worst spot " out of the way first, he said.

It took another one year before Soren got his second ink, however, from that time he was hooked and became a regular at one particular parlour in Tampa, Florida - visiting every other week for months.

To begin, Soren chose artwork from his favourite films and comics like Marvel's X-Men and Star Wars, the US Sun reports.

Soren now has over 200 tattoos all over his body, with his face studded with crosses and letters, and even the whites of his eyes blacked.

Astonishing, Soren says the eyeball procedure was "painless".

However, there are a few parts Soren admits were utterly painful, including the work on his belly, ribs and the shaded black-work in his jawline.

Soren said: "Any boney parts are a little more jarring due to the vibrating and intense sensation in comparison to other areas."

Of the hundreds of artwork, Soren says his favourite is the "cute lil' kitty cat linework design" which he inked himself while in college because he "adore[s] cats".

Soren loves the way he look, but his religious family are not fully supportive of his life choices.

As soren was home-schooled through his childhood, he rarely communicated with people outside of his church or family.

But when he became 17, he got in contact with a bad crowd and started "drinking heavily" and smoking "two packs of cigarettes" per day - as a way of rebelling against his disciplinarian parents.

According to Soren, he chose to tattoo the most visible part of his body, his face, once he had broken free of the partying lifestyle.

The 28-year-old is also vehement about nutrition and fitness, and feels that learning about staying healthy paired with his tattoo passion has a "positive influence on my mental health".

But his ink pursuits have called several spats in personal relations.

Soren said his parents and nine younger siblings still love him "for the most part" but his mum and dad have told him to seek God's help and expressed that they will never understand his life choices.

However he is estranged from his wider family, like his grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles, who he's no longer in touch with.

According to Soren, reactions from people to his tattoos are mixed, with some fascinated and others making rude remarks.

Positive questions include whether this or that tattoo hurt, or whether he is wearing contact lenses to darken his eyes.

The rude strangers, however, ask him what's wrong with him and what made him do it.
