It all depends on your tolerance of pain? How well can you tolerate pain? Also the bonier the area, the more pain - hence the ribs and top of foot are the most painfull. What part of your arm are you getting inked? Myself, I would compare the pain to scratching a really bad sunburn, and the pain isn't so bad that I don't want to finish a session. I have 4 tattoos, and plan on getting many more. I'm skinny too (5'6 - 110 lbs), so I'm almost as skinny as you can get, and to me the pain isn't so bad.

If its something small then I don't think you'll need to worry too much about pain. I've never been tattooed on the inside of the lower arm, so I'm not sure about pain, but I would think it wouldn't be that bad because its not directly on a bone like your ribs or foot. Just remember to eat a meal before you go out to get inked and bring a bottle of water or juice with you for your session.

I just recently got one on my shoulder blades (two, if you take
into consideration that they're wings).  Pretty bony area,
hence the pain feeling like cat scratches on a nasty sunburn.
 I had a death grip on the chair I was sitting in, but in my
opinion, the pain is worth it.  I don't know what having one
on the inside of your arm would be like, but I would guess that
because there's tender skin there that you will have some pain.
 If you're only getting a small tat, though, you shouldn't
have a problem.  Like Liz said, have something to eat before
you go, and bring a bottle of water.  I went through two
waters during my session.

I spend 5 hours in a chair for the detail in mine after the first 30 minutes my arm went num and I actually enjoyed it :p The inside of the arm is going to be a little bit more tender then the outside but a little shamrock I would think would not be a big deal

Hey there...I think you are talking about the forearm. I have 1 on each of mine. Each are full color and about 2 inches by 4 inches. That area didn't really hurt much at all. At most it is uncomfortable. The very inside of my arm is where there was the most uncomfort. It's a really cool spot though so good luck with that dude!
