What areas of skin do you find to be least painful? do some areas barely hurt and other agony?

And which do you consider the most painful?

I know basically, such as the face is more painful than the soles of the feet, and inner thigh is more than knees etc, but looking for more specific areas, small areas etc.

Specifics like, is the middle of forhead more painful than the sides?
or is above the top lip or bottom lip/chin worst.
is the area around the belly button more sensitive to pain than the sides, front of thighs or backs of thighs.

For instance to have a tattoo on, or a burn, or accupuncture, or something

Thanks

There has been a map done of how parts of the body respond to pain.

It isn't easy to track down.

Article here though.

A quick bit of googling finds many sources which suggest that our fingertips are the areas where our skin is most sensitive to pain. (Think of paper cuts and you might well agree!)
Most painful? Let me put it this way: always take your time when zipping up a trouser zip.
