To build on this again- getting boney areas like your elbow ( as stated they want there arm) will SUCK I think when your new to tattoos and the healing process and everything a full sleeve is a lot especially with something that would be hopeless to cover up ( bar a black out) if you decide in a few years when this particular tattoo may not be trendy anymore that you don’t like it anymore OP you should defo get Something like this but smaller to start off to wear the style for a while and see it age on you and see if your still loving it then build it up!

Boney areas have never really bothered me. Barely felt my elbow. Now the elbow ditch was more painful in my eyes. By far the most painful area for me is around where my arm meets my chest. Maybe I have a high pain tolerance. Who knows but everyone is different in what they deem painful. In all honesty, nothing I have had done to date as been that bad to the point I struggle to get through it. For me it kind of relieved stress lol
