Will a tattoo hurt more if I have muscle soreness on the area?

I had my full back done and expected it to be painful over my spine. Turns it what I should have worried about was the muscle behind my left shoulder which has an old sports injury

Yes anyway, but especially if you've gotta get into an uncomfortable position for the ink or the artist has to stretch/slightly lean onto the muscle etc to do the work.

My wife has tattoos and she said that yes, it does hurt more. She's done it but she doesn't recommend it. It's best to let your muscles rest and heal so you don't add any trauma to it.

It'll certainly be more uncomfortable, not sure if it'd really hurt more though.
Depends where it is really. If you're having to keep your arm bent for 3 hours in a certain position for it then I wouldn't want to do that with a strained shoulder muscle for example.
