  No, I'm pretty sure the skin of the fingertips is the most sensitive of
the human body. I remember reading that (maybe it was from the Guinnes book
of records, or something like that).

  OTOH, it might be talking about other type of sensitivity than pain. For
example, you can read braille writing with your fingertips, but I'm pretty
certain you can't do it with your tongue, even though a cut on your tongue
might hurt more than a cut on your fingertip.

  Anyways, a cut in the finger hurts a lot. It's by far not the first place
I would like a needle to be poked into me.
