sometimes you cut yourself on a bunch of nerve endings making it hurt more. eg. a small cut on your fingers huts a lot because you have lots of nerve endings there where if you cut your self on your elbow you can barely feel it.

The number and type of nerve endings. Your tongue has many many more nerve endings close to the surface, while your elbow have far less, this is because the tongue is designed as a sensing means, (touch, temperature, taste, hydration, etc.,) while your elbow serves as a joint and lacks the diversity of nerve types and number found in the tongue.
