Recently, I have seen a lot of clients come into the shop and they are wanting finger tattoos. It's crazy, but there are some things you should actually consider before getting finger tattoos.

Don't worry, though. I am here with some tips and some of those considerations you should be thinking about.

Let me know in the comments if you have had a finger tattoo and if you have needed touch-ups.

I got my finger tattoo on the side of my ring finger, my artist was so sweet and he said he touch it up when it’s healed. He went over it 4 times just to make sure enough ink was penetrated

I did my own finger tats with the traditional hand poke method and I did not hurt nearly as much as my ankle tattoo. I did them in July and have had to do a few touch ups since then as I'm a housekeeper at a hospital and wear gloves and wash my hands often. But I love my tats and don't mind doing the touch ups

I just got a finger tattoo on my ring finger as a coverup from an old tattoo. It’s a butterfly shaded in with black ink. Just took the plastic off and put ointment on it. Hope it heals well! Thanks for the tips

I just got my finger tattoo on my middle finger today and it didn’t hurt that much it’s my first tattoo so maybe I don’t know how other parts feel but if it feels less then this then I won’t be scared to get my next

I didn't realise blow out was common on finger tattoos, that's really helpful advice

In 4 sessions [7 hours] purely on my fingertips, doesn't just feel like someone's tattooing your bone but it feels like someone has a tiny buzzsaw and is going through the bone very slowly. Best way i can explain the pain, this is coming from someone who had 5 exposed nervs for 7 months as well im amazing with pain.

Bro, I've done my fingers five times since I started tattooing. They fade, the ink is really difficult to lay down clean and crisp. I've done a number of finger or hand/wrist tattoos and they all fade. Sometimes they don't take. If you don't have the setup to tattoo your fingers yourself, then be prepared. I work with my hands all day everyday, but I have a studio and I can tattoo left or right handed. Good video, man. I've had people ask me to do some crazy stuff on the back of the hand or across the fingers and knuckles...I won't do it because first of all the phone rings for touch-ups, complaints, or they whine and snivel because it hurts. It's a difficult region as is, without somebody flinching and jumping around. From my experience, you have to use a smaller RL just to get the lines close to being right, so shading is even more painful. If I have a 1203 RL on my machine and am doing black lettering...guess what...I'm not changing out a cartridge to fill in some block lettering, numbers, etc. You're 100% on this subject. That's why I never had fingers inked until I could do it myself. I've disliked every minute of it and that's me working on my own stupid self. Do they look good? Yeah, they do, but I have the luxury of stepping in my studio and doing it myself...if it's a trainwreck, it's my trainwreck.

I want to get a simple heart outline on the top part of my finger in the space above my main hand knuckle. I’m fully aware that it will need to be touched up every few months or so, or I could be lucky and be one of few people who get lucky and have their hand/finger tattoo not fade after a long period of time. But I don’t mind having to have it touched up though, it’s not a surprise and something I expect.

[itssamanthavasquez]

just got a finger tattoo a few days ago, along with an arm tattoo..& I love it!
I know I’ll have to do a touch up, but I Loveee it sm sm I don’t mind lol

I got my fingers done 2 months ago and got a sunburn on week 3 but i came out quite nice, only a small line thats has faded.
Fingers is by far the most painful tattoo i have.

Got a snake from knuckle to knuckle on my index last year detail wil fade fast like the scales but i still love it

[darrencrosbie-rowlands]

Ive got a finger tattoo, it certainly hurt a little more than my other tattoos but i think the pain is a subjective thing, we all have different pain thresholds. yes i did have to go for a touch up, yes he virtually had to redo the whole tattoo and he was great and did it for free. I will definitely keep the touch ups going as the tattoo means a lot to me. A tip id share would be think about what you have tattooed be sure you are happy to have this showing, other tattoos can be more easily covered for social, work purposes, its not the same for finger tattoos. THINK before you get inked!!!

When I'm out and about, I apply sunscreen to exposed tattoos every two hours. After I get my finger tattoo, I'm gonna carry a stick of broad spectrum SPF 50 everywhere I go, and put it on it every 2 hours that I'm in the sun.

I just got my first 4 lol finger tattoos and out of the 4 on needs to be retouched to basically retatto bottoms half of it! I know it’s not the artist doing a bad job because all my other tattoos are well done and pigmented! What are the odds that the one that hurt the most is the one that needs the most touch up work 😭 but I love them and I would do it all over again!

[laraleal]
