You don’t have to be an expert to get tattooed. While each tattoo will be different, inking your fingers can be quite different.
There are many things you need to consider before changing your appearance permanently. We’re going to share four facts about finger tattoos that you need to know before you commit to ink.
It’s Hard to Hide
Perhaps you are hoping to work in corporate America one day, or maybe you want to be a teacher at a school that molds young minds. We won’t judge. The truth is that you must understand that a visible tattoo could affect your chances of landing a job. Finger tattoos can be difficult to hide, unlike arm and shoulder tattoos. If you don’t intend to work in an ink-friendly environment like ours, it may be worth taking some time to reconsider your decision.
They Fade
Hand and finger tattoos fade quickly due to the delicate skin of the hands. Also, tattoos exposed to direct sunlight will fade twice as fast as any other tattoo. Finger tattoos also fade the fastest because people are less likely to apply sunblock to their hands during the day. We advise St. Pete Tattoo clients to avoid these tattoos, no matter how adorable they may look on Pinterest.
They Hurt… a Lot.
Although tattoos can hurt, not all tattoos are painful. Some tattoos hurt more than others. It all comes down to how thick the skin is on the part of your body where you want to ink it. The thinner the skin, generally speaking, the more painful the tattoo will be.
Healing Is Hell
We use our hands to do everything, from washing up in the bath to changing gears on the road. Tattoos can take several weeks to fully heal. This is why it takes so long for finger tattoos to heal. You should be extra cautious when applying new tattoos to your fingers and hands. This means that you need to protect your ink from any moisture, chemicals, and irritants.
