Finger Tattoos

Fingers are an extremely popular location for tattoos, largely because of their relative inexpensiveness and versatility. Finger tattoos tend to be small and quick to complete which is why they’re usually more affordable than their larger counterparts.

Finger tattoos look amazing online. However, like palm tattoos, they don't heal nearly as well as tattoos on other areas of the body. You're constantly washing, rubbing, and touching your hands, which can affect the color. There are risks that you're taking as far as fading.

Finger tattoos are challenging and require upkeep, and you must remain prepared to experience a lot of pain when the tattoo artist executes the design on your finger. This is because your fingers have little flesh to act as a cushion and also have lots of nerve endings to hurt a lot when the tattoo is being made. Luckily, this tattoos are small and most of them are done very quickly.

Although this location has become very popular over the years, before you consider a tattoo on the finger bear in mind that they have a tendency to fade quickly, especially on the side of the finger, where they are destined to fade quicker than most. You will most likely need to get your design touched up if you want your finger tattoo to look good in the long run. Because fingers suffer excessive wear, tear, and exfoliation, tattoos here are notorious for fading fast, sometimes even before they're completely healed. Many times, those tattoos look great in photos, but it's because on many occasions they are taken just after the person is freshly inked and hasn’t fully healed.

When it comes to the basic care of these tats, you must use a fragrance free moisturizer to keep the skin supple and protected. While the tattoo is healing, you need to keep your hands clean and dry.

And how much do finger tattoos cost? Well, the price completely changes based on what you get, but althoug cost is variable, finger tattoos cost on average between $100 and $200, and its price ultimately comes down to the amount of time it takes your artist to complete. While most finger tattoos can be completed quickly, even the smallest tattoo can become expensive as its design increases in complexity. Some styles, particularly microrealism (those with fine, precise details) take longer to ink irrespective of size. As a general rule, tattoos take longer to complete and become more costly when you add shading, color, detail and size. If you’re planning to get a minimalistic line-based tattoo, you can expect to pay far less than if the tattoo you’re interested in is highly complex, such as a lion head portrait.
