I personally huge fan of a finger tattoos. I cant say they don’t hurt, since we have thinner skin on our hands compared to other parts of our body, our bones are closer to our skin, which can cause us more pain when getting tattoos, but besides, finger tattoos looks amazing and really cool.
If you are concerned about your hand or finger tattoo fading, it can be slightly. Because we wash our hands frequently, tattoos that come into contact with soap and water can fade a little.
These kind of finger tattoos are so trend. If you like more ethnic shapes as a tattoo, you can choose this style of dotwork hand tattoo.
Or you can prefer these cute figures for your finger tattoos. These are also very preferred styles for friendship tattoos.

They can give you a more badass vibe. If you are one of those cool men/women who have big tattoos on their arms and legs and even have those cool black figures all over their body, you already have tattoos on most of their body and you love getting tattoos.
