Finger tattoos are the real thing. There’s no going back after getting a finger tattoo (or with any tattoo), so it’s wise to choose the daintiest finger tattoo as possible so you won’t regret it later. Finger tattoos are rarer than tattoos elsewhere, for a couple reasons even your tattoo artist will warn you about.
Considering on getting a finger tattoo? Consult our guide first before making the plunge and investment. Once you’re 100% confident about your decision, make sure to check out these dainty finger tattoo ideas to get inspired for your design!
To Get a Finger Tattoo or To Not…
If you waltz into a tattoo shop and ask for a finger tattoo, but don’t have visible tattoos anywhere else on your body, then it’s likely the tattoo artists will give you a funny look.
It’s not common for beginners to start out with finger tattoos, and even for the experienced tattooers, getting a finger tattoo is a big step.
Although tattoos are becoming more widely accepted, remember it wasn’t that long ago when they were negatively looked upon (and in some cases, still are).
What to Consider
Career
When considering on getting a finger tattoo (or not), make sure to think about your career; both the current one and the future one. You wouldn’t want to get fired just because of that little infinity symbol poking out between your middle and ring finger, would you?
Society
Not only should you consider your career, but consider society. Do you care about the impression you give to people? Finger tattoos cannot be covered up as easily as other tattoos (unless you’re talented in the makeup department), so remember that finger tattoos, dainty or not, can and will be seen by the public eye.
Yourself
Lastly, don’t forget your personal taste! A finger tattoo will also be staring you in the face every day. Make sure to get something that you can live with!
