In recent years, the request for a finger tattoo has become insanely popular. It is in special demand among young people. At least once a week, our studio receives calls from clients with this request. We explain this increase in the popularity of the tattoo in the fashion of the fingers and the lack of information about the characteristics of tattoos in this area. Today we will understand all the subtleties of the tattoo on the fingers. The facts you need to know about finger tattoos: 1. Finger skin has a number of characteristics that make it unsuitable for tattooing: - it is very fast and is updated frequently; - is subject to constant mechanical and chemical effects (soap, detergents, antiseptics); - it has a large number of blood vessels, which also helps to accelerate the regeneration of the skin in this area; - more often than other parts of the body are exposed to the sun (and we have already mentioned that ultraviolet is the main destroyer of the coloring pigment); Thanks to all the mentioned characteristics, even a high-quality and professional tattoo on the finger will not live long. Your fate is sealed. Immediately after application, everything will look perfect. But as soon as the healing process begins, your appearance will gradually start to change. The lines are guaranteed to be wider, the sides of the finger can swim. Occasionally the pigment will fall off and leave holes, in some places it will fade over time, turning noticeably pale. Such processes in some owners of tattoos on the fingers will be visible in a couple of months, someone a year after application. But they will inevitably come. 2. Correction will not save. Some styles of finger tattoos can be corrected when necessary. But you should know that all the above processes will inevitably continue. Swimming from the first application will not go anywhere, and the fresh paint over time will also float, disappear, change color. 3. It is an illusion that your finger tattoo looks elegant and does not show. The tattoo on the fingers is immediately noticeable, as well as on the face. And its unsightly appearance is guaranteed to ruin the impression of you. 4. Finger tattoo looks good only the first few days after application. Fingers are one of the most painful places to apply a tattoo. 5. We think getting your fingers tattooed is a bad idea for girls. Many have probably forgotten the future wave of popularity of tattoos on this part of the body, when the men there filled in rings, inscriptions "for the air", letters of the name, important dates, zonal symbols. So now, tattoos on the fingers of a lady are still perceived under the influence of old stereotypes. And that, too, is worth considering. 6. The difficulty of healing a tattoo on your finger. The first few days after a tattoo session, the tattoo is afraid of drying out. Also, the tattoo area is like a fresh wound, it needs barrier protection to prevent infection. Normally for this purpose, the master can stick a protective film, or recommend the first days to wrap the food film. But the protective film does not stay on the fingers, and it is not convenient to wrap the food film. This can create a problem for your tattoo care and the quality and safety of healing. What do you get when you tattoo your fingers? The problem that is not solved, the constant need to correct, and therefore spend money, a reminder that you made a mistake that will always be with you. To be clearly convinced of all the above, it is enough to google and look at the tattoos from the photos on the fingers after a while. Our opinion on this is that if you want to do something minimalist, the body has many places where this tattoo will look appropriate and will live a long time. We are always ready to advise you on the best format for the tattoo so that you do not regret it. Resources: - https://ctmtattoo.com/
