A word of caution
Also, a word of caution. Even though they look absolutely stunning and are extremely popular as tattoos for girls, we suggest that you get your hands or feet tattooed after a deliberate thought.
These tattoos fade very quickly as they are exposed to much more wear and tear – after all, we use our hands and feet a lot. This means you’re either going to lose the detail in your tattoo over time OR you’re setting yourself up for a lifetime of touch-ups.
These areas are also more likely to be exposed to water and heat, meaning you’ll be looking at a much more detailed aftercare process to make sure they heal right.
If you’re looking to get a tattoo near these areas, try wrist or ankle tattoos instead. But be warned – tattoos in these areas tend to hurt a lot for most people!
Nevertheless, if you have made up your mind, all we urge you to do is consider a few things:
- Opt for designs that will look good even while they fade
- Choose smaller, more minimalist designs so you don’t invest a lot into something that may not last
- Choose a design with lesser detail so it won’t look smudged as it fades
You’ll also need to take the best care of these tattoos to ensure they last as long as possible.
