Anatomical placement guide: Hand
Hands and fingers are among the most visible and most worn parts of the body. The skin is thin, there's little padding over the bones and the area is washed and used all day, so ink here fades faster and often needs touch-ups. Bold, simple designs hold up best, while very fine details tend to blur.

Frequently asked questions
Do hand tattoos fade quickly?
Yes, faster than most placements. Constant washing, sun and friction wear the ink down, and the sides of the fingers and palm fade the fastest. Expect touch-ups, and choose bolder lines for longer-lasting results.
Is a hand tattoo painful?
Generally yes. The skin is thin and there's little cushioning over bone and tendons, so most people rate the back of the hand and fingers as high. Sessions are usually short because the area is small.
Is a hand tattoo a good idea as a first tattoo?
Many artists recommend starting elsewhere, because the hands are highly visible, heal less predictably and fade faster. If you do want one, pick a simple design and an artist experienced with hand work.
