Finger Tattoo Advice

I don't tattoo fingers at my Birr studio. If you want a small symbol or short word, we can discuss the wrist or forearm instead.

Why I do not tattoo fingers

My booking policy excludes finger tattoos, including tiny symbols and simple bands.

The small area leaves very little room between lines, and fingers get constant use, washing and friction. Fading, softened detail and possible touch-ups are important considerations with this placement.

Existing finger tattoos and touch-ups

If an existing finger tattoo needs a touch-up, discuss it with the artist who did the work. My Touch-Up service and its prices apply to eligible small corrections to my own healed work, not repairs to another artist's finger tattoo.

The pain chart compares body areas. Pain is only one part of the decision; it doesn't change which placements I accept.

Wrist and forearm alternatives

If you like a compact symbol, initial or short word, consider moving it to the wrist or forearm. The drawing will still need enough size and open space for its detail.

Look through my portfolio for examples of line weight. You can send the idea to discuss another placement.
