So you want to get a finger tattoo. Here's everything you should know about finger tattoos. You might have heard that finger tattoos are a little bit more spicy than normal tattoos, which is absolutely true. Everybody handles pain a little bit differently, but for me, fingers, they're about a seven to an eight. But just so you know, finger tattoos, because of the size, they're usually relatively quick. So you will get through it, I believe in you. Just to prepare yourself for getting the finger tattoos, if you could start lotioning your hands once or twice a day, it'll make the skin more ready to take the ache. So you'll have a little bit less fallout. Speaking of fallout, that does happen. It is pretty common on finger tattoos, especially when you get to the sides or towards the palms. Got this tattoo and it's supposed to say put it on, but it looks like it says a bad word in Spanish because this little inn that I've done three times won't hold the ache. So if you do experience any ink fallout, don't freak out. It is relatively normal. We do offer one free touch up here. So if that happens to occur, then you can just come back in, we'll hit it again. Lotion two, three times a day is gonna be your best bet to try to reduce the amount of fallout that there is. As for the healing process, you really wanna make sure you keep your hands clean. We use our hands for everything we do. So you just wanna be mindful where you're putting your hands. Don't put your hands in dirty dish water. Don't put your hands anywhere that you wouldn't put a fresh wound. You don't wanna put your fresh tattoo there either. It's all about cleanliness. Every time you get a chance, you're gonna wash your hands and you're gonna wanna use nonscented lotion. At least two, three times a day to avoid that ink fallout.
