Tattoos on the hand and foot.

Small, striking and personal. On hands, fingers and feet, bold, clear designs work well because the skin here takes a lot of wear.

What works well here.

Fine lines blur faster on hands and feet. Bold outlines and clear shapes usually last longer here.

Planning

What your Artist looks out for with your tattoo on the hand and foot.

Your Artist plans the motif and size for your placement and adjusts the design until it is right. These are the points you discuss together.

  1. 01Bold rather than fineHere your Artist will often recommend clear lines and little fine detail. That way the design is more likely to stay legible over the years.
  2. 02Plan for a touch-upHands and feet more often need a touch-up. Within the first three months, touch-ups are also free on the back of the hand and the top of the foot, as long as you follow the aftercare guide. Tattoos on fingers, palms and the soles of the feet are excluded. After that, your Artist sets the price.
  3. 03Consider visibilityA tattoo on the hand is with you every day. Take your time to decide; you can clear up your questions in the free consultation.

Frequently asked questions about hand and foot tattoos

Can a finger tattoo be done in fine lines?

It is possible, but fine lines blur especially quickly on the fingers. In the consultation your Artist will show you which form lasts longer.

Why do hand tattoos fade faster?

The skin on hands and feet renews itself faster and is constantly in motion, and there is also soap and friction. Clear, bold designs usually last longer here.

Can I see and change the design beforehand?

Yes. Once you have chosen your Artist and paid the deposit, they draw your design and adjust it with you until you say: this is exactly how I want it. This can happen by message over several rounds or together in person.

How much does a tattoo cost?

That depends on size, placement, style and effort. The Artist sets the price after you have talked about your design. Some of our Artists offer payment in instalments, usually via PayPal or Klarna. Whether this is possible, on what terms and over what period is decided by the Artist, who will tell you in the consultation. The studio is not involved. More in the price guide.
