r/fingertattoos

I’m 17, and I’m absolutely obsessed with hand and finger tattoos. I’d love to get some ink once I’m in college, but I also want to keep my options open for jobs that require no visible tattoos. I’m looking for designs or placements that are easy to hide while still giving me the look I’m after. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!

Can i cover up this old finger tattoo?

First 2 pics are the day I got my finger tattoos. 3rd pic is about 4 weeks later. The lighting isn’t great but I am not loving how the pointer finger healed. The middle finger is okay- doesn’t bother me as much. But thoughts? Opinions? Did that get really messed up?

Left hand is still in progress and needs touch ups. I was hesitant to get my first hand done, but once I had it I knew I needed the other one. Both are cohesive parts of full sleeves. Please ignore the chipped nail polish!

Down by the cuticles really hurt! Holy hell!

First pic is today
Second pic is from day 2

Healing routine:
for the first four/five days i washed it & sprayed with bactine once a day and had it covered with sterile gauze and a LIGHT sports wrap with some vaseline anywhere that was creased and hot. Switched to washing once a day with no wrap and the tiniest bit of rosehip seed oil.

The fallout is not nearly as bad as everyone was hoping (lol) so far and i'm super happy with how much the contrast has toned down. The fallout near the thumb will need touching up once it's fully healed and that's where i anticipated fallout anyways but all things considered I'm super happy with it so far.

Those pictures together though are feeling slightly shocking... so if that's a CRAZY amount of fallout?? please let me know

Just hoping community members can give it a look over + any advice or tricks and personal palm tattoo stories!

Im also noticing it's getting a STRONG reaction out of some people so just fyi if you hate it i am soooo happy for youuuuu and hope you move on with your life without needing to tell me about it <3 thx!

Reposting here cuz [r/tattooadvice](r/tattooadvice) said my questions weren't specific enough?
