Finger Tattoo Ideas For Your Own Ink
5. Celtic Moons And Feather Mandalas
Celtic tattoos are very intricate even in small designs. This makes them ideal for tiny yet elaborate tattoo ideas like a stylish wedding band. You can even go a little crazy with it and get a matching Celtic tattoo with an Irish brother or sister! Sibling tattoos are all the rage nowadays!
4. Roses, Butterflies, And Other Flowers
Go eclectic with lotus designs or keep it simple with a daisy – flower designs never go out of style. A tried and tested classic, these make fantastic matching mother/daughter tatts.
3. Cats, Foxes, And Other Animals
If you’ve always felt like you had a spirit animal, getting a tattoo is a great way to show it. Don’t be scared off by the small surface area on your finger! It can be as complex as an elephant or go sleek as a wolf; tattoo artists nowadays are true masters of their craft and can help you figure out how to best represent any animal onto your skin!
2. Quotes and Famous Lines
Your choices are only limited by what you’ve read, and you aren’t necessarily limited to books – go and tattoo your personal mantra in your favourite font. You can even pick from different fonts for your design!
1. Symbols And Objects
From anchors, skulls, infinity signs, and star signs, symbols can give you the greatest freedom when it comes to finger tattoo design. You can go subtle or as crazy as you like – Egyptian hieroglyphics, anyone? – it’s all up to your taste and preferences. Make sure it’s a design that you love since it’ll be with you for life!
Some Things To Keep In Mind:
Feeling inspired? Good. But before you go running off to your nearest ink parlour, here are some things you need to keep in mind:
- Do tattoos hurt? Yes, and tattoo aftercare is extremely important. Just take it easy on your hands and have faith in the instructions of your tattoo artist – do your part!
- How long do I have to wait? Depends. The more elaborate the tattoo, the longer it takes to heal. Healed finger tattoos are generally fine after 2 to 3 weeks.
- How much are finger tattoos? Check your parlour for prices – but they’re going to be fairly cheap because they’re so small.
Conclusion
Finger tattoos are a unique and beautiful way to express your love for the things that you value the most in life. They’re trendy, meaningful, easy to hide, and they look fantastic!
