Hand tattoos

High-commitment, high-visibility. Hand tattoos fade faster than anywhere else (constant washing and sun) and demand bold, simple structure to stay readable through touch-ups.

The honest notes

Pain

High — bone, tendon and constant movement. Also the most touch-up-prone spot.

Size & sessions

Keep it bold and open — fine detail on hands blurs within a few years.
