Having Tattoo's on Hands?

Question

Hey everyone,

Since seeing the start of XFactor with Cheryl Cole on, and I have noticed her tattoo on the outside of her hand, and I've always wanted a tattoo but never found a place for it where i'd like then found a design.

Has anyone had a tattoo on their hand? How painful was it compared to other places?

It will be my first tattoo so im not really sure on pain, but i'm assuming different places will hurt more than others?

Thanks in advanced

Answer 1

Considering that it is going to be your first tattoo i wouldnt get it on your hand, I personally dont have one but my friend has a lot and she did say that the one on her hand was one of the most painful ones she has gotten. If you do decide to go through with it, I think that maybe a few stars would be so cute. :)

Answer 2

I don't have a tattoo on my hand. But I know people who have gotten them done and they say that it hurts pretty bad. And see as it is your first, you might want to stick with some place that has a little bit more meat. But hey, it all depends on your tolerance to the pain. I have three tattoos. And the worst one out of those three (shoulder, back of neck and foot) was my foot by far. It was extremely painful. And it was really sensitive and swollen afterwards I could barely put pressure on my foot. But it all depends on you.

Also just so you know, tattoo artists will not recommend tattoos on the hands or feet because the skin cells die quick there and shed, so the tattoo over the years could drastically fade.
