Finger Tattoos Are The Newest Trend, And We’ve Collected Some Amazing Ideas For You To Check
Human fingers have many uses - from picking your nose to flipping the bird and pointing at your favorite doughnuts in a coffee shop; when it comes to everyday life, these appendixes are truly invaluable. Now, if there would only be a way to adorn their sausage-like shapes with some body art... Enter finger tattoos! What has started with Cara Delevigne's tiny lion is now a number one cool tattoo trend, popular among celebrities and common folk alike.
Though it might seem that the small area on your fingers might leave less room for imagination, it actually works the other way around. Smaller space means more unique tattoos! In this tattoo gallery compiled by Bored Panda, you'll be sure to find unicorns, abstract designs, and intricate flower ornaments - everything can be squeezed on your ten (or in some cases a few less or a few more) digits.
Now, if you need to be inspired for picking your next small tattoo design, use one of your digits to scroll down and check our glorious compilation. As per usual - don't forget to tell us which one of these finger tattoo ideas you've liked the most!

Blooming Fingers

It is, but it's too delicate to stand the test of time. The smaller details will eventually be lost, especially if this person doesn't use sunscreen on their hands daily

Amazing that so many people are willing to make a permanent decision based on a temporary fad. Tramp stamps were all the rage at one time and now they're a mark of shame and embarrassment. Seriously think before getting permanent ink based on a trend.
Jane Whyte 2 years ago
I have one and will never be embarrassed of it cause it's awesome and not something that was a fad or something stupid. Also, why would anyone be embarrassed of their tattoos? They are a personal choice for most so wgaf about what other people think of them. I certainly could give a s**t What anyone thinks of my ink. I didn't do it for them or cause of some trendy a*s fad.

The tattoo looks nice but white ink is notorious for fading pretty quickly.

I agree. However, the detail in that one little finger tattoo is something that deserves a bit of boasting, don't you think? 🙂🦉

I think it is, you can see the redness around the edges and the white of a fresh tattoo has that just painted quality. Believe what you wish tho.

The Process Of Plant Growing Up Depicted In Finger Tattoos
therealpixie 6 years ago
Interesting that order is not reversed, with the seed on the little finger.
Patrick Millet 6 years ago
I guess they would have done that if it was the other hand but since in western cultures we tend to interpret from left, to right, it would seem like the plant if "de-growing" back into a seed (which would be a cool concept; tho)

Handpoked Finger Tattoo Lines

Does anyone know if there is meant to be a meaning behind the line tattoos. I have seen a few and I personally don’t get it.

Not all tattoos have meaning. I know one person who has some random lines as tattoos and he just wanted a tattoo like that because it looked nice.

Late to the party here, but maybe it's meant to be in rememberance of someone/something? Like the old trick of tying a string around your finger so you wouldn't forget something?

As someone who has hand tattoos on both sides, the palms will only last 2-3 months at the most and the front ones needs constant touching up, only recommended if you regularly go for tattoo sessions so you can touch them up frequently. I had a devil on my right palm about a year ago and there is absolutely nothing left of it at all. Also hand tattoos are mega visible, i was already an established manager in my work place but my boss told me outright he wouldn't of employed me if i had hand tattoos years ago when i got the job, i told him it should be based on performance, ability and attitude.

The simple ones will probably last, but the detailed coloured ones will fade. I have a small heart on my hand (the fleshy part above my index finger, not the palm) that is definitely fading, but it's still easy to see what it is. Had it done with my first real paycheque back in the early '80s. It was totally red with a skinny black outline then. Now it's just a blurred black line in the shape of a heart. Bought a pita lunch the other day and the young man that handed me the food had the exact same one in the same place on his hand. His was only a couple of years old and blurry on purpose, which made me laugh as we compared ink. I'm 55 and he was about 22. Made us both giggle :-)
