Finger tattoo ideas

First and foremost, if you want a tattoo which is easily hidden or not easily seen, then your finger sides is the best place to have one. Remember, while tattoos are ‘hot’ when you are young, ten years later, your future employers may not approve it. So having a finger tattoo is a safe bet as it’s not easily seen and can be easily covered by clothing. They are however so small, that they can be even overlooked and is a cool way to start wearing tattoos.

Best color choice for finger tattoos

Black or dark blue are better colors. The problem with finger tattoos is that they tend to blur or fade away quickly. This is because we are constantly doing something with our hands throughout the day and hands are constantly washed. This is why it’s better to wear tattoos with black and dark blue colors as they don’t fade as quickly as other colors. Moreover, fingers are thinner when compared to other body tattoos and thus may not hold pigments well.

So there are no fixed ideas to use as finger tattoos for men. It’s up to you to choose and wear the design which best depicts your ideal in life or whatever special there may be in your life.
