Collection: Hand Tattoos

Yes, hand tattoos usually hurt more than tattoos on other parts of the body. The skin on your hands is thin and there isn’t much fat or muscle, so the needle is closer to bones and nerves. This makes the tattoo feel sharper and more painful. Areas like the fingers, knuckles, and the top of the hand can be especially sensitive. Everyone feels pain differently, but most people say hand tattoos are more painful than arm or leg tattoos. Taking breaks, breathing deeply, and staying relaxed can help manage the pain during the session.
