Collection: Hand Tattoos for Women

Hand tattoos can hurt more than tattoos on fleshier areas. The skin on hands is thin, with many nerves and little fat to cushion the needle, causing a sharp or burning sensation. Pain is often stronger near knuckles or bony areas. Pain varies by person and tolerance. Sessions are usually short, so discomfort is brief. Numbing cream and breaks can help. Most find the pain manageable. An experienced artist can work quickly, reducing discomfort. Proper aftercare also eases pain during healing.
