Finger Tattoos
Filter
Sort by:
Finger tattoos are small by nature, and that is the whole appeal: a thin line around the base of a finger, a crescent on the side, a word along the inside, a row of dots across the knuckles. On a finger, the simpler the design, the better it reads.
Ideas that suit fingers
- Rings and bands: thin lines, dotted bands or tiny vines that circle the finger, a good way to try a ring tattoo before anything permanent.
- Side-of-finger symbols: hearts, stars, moons, arrows, small animals drawn in one line.
- Script: initials or one short word along the side or the top of the finger.
- Mini sheets: several tiny motifs on one transfer, to cut out and spread across your fingers or pair with the wrist.
What to expect on your fingers
Be realistic about wear: you wash your hands and use them all day, so fingers are among the places where the design leaves soonest, well before the forearm or shoulder. That makes finger tattoos ideal for an event, for living with an idea for a few days, or for testing a ring tattoo before you commit. Apply on clean, dry skin without hand cream, then keep water and rubbing away for 8 hours. The design starts pale and turns blue-black over 24 to 48 hours.

Finger tattoo questions
How do you make finger tattoos last longer?
Exfoliate gently the day before, apply on clean, dry skin and avoid water and rubbing for 8 hours. After that, moisturize every day, pat your hands dry instead of rubbing, skip scrubs on the area and wear gloves for dishes or cleaning. Fingers still fade sooner than other zones.
What is a finger ring tattoo?
It is a design that circles the finger like a ring: a thin band, a dotted line or a small vine. A temporary version lets you see how it looks and feels for a week or two before you decide on a permanent one.
What age are temporary tattoos for?
Our tattoos can be used from age 3. Apply them only on healthy skin, never on irritated or damaged areas.
