Hand/Foot Tattoo Disclosure
Things to note when getting a hand/foot tattoo:
- Hands & feet are the most high-motion of areas on your body.
- Sides & bottoms of your hands and feet don't retain pigment the same way the rest of your body does.
- Clients should know that tattoos on the hands & feet tend to require touch-ups at a higher frequency than other tattoos because of the skin density, texture, elasticity, and motion.
- When we do a tattoo, we expect 95% & up of everything we tattoo to stay the way we tattoo, but when we tattoo hands & feet that percentage is more like 75% because of that high motion forcing pigment out. (this can happen very shortly after completion of tattoo even with proper aftercare.)
