Lessons Learned

Finger Tattoos are a challenge.  I did the farthest right finger with a bugpin needle 1001.  I did the farthest left finger with a 10-03 for thicker lines.  Both have faded a lot. These are less than four months old. 

Possible solutions:  even thicker lines.  Less detailed designs.  Accepting they are going to fade at the joints badly.  Avoid joints completely.  Or my possible favorite idea: just tattoo blue fingers LOL.

I really want a simple laurel like design down all my fingers in blue (to match the designs I love on my gold rings laurel leaves/forget me nots/greek key). But this is also a learning experiment to gain experience in tattooing.  The human body is an amazing thing and skin really does what ever it wants!!
