If you're younger, you have a better success rate for tattoos on your hands and feet. "As you age, your skin loses elasticity and it becomes increasingly hard to tattoo your body, especially areas like your hands and feet," said Bang Bang. In terms of placement on these tricky areas, Bang Bang recommends getting ink on the tops of your feet and backs of your hands. "The sides and bottoms are not ideal because skin is not consistent."
You should also be someone who limits their sun exposure, as the sun is the number-one enemy of all tattoos, no matter where they are on your body, but hands are naturally more prone to overexposure. To help slow down fading due to the sun, you'll want to apply sunblock on your tattoos daily but, as Bang Bang said, "there's nothing else that you can do to stop the eventual change" that will occur over time.
