    I have been contemplating getting a red tattoo on the inside of my middle finger like the one in the picture below. i’ve heard they fade easily and that it is very painful (which is part of the fun) I want it real bad but not at any cost. Anyone have experience with tattoos in this area or have any advice?

    BTW…first post :p

    That’s not unoriginal at all… Uhm.. red ink fades faster than black or gray ink. But every tattoo is to be reworked every 10 to 15 years… However, take into consideration you use your hands and fingers quite a lot. In my area that tattoo would cost $40 tops. It’s going to hurt but not any more than any other tattoo…

    yes finger tattoo’s do tend to fade more quickly because it rubs etc

    Thanks guys.
    I don’t mind retouching the tattoo every now and again. I was just worried the ink would bleed or look terrible after a while.
    I have another red tattoo on my wrist and had it for many years, it has not faded yet. I want the finger tat on the same hand so I definitely think a red tat would compliment the one i already have better than black or grey.
    Just gottta find somone who is willing to do it. Anyone know of anyone in the Hampton Roads area?

    Really? Think twice before I get it in the terms of getting a job or because it might not turn out well?

    In terms of getting a job… people do discreminate against ppl with tattoos and some just dont want you to have one for fear it will offend their customers. bogus i know but thats the way it is.
