The other 1% of you, the "real bad ass mfers" out there, somehow took this as me claiming to be the toughest and hardest dude out here. Y'all got such huge ego's. You guys obviously watched the video cause you also are looking for answers OR are just obsessed with tattoo's like your still 14 years Old. Watch the video, hear my perspective and move on. Act like your opinion actually means anything... I know you 1% don't feel pain at all and "fall asleep" while getting "tatted", and all that badass BS, but the truth is, your such a little mfer you gotta scream to the world how badass and tough you are. I haven't said anything for years, cause I don't comment on ANYTHING, not even other peoples posts. But I want the people who came to this video looking for a perspective or an answer, to get just that, and not have to feel like they can't say what they truly want because of all you billy bad asses.

I hate that hand tattoos or, any visible tattoo really, comes with a stigma. Like, the ink in my hand isn't gonna magically alter who I am as a person lol. Agreed with all your points. Sick tattoo
It's not like it changes who u r, it's more like it reveals who u r. Like, they'll go 'ew I don't wanna be friends with someone who has it in him to get a hand tattoo'. Get it?
Millie says OK boomer which I don’t understand that. How is having tattoo a mental disorder ? It seems like when you get some different or your different from others you consider weird or have a mental disorder.
I work as a psychologist for a prison. I’m covered with two full sleeves and I gotta say my appearance helps break the ice between my clients and I. We always sit there at first talking about each other’s ink. But yea when I’m out of work at the grocery store, people look at me like I’m some thug getting ready to cause havoc. The stigma for tattoos is real. At the end of the day just do you. People are gonna criticise you with or without the ink. Have a good one
So glad this comment exists. I’m 18, and have a very large tattoo of a snake that goes from my forearm, to the wedge of my thumb. I’m very heavily considering the field of psychology as my career choice, and have always been fascinated with criminology. I was worried how my love for tattoos, (as I want to be covered one day), would affect my career choice. But if you can do it then I can too.

Once the older generations pass on these stigmas will subside. I’m 21 and my moms was pretty upset when I came home with a tattoo that wasn’t visible when I was 18. But nowadays, other millennials and others in my generation have more and more and it’ll likely continue its trend for a while.
HA! It's not old people. It's a-holes. Look more carefully because men especially have been getting tattoos in the US for many decades. They're basically all dead now but in my dad's generation almost everyone who fought in WWII had a tattoo of some kind. OFTEN a fully visibly placed naked lady/mermaid with big boobs and nipples. And they were BAD! Usually thick lines in blue-green ink and that was all. As an old person, apparently, I would like to tell you when I was younger I saw Wendy O Williams and The Plasmatics "MAGGOT: THE TOUR" from a mosh pit in a rock club. So conservative, I ain't.

The good thing about living in Arizona, everyone dam near has tattoos. It's not looked down upon. Thanks for the upload I'm planning on getting hand tats this week and wanted to know about the pain and outlook.
Thanks for the heads up about the ink fading quick in the fingers and knuckles if you work with your hands alot. I'm a mechanic and constantly get oil and dirt on them, so looks like I won't be getting the knuckles done anytime soon. But I definitely plan on getting my hands done at some point. I don't like hiding my tattoos at all, because I don't care what other people think of me being different. I've got nearly 2 complete arm sleeves and starting to do my chest.
Hand tattoos are more acceptable nowadays. I'm a CO at a State Correctional Institution and we have many other COs with hand/finger tattoos, throat tattoos, head tattoos you name it. We work for the State too!
Love the video bro. Just got both my hands done in an all day session yesterday. Props for rocking all those fingers. I went up to the first knuckle and whew. That's some dedication. I'd hire someone just for being a champ through that session 😂
@beswick1111 nah man I got mine done on a Friday so that I could be at work on Monday, it is what it is. If you can take off from work then it’s not a bad idea, but nah you don’t have to, thanks for enjoying, maybe going to post another vid soon
Guess I'm going for it! Just stumbled upon your youtube to see people's testimony on pain far as the hands go,and my girl has been wanting me to get one for a while now,so I guess I'm a go with it and that's a bad ass hand tattoo 🤙and that's wear I'm getting my tattoo wish me luck man.
I wish I was more clear so I’ll say it again. The hand isn’t painful man, at all. It’s the fingers, especially by the finger nails that is painful. I have both of my hands done now. Good luck man
Bro you can’t blame a tattooist for a finger or hand tattoo fading….. hands and fingers and notoriously known for fading out….you also work in construction which means your hands are always mobile… plus hands and fingers need touching up a lot it all depends on the person.. some skin types hold ink way better then others…… a 3rd time pass on your hands will prob make the ink hold better then the first couple of times especially the first time. So it’s not really the tattooist fault….. a forearm tattoo will hold way better then a hand tattoo…
It really is up to the person hiring. I have both hands, including all my fingers and 2 sleeves (along with many others) and I work in a school as a pastoral mentor (behaviour management). I do think that men with tattoos get a bit more prejudice in the work place or when it comes to getting jobs than women. All my tattoos are colourful, cute and girly and so maybe I don't appear as 'threatening' as some males do. Not my opinion by the way, just a thought. All I will say is that the decision to tattoo my hands was a game changer. I have been treated differently by some but that's a them problem, I'm not remotely bothered. I also worked in education for a good 10 years before getting my hands done. I've worked in over 30 schools and only 2 have ever asked me to cover my tattoos (this was before I had any on my hands). It doesn't bother me having to cover them because I think it's incredibly naive to think that won't ever happen. Mainly though, I have been told that my tattoos make me more relatable to some kids. For anyone reading this, before you commit to hand or neck tattoos, make sure that you can work in your chosen field with them and also accept that you will be turned away now and then. It's just how it is. Just don't have the attitude that it's your life and if society doesn't accept you then that's not your fault blah blah blah. The harsh reality is that we all need to make a living and you'd be very silly to think otherwise. As long as your job accepts them and your job makes you happy then all is good! One last point I want to make is that it's not usually the tattoos that are a problem to an employer, it's your decision making skills. If you want a face tattoo for example, an employer may judge you solely on the act of getting it done rather than the tattoo itself. They may think that you lack good judgement and are too impulsive and so if the job you want requires lots of planning and problem solving and patience you simply won't be deemed a good candidate. Again, not my opinion at all. I do wish we lived in a world when tattoos didn't cause any issues but they do so we have to work around that if we want to succeed.
I just got my hand and few fingers done yesterday. The artist used a new black ink and he used orange and red on the hand as well. I trust his work, because even arm tattoos can fade if not done properly. But I'll wait until it's fully healed to see if it will be like the other tattoos I have.. He tattooed the hand with black ink first, stopped for a few minutes to let it settle, then went over it again. Same thing for the orange and red ink. Got my elbow done yesterday as well.
I just got a whole traditional black rose on my hand about 2 weeks ago and I’d say this video is highly accurate. The stigma does suck but I say it’s a whole lot better now. I get more compliments on my tattoos then I do looks. Job wise none of my bosses cared. My old job still wants me back and the current one I work at they fucking love it. Even going through phlebotomy at school rn and it still isn’t stopping me.
I'm doing my 2nd and 3rd tattoo tomorrow and I'm 20. Gonna do a tattoo with 4 letters on my knuckles and I'm really excited. I'm a bit afraid of what the future will bring after but I don't really care what people think about my tattoos. It's my body not theirs so...
Was watching videos of people getting their hand tattoos done because im planning to fully cover my hands soon and came across your video. And i love hearing the thing about people looking at your hands being a big deal because i have 6 face tattoos and a 1 & 1/8 inch stretched labret piercing so people always just stare at my face which makes it easy to conversate haha maybe now theyll start looking at my hands instead? 😂
Hey man, I'm going to get "PUNX" on my knuckles, and I've already had my hand done, and it wasn't too bad compared to my centre chest, how do you think thick blacl lettering will fade? Great first video man, keep it up
My hand and fingers are done for a little more than a year and I am a devout Catholic. None of my family has judged too hard and every job I went and interviewed for hasn't cared much either. I am studying gunsmithing and will be doing that for a career. Even when it's older gunsmiths they say "I don't care what you look like as long as you can do good work"
I would say so yeah. I am Hispanic so I have to stay away from typical gang style tattoos, but regardless, as long as it is a tasteful tattoo nobody seems to care. I have American traditional (popeye sailor style) tattoos on my fingers and crosses on my thumbs. @Ejgundy
@@Urstahl I’m relieved to hear this. I’m going to trade school soon to learn about gunsmithing but was concerned about whether or not having hand and knuckle tattoos would affect my ability to be hired. Guess not as long as you’re good at what you do.
I'm at my second office job and I'm surprised how many people are tattooed at both businesses. First was government for our water district my manager had his whole body done and another manager has a sleeve and rocked short sleeve polos all the time. My second job I'm at now has a few guys rocking short sleeves with whole arms blasted as well. Times have changed especially with all this pc crap no one wants to touch "my body I'll do what I want with it" but not every employer is like this. Just know there is opportunity for work if you have tattoos.
I have 2 tattoos one on each hand and I love them I don't have any issue with people in terms of not being liked because I am friendly and have a wonderful personality also I don't care what other people feel about my tattoos get to know me you'll change your perception of me keep smiling bro
I hear what you're saying. Luckily I'm 60 and just getting started on my tattoo journey. I'm a few short years from "retirement" age. I WANT to be discriminated against, tattoo-wise, because I've spent all the time I intend to working for uncool people. I will no longer work for jerks. Anyone small-minded enough to discriminate against people for how they choose to appear...can suck it.
Omg!!!!!! I just said the same thing yesterday I got my hand done yesterday, and I already had one on my finger at another shop and the FIRST THING I NOTICED was how much more it hurt this time (and also agree that the pain was reassuring me that it was being done correctly) and it definitely hurt lol an easy 7/8 out of 10
I wanna get my hand done, I have all my fingers done with stick n pokes (actually good ones) and I see employers lookin everytime. Luckily I’m also 10 years into landscape and design as well as heavy equipment operating experience, so lucky me they don’t care much. I alprena guy like you out here keepin it real
My dad is in a motorcycle club with tattoos on his face, hands, and neck but the wealthy people we do custom carpentry for love him and always have nothing but nice things to say. It’s not about the ink, it’s about how you act with that ink on you (don’t give people a reason to judge/label/stereotype you and you’re good).
I'm an old girl, 50 something, i got my first three tattos this year, i love all of them, two on my wrists, one somewhere else. My tatto artist said the same that it would hurt like fuck on my hand and that it would fade after few years, so i took her advice and didn't get my hand inked. My tattos were painless, slight scratchy feeling, and tiny bit stingy . My son got his first tattoo at 16, i wasn't happy but couldn't be mad cos it said mum. Glad you made this video cos ill def not be getting my hands done ,,,,, maybe lol.. love from Ireland xx
all stereotypes aside I use to judge people with visible tattoos having tattoos myself in hidden places until I met a woman who had a anchor rose on her hand as a tattoo I was interested and asked her the meaning she says her mother bought her a rose anchor jewel she wore around her finger her mother passed away she lost the jewel so she got it tattooed on her hand now I look differently at finger and hand tattoos there not all bad there meaningful to
I'm in HVAC and am thinking of getting either a neck or hand tattoo. I appreciate your input. Makes my decision harder but I gain a question I need to make sure I'm ready to answer. Am I ready to be judged by the populas in a negative light? Even negative attention is attention but am I mentally ready? Hmm. Have a great holiday weekend my guy.
Comes down to how progressive your state or city is. I live in Vegas and I work at H&M and we have people with hand tattoos and neck tattoos. When I was looking for apartments there was a few girls that had neck tattoos showing apartments. So it really depends on where you live cuz it may not limit your job options that much.
Just got my knuckles done. Pain wasn’t bad at all for me. Probably gonna have to get them touched up after they heal but pretty stoked! I am work at my hands but we are required to wear gloves anyhow. I wear sun sleeves at work to keep sun damage away so when I’m in a persons house it’s no big deal for me.
I work as a aircraft mechanic there’s a couple people at work with hand tattoos. I think for the most part any kind of blue-collar job you’re fine if you plan to work in an office they probably won’t like them too much.
That’s an awesome tattoo ! But can I ask you what your opinion is on women with hand tattoos ? I have my entire left hard tattooed with a flower and hear a lot about men finding tattooed women unattractive which I find unfair because I should be able to have a tattoo I love and have been wanting for years without feeling like men find me unattractive for it.
Absolutely, girls should be able to get whatever they want just like guys. Some guys just think women having certain tattoos in certain areas in masculine which is all up to that certain guy, but at the end of the day you don’t wanna be with guys like that anyways, you’ll find a guy who doesn’t even see the tattoos and loves you for you. Right now I’m with a girl who I never thought I’d get a chance to be with because of certain things in my past and my tattoos especially now both of my hands and fingers are covered, but she doesn’t even see them she looks right through them and I’m super grateful for that and for her, so you’ll find the same.
I'm the same brother covered with tats and both hands and fingers and palms done.. also work in construction though so we are lucky indeed bud 👌 but really it should be accepted everywhere eh? Slowly but surely were getting there man 🙌💯
What state are you in? Cuz I got my hands and throat blasted and I make residential deliveries all day and I can’t really recall getting that kind of energy from people. Maybe being In cali makes a difference idk
I’m not really concerned because if I need to, I could just put foundation on my fingers to cover them. Dumb question, what does it feel like, getting a tattoo? I wonder if it’s like a cat scratch, but more pressure
Helpful video, I’ve just got my wrist and hand and knuckles done. I get looked at strange, but at the end of the day your body your choice. I love your tattoo, the healing progress is just a f^cker
The redone part is definitely true but the pain differs from person to person, I hardly had any pain personally, black sticks very well for me, color is extremely hard to keep in the fingers but top of the hand it’s sticking very well, been 6 years and still looks good just color fade on the fingers is my only problem
I feel like it also depends on where you live.. in Texas , California , Florida and New York I’ve seen ppl with face and hand tattoos get employed at plenty of places. Tattoos are definitely more normalized in these areas

dude im the same age and the same way. but im being a piercer while also drumming . never want a corporate job
The good thing about living in Arizona, everyone dam near has tattoos. It's not looked down upon. Thanks for the upload I'm planning on getting hand tats this week and wanted to know about the pain and outlook.
Strong first video. Keep it going. Subscribed.
I totally agree my hand & finger tats hurts AF. Your hand tat is badass tho
Thanks for the heads up about the ink fading quick in the fingers and knuckles if you work with your hands alot. I'm a mechanic and constantly get oil and dirt on them, so looks like I won't be getting the knuckles done anytime soon. But I definitely plan on getting my hands done at some point. I don't like hiding my tattoos at all, because I don't care what other people think of me being different. I've got nearly 2 complete arm sleeves and starting to do my chest.
I work in childcare I'm constantly washing bottles washing hands ect I've had a hand tattoo for 14 years and it hasn't faded yet
Hand tattoos are more acceptable nowadays. I'm a CO at a State Correctional Institution and we have many other COs with hand/finger tattoos, throat tattoos, head tattoos you name it. We work for the State too!
Think they will accept me at McDonald’s I got a skeleton on my hand
@@jhar7440 hell yeah!

Love the video bro. Just got both my hands done in an all day session yesterday. Props for rocking all those fingers. I went up to the first knuckle and whew. That's some dedication. I'd hire someone just for being a champ through that session 😂
Evan Hammond I had to get my fingers re done 3 times.
@beswick1111 nah man I got mine done on a Friday so that I could be at work on Monday, it is what it is. If you can take off from work then it’s not a bad idea, but nah you don’t have to, thanks for enjoying, maybe going to post another vid soon
I did my own hand tats and I dont care what anyone thinks! And the cool thing about it is my boss doesn't give af either
Same 👍
Looks sick bro! It sits good on your hand
Guess I'm going for it! Just stumbled upon your youtube to see people's testimony on pain far as the hands go,and my girl has been wanting me to get one for a while now,so I guess I'm a go with it and that's a bad ass hand tattoo 🤙and that's wear I'm getting my tattoo wish me luck man.
I wish I was more clear so I’ll say it again. The hand isn’t painful man, at all. It’s the fingers, especially by the finger nails that is painful. I have both of my hands done now. Good luck man
Bro you can’t blame a tattooist for a finger or hand tattoo fading….. hands and fingers and notoriously known for fading out….you also work in construction which means your hands are always mobile… plus hands and fingers need touching up a lot it all depends on the person.. some skin types hold ink way better then others…… a 3rd time pass on your hands will prob make the ink hold better then the first couple of times especially the first time. So it’s not really the tattooist fault….. a forearm tattoo will hold way better then a hand tattoo…
thanks man i know i’m late but this helps especially since i got my knuckles done yesterday. very helpful!
It really is up to the person hiring. I have both hands, including all my fingers and 2 sleeves (along with many others) and I work in a school as a pastoral mentor (behaviour management).
I do think that men with tattoos get a bit more prejudice in the work place or when it comes to getting jobs than women. All my tattoos are colourful, cute and girly and so maybe I don't appear as 'threatening' as some males do. Not my opinion by the way, just a thought.
All I will say is that the decision to tattoo my hands was a game changer. I have been treated differently by some but that's a them problem, I'm not remotely bothered. I also worked in education for a good 10 years before getting my hands done. I've worked in over 30 schools and only 2 have ever asked me to cover my tattoos (this was before I had any on my hands). It doesn't bother me having to cover them because I think it's incredibly naive to think that won't ever happen. Mainly though, I have been told that my tattoos make me more relatable to some kids. For anyone reading this, before you commit to hand or neck tattoos, make sure that you can work in your chosen field with them and also accept that you will be turned away now and then. It's just how it is. Just don't have the attitude that it's your life and if society doesn't accept you then that's not your fault blah blah blah. The harsh reality is that we all need to make a living and you'd be very silly to think otherwise. As long as your job accepts them and your job makes you happy then all is good!
One last point I want to make is that it's not usually the tattoos that are a problem to an employer, it's your decision making skills. If you want a face tattoo for example, an employer may judge you solely on the act of getting it done rather than the tattoo itself. They may think that you lack good judgement and are too impulsive and so if the job you want requires lots of planning and problem solving and patience you simply won't be deemed a good candidate. Again, not my opinion at all. I do wish we lived in a world when tattoos didn't cause any issues but they do so we have to work around that if we want to succeed.
I just got my hand and few fingers done yesterday. The artist used a new black ink and he used orange and red on the hand as well. I trust his work, because even arm tattoos can fade if not done properly. But I'll wait until it's fully healed to see if it will be like the other tattoos I have.. He tattooed the hand with black ink first, stopped for a few minutes to let it settle, then went over it again. Same thing for the orange and red ink. Got my elbow done yesterday as well.
I love when the weather is like this haha good video bro
Thanks! Looking forward to getting one and finally found a video that helps thank you!
Just found you bro I'm loving the truth you speak I to love tattoos piece and love from 1 leg UK England
I just got my hand tattoo today and my fingers done today and he's not playing around when he says it hurts. definitely one of the worst tattoo pains.
Thanks for your honesty bro 👍🏽💫
I just got a whole traditional black rose on my hand about 2 weeks ago and I’d say this video is highly accurate. The stigma does suck but I say it’s a whole lot better now. I get more compliments on my tattoos then I do looks. Job wise none of my bosses cared. My old job still wants me back and the current one I work at they fucking love it. Even going through phlebotomy at school rn and it still isn’t stopping me.
Luckily the stereotype is going away because the people with the most tattoos even on their face are the nicest people you'll ever meet
@@lor962 humm
This guy is spot on I got my fingers and hand done 2 weeks ago
Damn homie! Your vid went up by views congrats dawg! 🙌🙌
BTW I do have a hand tattoo and shit it hurts 😂 I’m gonna go get my other hand too!
I'm doing my 2nd and 3rd tattoo tomorrow and I'm 20. Gonna do a tattoo with 4 letters on my knuckles and I'm really excited. I'm a bit afraid of what the future will bring after but I don't really care what people think about my tattoos. It's my body not theirs so...
Was watching videos of people getting their hand tattoos done because im planning to fully cover my hands soon and came across your video. And i love hearing the thing about people looking at your hands being a big deal because i have 6 face tattoos and a 1 & 1/8 inch stretched labret piercing so people always just stare at my face which makes it easy to conversate haha maybe now theyll start looking at my hands instead? 😂
Hey man, I'm going to get "PUNX" on my knuckles, and I've already had my hand done, and it wasn't too bad compared to my centre chest, how do you think thick blacl lettering will fade? Great first video man, keep it up
You get a share man. I feel the same
hunter moore Thanks I really appreciate that!
My hand and fingers are done for a little more than a year and I am a devout Catholic. None of my family has judged too hard and every job I went and interviewed for hasn't cared much either. I am studying gunsmithing and will be doing that for a career. Even when it's older gunsmiths they say "I don't care what you look like as long as you can do good work"
I would say so yeah. I am Hispanic so I have to stay away from typical gang style tattoos, but regardless, as long as it is a tasteful tattoo nobody seems to care. I have American traditional (popeye sailor style) tattoos on my fingers and crosses on my thumbs. @Ejgundy
@@Urstahl I’m relieved to hear this. I’m going to trade school soon to learn about gunsmithing but was concerned about whether or not having hand and knuckle tattoos would affect my ability to be hired. Guess not as long as you’re good at what you do.
I’m a Christian with tattoos too. Just be sure you don’t put on things associated with the Great Enemy.
I'm at my second office job and I'm surprised how many people are tattooed at both businesses. First was government for our water district my manager had his whole body done and another manager has a sleeve and rocked short sleeve polos all the time. My second job I'm at now has a few guys rocking short sleeves with whole arms blasted as well. Times have changed especially with all this pc crap no one wants to touch "my body I'll do what I want with it" but not every employer is like this. Just know there is opportunity for work if you have tattoos.
Got my pinky and ring skeleton pain was definitely 10/10😭 my first tattoo but I will tell you it gave me the confidence to do it again and again
I have 2 tattoos one on each hand and I love them I don't have any issue with people in terms of not being liked because I am friendly and have a wonderful personality also I don't care what other people feel about my tattoos get to know me you'll change your perception of me keep smiling bro
I hear what you're saying. Luckily I'm 60 and just getting started on my tattoo journey. I'm a few short years from "retirement" age. I WANT to be discriminated against, tattoo-wise, because I've spent all the time I intend to working for uncool people. I will no longer work for jerks. Anyone small-minded enough to discriminate against people for how they choose to appear...can suck it.
Great video great tips I appreciate this video
don’t let other judge your personality by having tattoo , if you like it then its worth don’t worry about people 👍👍👍
Do you think that if I work dishwashing and I wear latex gloves itll damage the hand tattoos much or naa?
Nice video too bro
I would sit thru getting my head tattooed again over getting my lower knuckles done again
thank you for this✊🏻
Encouraging booked next week for 1st hand 👌🏼💪🏻
Omg!!!!!! I just said the same thing yesterday I got my hand done yesterday, and I already had one on my finger at another shop and the FIRST THING I NOTICED was how much more it hurt this time (and also agree that the pain was reassuring me that it was being done correctly) and it definitely hurt lol an easy 7/8 out of 10
I wanna get my hand done, I have all my fingers done with stick n pokes (actually good ones) and I see employers lookin everytime. Luckily I’m also 10 years into landscape and design as well as heavy equipment operating experience, so lucky me they don’t care much. I alprena guy like you out here keepin it real
Sick tattoo man n imma be betting my 2nd tattoo when I turn 17 on my hand besides the finger for now
Thanks man great information
Thanks man u gave me some good advice.
Thank you for this video I was actually about to get a fingers tattoos and that was very helpful for me on making the decision
My dad is in a motorcycle club with tattoos on his face, hands, and neck but the wealthy people we do custom carpentry for love him and always have nothing but nice things to say. It’s not about the ink, it’s about how you act with that ink on you (don’t give people a reason to judge/label/stereotype you and you’re good).
I'm an old girl, 50 something, i got my first three tattos this year, i love all of them, two on my wrists, one somewhere else. My tatto artist said the same that it would hurt like fuck on my hand and that it would fade after few years, so i took her advice and didn't get my hand inked. My tattos were painless, slight scratchy feeling, and tiny bit stingy . My son got his first tattoo at 16, i wasn't happy but couldn't be mad cos it said mum. Glad you made this video cos ill def not be getting my hands done ,,,,, maybe lol.. love from Ireland xx
ive never had a job turn me down for tattoos i really do believe its personality and how you carry yourself
all stereotypes aside I use to judge people with visible tattoos having tattoos myself in hidden places until I met a woman who had a anchor rose on her hand as a tattoo I was interested and asked her the meaning she says her mother bought her a rose anchor jewel she wore around her finger her mother passed away she lost the jewel so she got it tattooed on her hand now I look differently at finger and hand tattoos there not all bad there meaningful to
Awesome hands bro
I'm in HVAC and am thinking of getting either a neck or hand tattoo. I appreciate your input. Makes my decision harder but I gain a question I need to make sure I'm ready to answer. Am I ready to be judged by the populas in a negative light? Even negative attention is attention but am I mentally ready? Hmm. Have a great holiday weekend my guy.
Thx sick ink. Definitely going get blast on my hands
Comes down to how progressive your state or city is. I live in Vegas and I work at H&M and we have people with hand tattoos and neck tattoos. When I was looking for apartments there was a few girls that had neck tattoos showing apartments. So it really depends on where you live cuz it may not limit your job options that much.
Just got my knuckles done. Pain wasn’t bad at all for me. Probably gonna have to get them touched up after they heal but pretty stoked! I am work at my hands but we are required to wear gloves anyhow. I wear sun sleeves at work to keep sun damage away so when I’m in a persons house it’s no big deal for me.
Love how he says his mom and brother expected it
I work as a aircraft mechanic there’s a couple people at work with hand tattoos. I think for the most part any kind of blue-collar job you’re fine if you plan to work in an office they probably won’t like them too much.
bro cool video bro i just got my fingers tatted it’s awesome i love expressing myself lol and yeah it hurts but worth it
best video out there ab this just got mine done again, second touch up. everything u said in this video all true😂
Ive had the side of my palm tattooed for 6 years and I still like it and have noticed no difference in public at all
That’s an awesome tattoo ! But can I ask you what your opinion is on women with hand tattoos ? I have my entire left hard tattooed with a flower and hear a lot about men finding tattooed women unattractive which I find unfair because I should be able to have a tattoo I love and have been wanting for years without feeling like men find me unattractive for it.
Absolutely, girls should be able to get whatever they want just like guys. Some guys just think women having certain tattoos in certain areas in masculine which is all up to that certain guy, but at the end of the day you don’t wanna be with guys like that anyways, you’ll find a guy who doesn’t even see the tattoos and loves you for you. Right now I’m with a girl who I never thought I’d get a chance to be with because of certain things in my past and my tattoos especially now both of my hands and fingers are covered, but she doesn’t even see them she looks right through them and I’m super grateful for that and for her, so you’ll find the same.
I'm the same brother covered with tats and both hands and fingers and palms done.. also work in construction though so we are lucky indeed bud 👌 but really it should be accepted everywhere eh? Slowly but surely were getting there man 🙌💯
What state are you in? Cuz I got my hands and throat blasted and I make residential deliveries all day and I can’t really recall getting that kind of energy from people. Maybe being In cali makes a difference idk
I like it bro keep kickin ass
Wuz up Mr. 900? Great video.
I’m not really concerned because if I need to, I could just put foundation on my fingers to cover them. Dumb question, what does it feel like, getting a tattoo? I wonder if it’s like a cat scratch, but more pressure
Helpful video, I’ve just got my wrist and hand and knuckles done. I get looked at strange, but at the end of the day your body your choice. I love your tattoo, the healing progress is just a f^cker
nice good advice G appreciate it
Good vid man!
Love this video good job keeping it sooooooo real
The redone part is definitely true but the pain differs from person to person, I hardly had any pain personally, black sticks very well for me, color is extremely hard to keep in the fingers but top of the hand it’s sticking very well, been 6 years and still looks good just color fade on the fingers is my only problem
I feel like it also depends on where you live.. in Texas , California , Florida and New York I’ve seen ppl with face and hand tattoos get employed at plenty of places. Tattoos are definitely more normalized in these areas
I have tattooed my hand and fingers, and it did hurt for 1 min , but after that I just carried on , loved every minute of it ,
First video and u looks like u done youtube videos from 3 years , u have that UA-cam talent so keep going and I enjoyed this video
Black Page I appreciate that man I’ll make another one soon
@@tylerkielb599 please do the video was awesome and ur employer was rigjt you got a good personality
