Does it hurt? Yes. In fact the palms are one of the most sensitive areas in the body with a lot of nerve endings. These nerves are connected to our internal organs. So if ever you get a palm tattoo and feel a tinge in your stomach, that could be it.

“I personally persuade people not to get their palms, lips or bottoms of feet tattooed purely for the fact of epidermal regeneration. The skin is constantly regenerating and slowly pushes the ink. I definitely would suggest against white because it is super light to begin with. Even with black ink you’ll have to have them touched up every 4-6 months. If you have no qualms about paying a studio minimum every several months & don’t mind the healing process over & over, then have at it.”
