Talk about cute.
By Nicole Lane — Written on May 23, 2018
Tattoos are relatively common. Moms have them. Dads have them. "Working professionals" have them, and for good reason. Over the last few decades, they have become part of the mainstream.
But for many years, hand and finger tattoos were consider taboo. They were relegated to musicians, "thugs," and hardcore enthusiasts.
But things are different. Times have changed, and what was once edgy is now elegant, especially when it comes to these finger tattoo ideas and minimalist tattoos you'll want to get immediately.
