Insider spoke with tattoo artists to learn more about common mistakes they had seen people make when getting wrist tattoos.
Anastasiia Gatsko, the owner of G Tattoo & Piercing, warned against placing wrist tattoos too close to the palm of the hand.
“When the tattoo is done too close to the palm, specifically in the wrinkly part, fine lines may not stay, and the overall healing may not be good,” she told Insider. “Additionally, a design that does not align with the natural wrinkles of the hand can result in an awkward and unnatural appearance.”
