GOLD WEDDING RING TATTOO

suey71

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I never ever thought about getting a tattoo, but I have lost my wedding ring and to be honest, I never felt comfortable wearing it, not that I don't love my wife, I do, but I'm not really a ring person.

Now. What I was thinking of doing to show my wife how much I love her is to get a gold ring tattooed onto my ring finger.

Is this possible? Is there such a thing as gold ink? But more importantly is it safe? dont want to get cancer of the finger in a few years time.

All advice much appreciated.

You can't get gold but an artist used to using yellow and good shading should be able to do something.

Like this:


Mind, the tattoo will fade over time anyway.

Tattooing your fingers isn't really advisable for many reasons (fades mad quick, hard to hide, always visible) and unless you've a big batch of work on you no reasonable tattoo artist will touch you

I've seen a couple of people with wedding ring tattoos, some have faded, some havn't and one of those poeple, it's his only tattoo... so i think it's down to what you really want and talking it through with the tattoo artist.

i would advise you to go with something a bit more creative than just a tattoo of a gold band though... may not look so good as a tattoo...

In general, with most people, the sides and palm side of the finger won't hold the ink very well at all.
