After dropping on a fancy manicure,
the last thing anyone wants is for it to go unnoticed. But what if
there was a way to guarantee that no one misses out on seeing your
totally rad (and pricey) polish? Cuticle tattoos are the answer — and
they're about to be a major game changer for your manicure.

According to PopSugar, these tiny finger tattoos
are exactly what the name suggests: small designs, dots, and lines that
are placed directly next to the cuticle on one or more fingers. Think
of them as midi rings, but cooler — and way more permanent.
However, just like other tattoos placed on spots that tend to fade fast,
cuticle tattoos might need some touching up through the years. Also, a
PSA to anyone with low pain tolerance: these tattoos will hurt, thanks to how bony fingers tend to be.
Of
course, if you're not quite ready to make that amount of commitment
yet, you can always test out this look with flash tattoos. Some brands
even have designs specifically made to fit your cuticle area. Praise.
