They're ALLOWED to. it's just kind of a waste to do tattoo work on hands and/or feet cause the ink will come out over time and usually shops gaurentee their work so that means they have to keep doing it over and over, for free!

Well it's mainly because the hands are, next to a couple of orifices, the dirtiest parts of the human body, at least part of the time. Most tattooists like to guarantee their work but there are no guarantees when it comes to the hands. Hands are always doing things they shouldn't and even in the things they should do, it's generally not conducive to proper healing of your new tattoo.

On top of that, a tattoo on the hand is definite identification. I know you would never do nothing wrong, but if you did, a tattoo on the hand would be positive identification.

Hope this helps......
