Some friends and I were talking about tattoos we want once we’re old enough to get them, and one friend said she wanted a peace sign tattooed on her finger, like, right in the center of where your finger print is. I thought it was an interesting idea, but it seemed like a difficult place to get a tattoo. Is it possible to do something like that? If it were, would it affect your sense of touch on that finger?

Is it possible to do something like that? Sure. Chances are however, the tattoo is not going to stay, or at least stay looking good, for very long due to the thicker, calloused nature of the skin on the pad of your finger.

Your friend will probably also have a harder time finding an artists willing to do a tattoo there because they know it isn’t going to hold well over time.

My advice would be for your friend to pick a different spot for the tattoo.
